k_k, ya gotta get down under... ginger beer galore (probably in the UK too)

poorly stocked bar??...there's always the ol' popov screwdriver.

popov screwdriver made with that frozen Donald Duck OJ tastes suprisingly good. Did this in undergrad, couldn't even taste the nasty flavor of the Popov.

OKay , this thread is out of control.

that's right broccolijet - keep it simple.

my favorite these days is - vodka, cranberry juice, and peach schnapps garnished with a fat slice of orange.

on another note here's my portfolio

applied to:
UW - Seattle | Accepted
Maryland | Accepted
Clemson | Accepted
U.Mich | Waitlisted
Colorado @ Denver | still waiting
U.Va. | still waiting

awesome painting w3!

what program did you use for the renders?

I agree with simple...all i need to be happy is some sky vodka and ice

w3...great portfolio...where did you go to undergrad? The use of color is really nice.

I am starting to feel like its going to be a long month, this process is never ending

thanks no sleep

i used 3dmax...w touchup in photoshop of course.

ahhh crap i just found the labels i was supposed to mail to columbia for when they send things to me... completely forgot to include them! is it even worth it to send them to them now or just forget it?

My favorite - Chamisul
the best stuff in the world

mmmmmm, you guys are makin' me THIRSTY!!!

nice, i would doubt that they would go to the trouble of making calls for rejections so it's probably good news!

In response to previous questions.....

No email.... just the package postmarked March 12 Cambridge MA

Sent to Denver Co

I too like the scotch and after today..... I will be opening my special occasion bottle.

Still on vacation. Just got to the hotel and checked the thread. Sorry to hear about the UT denial, OutsideDream. At least you already have a few acceptances under your belt.

O.k. Going to check my e-mail now to see if I received any news today.

sirgemhl i like chamilsu too :p

outsidedreams, i'm so sorry about ut. your drawings were amazing and if only they could see the potential in you :( good luck to you on your other applications!

kristin, it sounds like the response was positive. eeeek!!!

you guys. i'm DYING here. i'm starting to wonder...is my email fwds not working properly? did i write down the write ph#? did my applications arrive late? did my recommenders sabotage me? or myabe i just totally SUCK buffalo balls. haha. seriously, i'm having a coronary here.

Again, nothing today.

Is this a bad time to mention that I have an anxiety disorder and a lifelong fear of rejection? Thought so... Nevermind.

no new news for me today either. However I am feeling much better about CCA now that I know that none of the scholarship decisions have been made yet, so it might still be a possibility for me. I was pretty sad when I thought that I got in but didn't get any funding, because I really like the program and would be sad to turn it down for financial reasons.

rationalist

What is the CCA? a school in the U.S.?

California College of the Arts, in San Francisco

I got nothing today. Just letting everyone know. See you guys tomorrow.

still nothing gah-

do you guys think that gsapp is just sending small batch every week or something? not many gsapp compare to gsd acceptances...

rationalist

ah, thanks...to me, the CCA means something else.


baboomba

in the end, UT sounds like a strong program...but I do intend to turn down Yale, so if you're looking for a MArch 2 spot...

I got nothing today, as well.

I want to mention this though:

St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday of all time! I am so excited! I am coming to Chicago this weekend if anyone wants to come watch them dye the river green with me.....this is perfectly timed as it will take my mind off all of this nonsense temporarily.

Furthermore, I love this thread....its angst, its hand-wringing, its "double check the time stamp" posts....I love the fact that there are so many lurkers that show up with wicked-cool screen names out of nowhere.....and I love that most of you have no idea what's going on in the rest of the forum. It makes me smile. :o)

Slainte!

10-4 WonderK...

I'm not even remotely Irish and I am heading to some big show/party 'cos Boston is quite out of control on the Paddy's Day.

And I used to be "sofya"...you might remember me from such posts as "Help me name my dog with a funny architecture name!"

But I see your point.

For the record:

UCLA | Urban Planning=accepted; Arch.= nothing yet

UIC | Urban Planning=accepted; Arch.=also nothing

GSD/GSAPP/MIT/UPENN=even more nothingness

I loved your tattoo, welly!

WonderK... I used to know what was going on on the rest of the site. But frankly, I'm sparing everyone else the agony of reading my obsessive posts at this juncture. I know they all hate when grad-school-fever takes over archinect, so I'm trying to limit my contribution to it. Happy St. Patty's Day!

people were talking about scotch earlier... Laphroig is my absolute favorite easily available whiskey (Trader Joe's.) I went to my undergrad in Scotland- it was so fun being able to taste a variety of whiskeys. Someone should open up a whiskey bar in CA! Anyone know of one?

WonderK: I won't be going to the St. Patty's Day parade, but if you're interested in getting together for drinks that evening, let me know. I know a couple places that have excellent selections of single-malt scotches.

I used to like whiskey-sodas. I heard that is an old man's drink! I am basically an old man so it's okay!

My current poisons of choice:

Hi guys

I was surfing this thing trying to find out who else besides me has heard from GSD. I'm so glad I got in but am not too exited about moving to Boston. I guess a lot of people haven't heard yet. I provided a link to my portfolio just for your curiousity. I heard that the applicants with the most experience and strongest portfolios tend to hear first, so don't stress out. Don't look if you think you'll be intimidated.

best of luck,

ann

that is one damn nice portfolio you have...
I dont think I have a chance anymore...T-T

hahaha i love it

I just woke up from a weird dream. In the first part, I was watching a television news show. The guest was some sort of designer. She was talking about the psychology of design (though she pronounced the word 'psychology' really oddly). I remember thinking to myself that it was really great to see such good discussion about design on a mainstream news show.

The second part of the dream is where I leave the TV and go to my job as a dentist. I'm not a dentist in real life, though dentistry highly informs certain aspects of what I do (aseptic technique, bedside manner, etc). Dozens of people have told me that I should be a doctor.

Anyway, back to the dream. I'm at my new dentist office, which I'd just purchased. My first client is this incredibly attractive woman (a curvy redhead, in case you care). Everything's going well until I prepare to do x-rays. I can't figure out how to work the x-ray machine!!! I don't panic, but it's really bothering me and I have this gorgeous woman on the bed in front of me, and I'm distracted and annoyed that I can't get this damn machine to work.

Eventually I wake up.

It all comes back to design. If I can't figure out how to use this machine, how useful is it? Design, baby.

I know it was just a dream, but it was highly topical - a television news show featuring design, a new career (dentist = architect), and a beautiful woman that I can't have (where's my damn M.Arch acceptance letter???)

Yeah. I'm thankful for that 20 minutes of sleep I got tonight. On top of the four hours the night before. Rough times.

ann culture

The GSD is in Cambridge..
so, obviously you're lying

okay - so my mom called me out of the blue yesterday (my cincinnati letter is coming to their house up in ohio) and sounded really depressed. and i immediately freaked out - "bad news or good news?" to which she said good news! we're coming down to visit!

poor mom - i had to explain to her why i sounded so let down.

speaking of st. patrick's day - if anyone's going to be out in breckenridge, let me know! i'll be out there celebrating and trying to not think about this grad school stuff.

so good luck to everyone these next couple days! hope it brings good news for anyone who hasn't heard yet.

Congratulations to all who have received acceptances.

wow, your portfolio sent me right back to one of my freshman year drawing classes, ann_culture!

uzshef - don't be such a snob, isn't cambridge just across the river from boston?!

yeah, and did you even look at "ann's" portfolio? i'm pretty sure it was just a joke....

relax folks, I believe he was making a joke too.

Good morning and goodluck today people...oh yeah, and MARCH MADNESS is here...finally loads of distraction to keep my anxious self occupied.

Beware the Ides of March!!!!! So, I just got my Princeton e-ject. Not too terribly disappointed since it was the program that I was least interested in. However, I hope I get some good news (i.e. an acceptance letter) very soon!

just e-jected by princeton

e-ject from princeton
