At Concordia, people just seemed to want to get their degrees as soon as possible and get a job. By the way, do you have any idea how hard it is to get into McGill (like GPA out of 4 / SAT because I'm American)? I really don't know. Probably not that high because they accepted me. Although they'll accept any Francophone.

My parents think it's a good safety just in case the Ivies all reject me, plus it's way cheaper.

I found the link anyway.

If you want a non-drinking school, don't come to Penn State.  That's my biggest problem with it, everyone there is obsessed with alcohol.  When people know how old I am and that I still rarely drink (maybe some wine every now and then but that's about it), they like to call me crazy. 

I think I'm going to buy the Korekyojinn guitar/bass sheet music available on Yoshi's website.  Then I need to learn the bass lines, get my friend who plays guitar to learn the guitar parts, and find a crazy drummer.

Yeah I know that Penn State's a big party school. One of my cousins went there. He was a big drinker in college apparently. I don't plan on drinking at all (aside from the occasional wine once I'm at the legal age). I'll be turning 21 March of my senior year in college, so it's not like I'll be able to drink much legally anyway.

It was odd.

Anyways, I'm getting off for a bit so my sister can type her essays. I'll be back soon.

I've got to go too. I'll be back later, possibly.

Bye y'all!
