Dilemma dilemma

I keep changing the list of universities that I wanna apply to. Sooo many things to think about. *headache headache*

Blame the kiasuness. And indecisiveness. Mostly kiasuness.

My latest list:
Not necessarily in this order of preference. Hopefully it stays (relatively) fixed this time.

1. University of Wisconsin, Madison
2. Boston University, Boston
3. Ohio State University, Columbus
4. University of Washington, Seattle
5. Pennsylvania State University, University Park

And this is how my conversation with Dave went today, after discovering Boston:

All I wanted to do was take a break and watch a drama, even though I haven't finished downloading the previous two episodes. Usually I skip the opening song, but today I didn't and kinda half'-watched it instead.

Then I saw something.
