Right, EV is probably not the place for you. I have heard that Rains and Munger are both more social
Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking of putting EV as my first choice since I had a friend staying in a low-rise near the grad centre and I really liked what I saw. Now I may list Rains and Munger above it. I'm just concerned that Munger may be less diverse: more lawyers and more people who want to pay extra for a closer and nicer place (not exactly the typical person in my program).
How's Lyman?

I received a letter in the mail late last week saying that I was awarded the Julie Payette NSERC Scholarship.

Is that a euphemism?

The situation in China involved students memorizing GRE test questions and posting them on web sites for future test takers. This may seem like unquestionable cheating, however, many students may not view it that way. In fact, in a 2001 academic integrity survey at one university, almost half of those responding (42%) did not consider "asking another student for test questions" to be cheating and 84% of respondents felt that it was not dishonest to purchase notes from a note-taking company. Almost 90% of those asked did not feel it was cheating to purchase notes from another student. [2] In dealing with the GRE situation, therefore, the larger question is how cheating is perceived by students, as well as the institutions themselves, and what can be done to instill in today's students the importance of academic integrity.
Cheating and academic fraud in Asia has been a growing problem as the country has moved towards a market-based economy. Pressures to succeed in this economy have caused many to forge transcripts and letters of recommendation, and even to purchase fake diplomas. The black market for diplomas in China has exploded in recent years

I found the Princeton Review's "Crash Course for the GRE" to be useful just for that reason: they focus on test-taking strategy and point out the major ways that ETS tries to screw you with trick questions. Plus the intro is unbelievably snarky.

Usually what happens is that I will suddenly start thinking about an assignment and then feel more and more unsettled until I just sit down and do it, no matter when the due date is. This will happen with random stuff as well: I'll be falling asleep at 2am and suddenly think, "I need to wash out my Nalgene." And I'll be unable to fall asleep until I get out of the damned bed and go wash out the bottle. I mean, it could wait for tomorrow. So could the assignment that's not due until next week. But I get agitated and can't settle down until I just get it done.
I do that too. Have you tried keeping a to-do list? Once you get into the habit it's actually very good for piece-of-mind, since you can just get up, write it down, and put it out of your head until the next day.

Note: We are going to raze about 150 various meat chickens this year, though.
Great story! Although I hope you meant raise

Per square-foot it is less of a difference. Plus the 2-bedroom apartments are in the low-rises, so you basically have a whole (small) town-house, while the 2-bedroom efficiency apartments are in the high-rise buildings and are basically just two bedrooms (the links take you to the floor-plans).
