Well, that’s just terrible. Have you no sense of shame? You should be thoroughly miserable! I’m kidding. Congratulations. 😉 _hugs_ ---

Congratulations! I work about 10 minutes up Rt. 1…beautiful neighborhood around there. Well, by “work”, I mean that’s where my office is headquartered. I telecommute now, but since I’m actually in the office today I’ll still go with the “10 minutes away” thing. ---

So you’re saying that he should [never leave a computer logged on and unattended for more than 10 minutes](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=333640&) if he ends up going there? 😃 ---

**Athelas** : Congrats and welcome to one of the most beautiful parts of New Jersey. Are you from Jersey or Out-of State? **twickster** , are you organizing a large Philly get-together? Jim ---

> [@What Exit?](#): > > **twickster** , are you organizing a large Philly get-together? I could arrange to, if people were interested. I’ve been thinking of getting together a tour of either Eastern State Penitentiary or Laurel Hill Cemetery, with a meal after. I’ve been busy of late with the whole new job thing, though, so I’d need encouragement. **eye-batting smiley** ---

Congrats! Undergrad or grad? What major/field are you in? I also got into a school, just this morning - the University of Amsterdam. Master’s program in theoretical physics. I’m UNBELIEVABLY excited. Yay for acceptances! 😃 ---

Congratulations. I know a professor in Mathmatics down there. Good luck. ---

> [@Spatial Rift 47](#): > > Congrats! Undergrad or grad? What major/field are you in? Undergrad, probable chemistry major (or “concentrator”, as I guess I should get used to calling it =] ). As a matter of fact, I live about 10 minutes from Princeton, which is both a good thing (easy to grab stuff from home) and a bad one (easy for parents to conduct surveillance). Chances for Harvard are looking pretty slim, and I didn’t get into fancy Brown med program. So, looks like Princeton. Very nice. ---

**Athelas** – Congratulations! Are you definitely going? I’m checking out the campus this weekend to make sure it feels like a good match for me, but I’m probably going. ---

> [@Khadaji](#): > > Congratulations. I know a professor in Mathmatics down there. Good luck. Funny, I know a math professor there as well. Just by relative-of-a-friend association, though, I was his son’s roommate back when I was a freshman at a different school. Cool, that makes two now with **Zahava424**. Congratulations!
