Now I know why.<BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>It's funny to compare that to the college visits I'm used to now. At Emory they're very very serious, of course, and at Agnes Scott they're super friendly, but relatively 'collegiate'. But of course, neither one has a football team.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441839717187205020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145130710043009707.post-612109244584560302008-11-23T21:07:00.000-06:002008-11-23T21:07:00.000-06:00I think Jamie can negotiate through and around all...I think Jamie can negotiate through and around all that Aggie "stuff." Are those also the guys who do "Hook 'em horns!" and give a hand salute with the thumb and index finger extended like horns? Glad he is aiming high with his college choices - he deserves it with all the work and honors he earned in high school.<BR/><BR/>His application essays are fabulous.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, Jamie (and Mom, Dad and Jake)!<BR/><BR/>Grandmalois meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365588708937213710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145130710043009707.post-44402415825857847642008-11-21T22:51:00.000-06:002008-11-21T22:51:00.000-06:00havingfun, yeah, I know some people who went there...havingfun, yeah, I know some people who went there who didn't get so deeply involved in the whole Aggie thing.
