just watched the season finale of Making the Band 3, and i must say Danity Kane is quite a cool band, though i really can't stand their first single, Showstoppers...
their opening concert was held at the Brooklyn Bridge, same location that U2 chose for their free live show earlier this year...

next week can be considered the real beginning of the Os, coz of the written papers (physics and bio pract not counted as real papers)
mother tongue on monday, chem pract on tuesday, literature on thursday...
so to all those taking the Os, ALL THE BEST YEAH!
i'm sure ya'll do fine, especially since ya'll appear to have studied TONNES more than us IP kids...
to the NJ ppl taking HMT, all the best too, i totally agree that its a waste of time...
