three orders of business

[slumber]

1. A Public Service Announcement:
   
   Mac Users: You may want to be warned about a sort of trojan spreading around designed particularly for Quicktime users. (Though it isn't really the point of the article to which I just linked you, really. :|)
   
   
2. A Question
   
   I joined a holiday card exchange community and one of the occasions we're asked to write cards about is the Winter Solstice, or Yule.
   
   And I have no idea what sort of greetings are used for it. :| (On that note, coming from a country with primarily one religion in one area and a different one in another, I don't actually know much about Jews either.) The rest (like dates and stuff) I'm sure I can google, but if any of you do know more about this please to be telling me any special rituals or events regarding Winter Solstice?
   
   
3. The Christmas Card Thingy
   
   Guys, I've already bought the cards, but I realised it would be SO much cooler if I did it another way, as inspired by the comm I previously mentioned.
   
   If you trust me not to stalk you, please do leave me your address in a comment (I'm screening them, don't worry), along with characters you'd want to receive christmas card/greetings from, and I shall attempt to be in character for you. :| or something. maybe i'll just send you regular christmas cards. :| but you know. in case this is a good idea. :D (I DO have a seal that I've been dying to use since I bought it in Denmark, if I can only find it now. :|)
   
   Also, my address can be found here. I think it's been arbitrarily filtered so if you can't see it but want to send me a card as well then comment and I'll add you to the filter. (S'the problem with those things--you set them up once and then forget to add people to them. :|)

ETA: If I have your address, and I may or may not have lost it, depending, I'll likely send you something still. :|

Illinois Institute of Technology? Dunno if you've ever heard of that, though. :P Why? Aren't you in Ohio State Uni?

I have heard of that. Just wondering. :P

And yes, I am. :P I'm applying to UChicago for med school, though, among others. :P (Although they rejected me for undergrad, so I don't know...XD)

Ooh, cool. :D Northwestern has a medical school too, doesn't it? That's my dream school for an MBA, haha. I love this city, apparently. :| (Personally I think grad applications have more valid criteria for picking students, and I am betting your GPA and your MCAT grades would factor in a lot, so. Just ace those, and I'm sure you will anyway. :P)
