Welcome freakin’ back, Gossip Girl! I officially screamed at my television last night. Bring on the juicy.

Let me say this: I continue to have a bitter distaste for Dan, and Chuck remains (by far) my total fave. AND Lily gained some cool points tonight too. If you missed it, stop reading now, turn on your DVR, and watch. And if you watched, feel free to comment on your favorite part of last night’s stellar ep.

The show started with the usual Yale bullsh*t. Blah blah blah, aren’t they in yet, already? No, they aren’t. And there’s a certain new, young, hot teacher who is going to rock everyone’s world. Anybody else think it’s weird that Serena instantly becomes her new Shakespeare teacher’s bff? I mean, I had teachers I was tight with, but not to this degree. And, a note to Ms. Carr, never tell your students it’s your first salaried gig. That’s just asking for it.

As the Yale-shizz unravels, Serena laments to Dan that she is afraid that she’ll get into Yale, and Blair won’t. Presumptuous? Or foreshadowing?

A word of caution to CollegeCandy readers: there is a glitch in the Internet Explorer web browser that may leave you vulnerable to hackers trying to steal your passwords.

If you’re using the browser now, exit the program and switch to a different one (such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera).

The good news is that engineers at Microsoft (which owns IE) are working to resolve the error, which makes it easy for computer hackers to steal your passwords and gain access to your personal information. In the meantime, play it safe and don’t use Internet Explorer for using email, accessing bank statements, online holiday shopping, or even Facebook. Try downloading Firefox or Google Chrome for free.

Once that’s all set, be sure to update your anti-spyware software to keep yourself safe. And come on back to CC, we’ll keep an eye out for ya!
