<p>I've decided not to apply to TASP (for a multitude of reasons that stem mainly from fear and my refusal to read books, heh heh "-<em>-). I was just wondering if there were any summer humanities programs that pertain mainly to the exploration of society and morality (ultimately, something that's thought provoking and is sure to change one's outlook on life). Perhaps this is a tall order and admittedly, it's subjective and perhaps vague BUT I NEED SUGGESTIONS, MY PAST SUMMERS WERE HORRIBLE AND HERMIT-LIKE. T</em>_T</p>
<p>apply to tasp</p>
<p>Tasp strikes fear into my heart…</p>
<p>Banish the fear and stand firm!</p>
<p>Or, um don’t</p>
<p>because…competition </p>
<p>meh</p>
<p>No offense, but if you don’t want to read books, and read a lot of them, what are you doing looking into Humanities summer programs?</p>
<p>Let me rephrase that, It isn’t that I DON’T want to read books, its merely not having enough time to read the amount of books necessary to carry out a sound interview regarding them. Specifically, many of the books I’ve read THIS YEAR were school assigned (past applications have specifically requested NOT to put them on the list of book’s read in the past year) and the only other books that I’ve read recreationally were science and math themed. Again, let me reemphasize that I have an interest in intellectually stimulating literature but I haven’t read as many books as I would’ve liked to due to time constraints</p>
<p>I had like four books on my book list (plus magazines/newspapers). My interviewer didn’t talk about the book list at all.</p>
<p>Apply to TASP.</p>
<p>Alright, now I’m just spewing excuses at this point…</p>
<p>AND THE SEARCH CONTINUES!</p>
<p>…which just MIGHT include a TASP application</p>
