<p>Curry is too spicy for me. I would love it if it’s not spicy. What is curry that’s not spicy? 
I think that’s not curry anymore :D</p>
<p>I’m still a prep</p>
<p>i love curry haha</p>
<p>@hamburger110 Okay, but just a few closing words for some people. For you, I completely agree, I should just not assume people are a certain race because I live amongst them </p>
<p>@GoldenRatio I think I’d replace easygoing with a bit of a temper that flares every now and then, but you’re right on with the PLL. I do have a habit of ‘curling up’ in class with a book (currently reading The Girl Who Played With Fire and it is amazing!) and I am very happy sometimes, haha</p>
<p>@spaceneedlesevie Curry with naan bread? Because I love naan bread and curry, but prefer them separately</p>
<p>I personally love love love bitter melon…because I like tasting the sour/bitter of everything. I may be in the minority in this issue.</p>
<p>Unfortuneately, I don’t like spicy foods that much. 
So no curry for me! But I do adore naan bread.</p>
<p>@bsroxmysox: Haha, tempers rise; this girl is on fire–! I’ve also heard of The Girl Who Played With Fire. How amazing is amazing?</p>
<p>Reading is amazing. And it really does help you get into these schools.</p>
<p>Oh goodness I absolutely love curry! Especially seafood curry and for people who don’t like spicy food, adding coconut milk to curry really reduces the spicyness but retains the flavour</p>
<p>@GoldenRatio Never heard of bitter melon, but I despise bitter foods so that might be a good thing! TGWPWF is a great book, but only if you’ve read the book and/or seen the movies. It’s intense, but in a subtle way that you can only get if you’re used to reading stuff like that. It also gets a bit brutal, and a bit sexual in points of the book, so you have to be prepared for that too.</p>
<p>@AmbiD77: Coconut milk is awesome! One of my favorite drinks-actually, coconut anything will instantly be my favorite. I’ll be sure to try it ;)</p>
<p>@bsroxmysox: Haha, you don’t really want to eat some if you hate bitterness. My liking for bitter melon was an “acquired taste.” The first few times I had it, I had to chug down two glasses of milk before I couldn’t taste the lingering aftertaste. It’s a lot like durian in that way…but the thing is, bitter melon never smells like fermenting trash!</p>
<p>There’s a movie for TGWPWF?</p>
<p>@GoldenRatio Last time I checked, the '13 release was pushed pack, and there were rumors that the movie was going to kill off Daniel Craig (Mikael Blomkvist). If it does, I’m not watching the third movie.</p>
<p>@bsroxmysox: I am so behind! Wait, Blomkvist’s going to be killed? O_O</p>
<p>They cant kill Blomkvist. There couldnt be a third movie without him, he’s the hero of the third book. It d be like Harry Potter 7th without Harry Potter lol.</p>
<p>Ps: curry with coconut milk sounds good^^</p>
<p>I assumed this thread was just people talking about themselves, so I never bothered to look at it, but now I have I see you’ve got to discussing films and food. I’ve never seen a section on CC that goes off topic so easily!</p>
<p>What @Bearcatprep says is very true, reading looks great as an applicant. The two subjects I was considering when I applied were medicine and history, so in my essays I talked about The Sefish Gene and some of the history books I’ve read, particularly The Quick and the Dead by Richard Van Emden. I think all the schools asked me about reading in my interviews and it was good to have something to say! At Westminster my interviewer (now my future housemistress :D) even reccomended me some books and that was basically all we talked about.</p>
<p>@UKgirl23: Haha…oh, if only all these advice was given sooner! I only got the reading questions from Taft, though.</p>
<p>Me too! The same as you GoldenRatio!</p>
<p>@hamburger110: Who interviewed you at Taft? I drew a short straw on that one; my interviewer was a sports coach…and I’m not athletic at all. X_X</p>
<p>The interviewer was mr. Rob Madden. Share my passion for soccer . Yeah! And you?</p>
<p>@hamburger110: A sports coach. It was hard not to start spewing arts jargon in my answers, since my interviewer was unfamiliar with it all…so I had to start emphasizing a love of community, etc. My Taft interview was horrible. :P</p>
<p>@GoldenRatio: it’s true that the interview would be much much better if you share the same passion with iinterviewer.</p>
<p>@hamburger110: So lucky you! 
My Hotchkiss interview was so much better, though, so it wasn’t as if all the interviews were terrible.</p>
<p>IMO, part of a great interview experience has to be how the interviewer and interviewee match up, e.x. do they share any similarities? If so, then that’s just one step closer to an awesome interview! Then again, the interviewee also has to exploit these connections, or else it could just end up as another mundane interview.</p>
