<p>Wow, simply wow. I had an awesome time with everyone at Candidates' Weekend. To especially all of my fellow candidates, who would ever think there is such an awesome group of people!? Before CW, I thought Olin was for me, now I don't see how I could be any place else. I didn't realize the incredibleness (is that a word?), until the tingly feeling wore off after the group activity/interview, which!, btw, was amazing. I would love to talk with anyone, my AIM sn is wolps88.</p>
<p>Hmmm, I must somehow do my homework for tomorrow.</p>
<p>Yay, I'm glad you had fun. I just started an account here. I loved xforums, and when it got erased, I was upset. My AIM is attached also so if anyone would like to talk, it would be great. (Though I'm not online much anymore.) you could also facebook me!!!</p>
<p>I also had a great time at Olin. I pretty much went in not knowing what to expect and not worrying about it, and it was very fun and interesting. It definately moved Olin into my #1 school slot, so hopefully everything will work out.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm Stan AKA kid with "ninjas are cool sign" in the slideshow.</p>
<p>Stan aka kid who gave me The Fiery Furnaces CD? And Stefan?</p>
<p>I have to agree entirely, though. I was concerned about the size of Olin and its proximity to my house, but after CW 1, I think it has become my first choice. I loved every single person I met there, and I had an absolutely amazing time.</p>

<p>here's a short summary of CW 1 for me......</p>
<p>-unicyclists attempting to joust in the snow
-a bicycle that was described as a "death-machine"
-Twister(tm) in a painfully schtanky elevator
-"Krud" or "Crud" game on pool table for hours on end
-wheeled-chair rase course
-pyramid of feet
-Demolition Man (which nobody seemed to be watching)
-trying to sleep while people jump on your bed
-watching people light themselves on fire
-listening to a skit by a cross-dressing Rhodes scholar and two other professors
-realizing that someone broke the ping-pong table while you were away
-Super Smash Bros theme song played by the London Symphony
-plans for a so-called, so-imagined "Go-Hot tub"
-being a zombie for hours on end due to sleep deprivation
-performing a fifteen minute presentation in 30 seconds
-eating ice cream after every meal
-watching out "design project" hold 2 bags of sand WITH the heavy-handed assistance of the "judges"
-realizing how slippery granite is when covered with 2 inches of snow
-admiring a Pi=3.1415962... and e=2.71... written out to about the 15th significant figure in the snow
-trying to memorize 15 people's name at once
-watching someone do a backflip off someone else's shoulders....
...etc.</p>
<p>oh yeah, and then we talked about Olin's academics. :P</p>
<p>I didn't get any sort of e-mail. My screen name is the same as this user name is anyone wants to talk (I'm Valarie from Ohio, used my senior picture for the slideshow, wore a realMYST nametag). My e-mail is <a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@gmail.com">firstname.lastname@gmail.com</a><a href="my%20last%20name%20is%20Johnson">/email</a>, if anybody is bored and wants to e-mail while I'm gone for this long weekend. I expect the contact list is empty because many of us didn't meet Mike (I actually met him, but he wouldn't take down my info at the time, and I never saw him again)...</p>
<p>For future reference, Ohioans--there have been a few Ohio Oliners get-togethers in past summers. They've organized a weekend at Cedar Point. Even a few non-Ohioans have come!</p>
