<p>Greetings.</p>
<p>[Voice = +8 Octaves]</p>
<p>I am a mere wanderer who seeks thy blessings, O' Spirits of Infinite Perception and Intelligence! Guide me, O' Wise Ones, to the Path of Righteousness, Courage, and Wisdom! The very Universe bends with your will, O' Great Ones! Praise da' lawd! </p>
<p>[/Voice]</p>
<p>Now that I have sufficiently intoxicated you with a healthy dose of ridiculously melodramatic exaltation, reading the next million words of this post shouldn't be too difficult. </p>
<p>I won't say that "MIT has been my dream for as long as I can remember", because I unfortunately have both short and long term memory loss. So, perhaps MIT has been my dream for many years. Or, maybe my childhood dream was Emory University's Yerkes Primate Research Center. I do not know. I would flourish at both institutions. I would appreciate any and all advice that you have for me. </p>
<p>Whenever I envision myself at college, I am at MIT, strolling through the Infinite Corridor, amongst you Spirits of Infinite Wisdom. </p>

[li]Programming: C\C++ and Python. I am part of a group of game programmers that I started up along with some of my friends. We program games in Python using PyGame. I would post the URL, but the website is ghetto, so I won't until the website looks better :D [I will post the URL if you wish]. [/li][</em>]President of Science Club.
[<em>]Secretary of Debate Club (I are t3h 1337 in d3b4t3).
[</em>]Lead Designer\Planning (I come with the ideas, sketch the pieces that we will work on) of National Art Honors Society.
[<em>]Poetry - I write many, many poems on very random topics. I do especially well with descriptive (haiku) and narrative poetry.
[</em>]Drawing? Art? Something? - In my free time, I draw science-fiction, portraits, and mathematically-modeled abstract art.
[<em>]Physics - I read almost every single book about theoretical physics\cosmology\astrophysics\quantum mechanics that I can get my hands on. Mathematics and Cosmo\Quantum [I believe I have made my point.] Physics are the two subjects that I am most passionate about.
[</em>]Robotics - Our school doesn't have a robotics team, but I have many sketches for possible robot designs. I was inspired by a slinky that I got in goody bag after a birthday party. :D The school that I'll be attending next year has an amazing FIRST Robotics Team [They placed first nationally in some competition, the details of which I am unaware of [I am assuming it was the FIRST Robotics Competition], but it was a $50,000 robot.]

<p>I am applying to ROSS, HCSSiM, and MathCamp for the summer.</p>
<p>*A bit brief, but I can explain my interests in much greater detail if you wish.</p>

<p>Anyway, I fear that I have become quite redundant verbose, and thus, I shall give you all what you really came here for: Here</a> is your cookie.</p>
