First MIT essay: what did you guys write about?

<p>“My favorite sites are…”</p>

<p>I am totally on Ravelry. Same name there as here. :)</p>

<p>I just finished a cardigan (my first steeked piece!), and I’m finishing the socks and trying to make a pair of mittens for myself before it gets cold here. (Poor knitter, gives all her mittens away and has no mittens left for herself…) I’m also getting ready to start a sweater for my collaborator in the lab – I promised him that if he joined the lab, I’d make him a sweater, and he picked a sport-weight stockinette sweater… it’s going to take forever. But at least I get to buy nice yarn for it.</p>

<p>@molliebatmit: Awesome! I will add you. I’m VALiant on there. :slight_smile:
Oooo… steeks are scary. I haven’t had a chance to try those yet. Haha, that’s an interesting way to get someone to join you in your research. :stuck_out_tongue: It works, though. There’s nothing like hand-knitted garments. So comfy and thoughtful!</p>

<p>wow! skateboarding and swing dancing, that’s awesome. i wrote about speedcubing.</p>

<p>@BuddyMcAwesome</p>

<p>That’s bizarre that you guessed my essay! I think MIT will really appreciate my use of sensory details, as I’m trying to demonstrate that I’m more than just a lab-geek science guy…</p>

<p>Um…I wrote about photography :)</p>

<p>I explained how I volunteer at a local food bank, read stories to orphans, and walk old ladies across busy streets. Oh, and playing D&D.</p>

<p>I wrote about how I sing in the shower. :stuck_out_tongue: And in other random locales.</p>

<p>Reading history books :)</p>

<p>@Old College Try: Awesome! I just joined my school’s D&D club this year, so I’m really not that good, but I am improving. :)</p>

<p>I wrote about having sex with chess.</p>

<p>I wrote about photography too :)</p>

<p>What programs/departments did you guys write for the second question?</p>

<p>I had two written, one about pingpong and one about stargazing.</p>

<p>I chose the stargazing one because I’ve been doing that ever since I was born lol</p>

<p>I wrote about walking my dog :)</p>

<p>I wrote about course 9 for the 2nd short answer :)</p>

<p>i wrote about shopping. LOL.</p>

<p>i feel like this is lame. and that theyll be like *** this has no value whatsoever, you are materialistic blahblahblah automatic REJECT!</p>

<p>1 - Basketball
2- Nuclear Engineering/Applied Physics</p>

<p>That’s all I’ve done so far.</p>

<p>I wrote about teaching maths, which is true, but I’m a bit afraid I’ll sound too nerdy. Any opinions? I still have time to change it.</p>

<p>There’s only one math in America. If you say maths, people will look at you funny.</p>

<p>eating children!!!</p>

<p>i wrote disc jockeying:(. ges i might have passed a negative picture, don’t you think?</p>
