<p>i realllly do not feel like writing my paper on A River Runs Through It, so i'll procrastinate a bit longer and start a new thread. so i'll start w/ a question and the next person has to answer, then post thier own question!</p>
<p>wuts ur fave book? [mines the host/thousand splendid suns/nineteen minutes]</p>
<p>Harry Potter all the way. Not sure what this has to do with Pomona, though :P</p>
<p>Do you like tea?</p>
<p>Likewise, I’m procrastinating.
The Once and Future King by E.B. White, tied with For One More Day by Mitch Albom, and anything that Terry Brooks has written.</p>
<p>EDIT: Ooops, posted too late. I LOVE tea. Earl Grey and English Breakfast (AKA black haha).
If you could only bring one music album to Pomona (with no prospects of getting any new ones), which one would it be?</p>
<p>definitly hero – kirk franklin…this cd has gotten me thru soo much stuff its crayz</p>
<p>silliest thing u’ve ever done?</p>
<p>Ender’s Game / His Dark Materials.</p>
<p>Not a tea person, but chai is always good.</p>
<p>Bleh. Cargo – Men at Work, but there is no good answer to that question.</p>
<p>On a college theme, my application to Princeton included the word “f***.”
I’m still curious how that went over …</p>
<p>And an easier question - favorite color?</p>
<p>Yellow! And scarlet.</p>
<p>Sephirot - Haha! That’s rad. I applied to Princeton too, and my suppie essay was one of my favorites… oh well.</p>
<p>What do you think were the best and worst things about your Pomona app?</p>
<p>Up late, waiting for tomorrow’s mail haha, so I’ll play.</p>
<p>1-charizzle- so with you on the Harry Potter, but along with East of Eden, Looking for Alaska, His Dark Materials, hmm I feel like I’m forgetting one.
2-I’m a tea addict; I actually make tea each day and put it into water bottles and put them in the fridge. No sugar or anything, then I just have the cold tea throughout the day.
3-The music album is tough, but I think Say Anything is the only band I don’t seem to get bored of, so probably one of theirs.
4-I thought about the silly question for a while, and realized that theres way too many silly things I’ve done lol.
5-Color: green
6-Best thing was it being QuestBridge, worst were probably my stats(GPA, Test scores)</p>
<p>Lets put an intellectual twist on this: Are you a feather or a stone? (and why?)</p>
<p>hopeI’macepted – i can’t belive i forgot looking for alaska! i luv tht book! but anywhoo…</p>
<p>i’m a stone. i would say i’m grounded and solid, and usually just go w/ the flow [except for sometimes when i worry abt things i have zero control over, like the college apps i already turned in!].
but if i’m a stone, i’m a bright blue stone! they can’t all be gray, cuz that would be boring, right? :)</p>
<p>forgot my question! </p>
<p>[keeping w/ the intellectual/philosophical theme]</p>
<p>if you shout, and no one hears you, did u really shout?</p>
<p>Of course. I’m there to hear it.</p>
<p>What are you, milk or pepsi?
[I’m definitely milk]</p>
<p>Yes, you shouted, but,
No, nobody is coming to bring you toilet paper :(</p>
<p>Best thing on my app - I think I got some good letters of recommendation. And my stats can’t have hurt.
Worst - ECs were decent, but not fantastic by any means.</p>
<p>Stone. Carved, hopefully.</p>
<p>And … what homework are you using the internets to distract you from?
OR
What music/video/game etc. are you distracting yourself with?</p>
<p>I actually have this week off for ski week or something… but I could probably be working on my thesis. Blah.</p>
<p>I’m too lazy to answer the other questions right now… :p</p>
<p>When was the last time you got dressed up?</p>
<p>Hahhaa, I do have a large sum of work to complete over the break that I haven’t started. Alot to read in a mythology book, a huge grammar packet from Mr. Folks, infamous for the amount of work he gives. I also need to make copies of 2008 Tax Returns, probably do it tomorrow.
Oh, and lately I’ve been addicted to Nazi Zombies, which the only reason to have Call of Duty.
The last time I got dressed up was for a formal-themed party Thanksgiving weekend</p>
<p>When was the last time you played beer pong?</p>
<p>Haha, eons ago. I’m so dreadful at beer pong.</p>
<p>What colleges besides Pomona did you apply to?</p>
<p>ya’ll are on break? i have school tomorrow! wait, i guess thts today…
but yeah, i applied to washu in st louis, duke, emory, rice, and vandy</p>
<p>what’s the last movie that made u cry?</p>
<p>Okay after this I’m going to bed. There’s alot, since I got into QuestBridge I applied to 10 schools through there: Pomona, Amherst, Claremont McKenna, Bowdoin, Emory, Rice, Oberlin, Trinity(CT), Wesleyan, and Vassar.</p>
<p>Since none of them can be safe, I applied to other schools outside of it, and it got out of hand: Colby, Colgate, Colorado College, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Stony Brook, Kenyon, Skidmore, Trinity(San Antonio), Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. 20 schools. Whats more sad is that I just had to go on CommonApp to remember all of them :P</p>
<p>wait i thought questbridge was binding, and ppl at my school found out in jan. where their going</p>
<p>and u forgot to answer my question :0</p>
<p>Dressed up (grudgingly) for my Harvard interview.</p>
<p>King Kong made me cry :/</p>
<p>Never played beer pong; hot tubs are infi better.</p>
<p>Applied to way too many colleges - 23ish.</p>
<p>So who’s still awake? :)</p>
<p>You guys are no fun :(</p>
<p>Ah jk, jk</p>
<p>Well, the QB first college match round is binding if one of the schools accepts you for the full ride. Last year around 12% of finalists got in on the full ride, the rest (48%) get in applying through questbridge for regular decision/ed2.</p>
<p>sorry i didnt see it, last movie that made me cry? damn… hmm…
all that comes to mind is John Q? but i’m sure ive cried from a movie since, i just cant remember.</p>
<p>What do you think is the biggest favor youve ever done for someone?</p>
