MITES 2011 Information & Discussion

<p>yes. here are all of my breaks: (everything has weekends included)</p>

<p>thanksgiving in nov approx 5 days
holiday in dec approx 11 days
winter in feb approx 9 days
spring in april approx 9 days
summer approx 9 weeks.</p>

<p>@CPU WOW. How is xmas prejudiced? It seems as if most of the people there would be celebrating it. </p>

<p>@JMC It’s crazy. They don’t have salt trucks down here so the smallest amount of ice paralyzes the city. I can’t wait to get back to the north. The first time it snows while I’m in college, I will be late to my first class because I’m making a snowman :D</p>

<p>Why can’t it snow…ever?..I live in Southern California, so there’s never any snow here :(</p>

<p>whatever- there are many different faiths here. and even if there wasn’t, it’s still prejudiced. if you call it xmas break… does that mean that those who dont celebrate xmas have to come to school? it’s easier to say holiday because there are many denominational holidays in dec (kwaanza, xmas, man i forgot the jewish one lol how could i)</p>

<p>Hanukkah? lol. I guess that makes sense, but part of me thinks it’s overly PC. I can’t really see it from another faith’s perspective, though.</p>

<p>CPU–NO FAIRRRRRR!!!
whateverhappens–i love the snow but i hate the fact that it’s cold and i also hate driving in it. i got in an accident today :o luckily i wasn’t driving. but we slipped on ice as we were changing lanes, did a 270 and ended up sideways blocking the right lane, so a minivan smashed into the driver’s side. it was so scary!! the whole “look to the side and see headlights of doom” cliche thing. but all is well, except for the cars lol. the people in the other car were soooo nice about it and so was the state highway patrol guy. the tow truck driver was a tad creepy though. ah well. c’est la vie. they’re called accidents for a reason.</p>

<p>@JMC I used to tire of the snow. But I can handle it better than the 108 degree days they get down here. It was about 75 today, in February!! So unnatural. I guess that would seem normal to someone from the south or Cali, though.</p>

<p>also, i agree that it should be “winter” (or in your case “holiday” :stuck_out_tongue: lucky duck) break, as opposed to christmas break</p>

<p>LOLOLOLOLOL
hahha @CPUSCIENTIST: “turn-ons” — lets be mature here. what are YOU thinking :p</p>

<p>hmmmm…
interests: physics, SPACE OMG, math, socials, history, HON/Starcraft2 (kekekekeke)
major: computer science/finance/astrophysics - minor in forensics/how-to-tell-if-somebody-is-lying
hobbies: reading, sleeping, eating, talking to friends, studying interesting things, tests (for some reason i like the stress of tests - i think im weird)
music: ok… spacebound by eminmen, everything by jay chou, big bang, just can’t get enough by b.e.p., best i ever had, dubstep, songs with cool beats basically</p>

<p>i also for some reason really like watching scary movies, even though i cover my eyes for over 80% of the movie… has anyone here seen the trailer for grave encounters? i always chicken out… BTW, BATTLE:LA IS COMING OUT SOON.</p>

<p>note: HOW COULD YOU GUYS DISLIKE SNOW!?!?!?!?!?!
forgive me for being inane.
but snow is the greatest invention of all time =)</p>

<p>heheheh… you guys should visit vancity sometime (BC, CANADA). we have the awesomest mountains in the WORLD :P</p>

<p>@cw I see some validity in JamaicanMehCrazy’s dislike of snow. Just a few years ago, I would have hated it around this time of year. It tends to lose it’s magic after you’ve seen mountains of it for months. I love it now.</p>

<p>mhmmm. thats truee though.
the crappy thing: i havent had a snow day in ages. i like snow because our school allows a grad vs. school snowball fight =) its so awesome.
snowboard or ski?</p>

<p>100 posts!!!</p>

<p>Wait, it’s 101 now. Apcray!</p>

<p>Cw- just wanted to cover my bases (:</p>

<p>@CPUscientists: hehehehe “bases” – be mature =) hahah yeah i totally understand.
when you get to 100 posts dont you become a jr. member? :open_mouth: im almost there =)</p>

<p>I don’t think so. You’re a jr. member now :P</p>

<p>i also hate the winter cause running in the cold and snow sucks!! same for the blistering summer sun too. that’s why fall and spring are perfect (: but i’m gonna need a running/workout buddy for WHEN we get accepted to MITES. who’s up for it?!?! :D</p>

<p>OMGGGG IM JR MEMBER
celebration :p</p>

<p>errrrrrrrr. im not very jacked. sorry im gonna have to pass
does anyone here play ultimate?</p>

<p>ATTENTION EVERYONE:</p>

<p>My good friend Marinebiosax will be joining us. She is not applying to MITES, and the summer program she is applying to (and we all hope she gets in) has a thread, but it’s dead right now. </p>

<p>Without further adieu, I present you, Marinebiosax!</p>

<p>@JMC I’m all working out. Trying to break the skinny nerd image :). You should visit TX around July. Nothing in OH could compare to this kind of heat. lol</p>

<p>EDIT: all FOR working out. CC kills my proper English skills</p>
