<p>Teachers be tripping: “And Wikipedia cannot be a source.” OH please I get more correct information in a shorter period of time on Wiki then I could if you randomly decide to research other sources.</p>
<p>Yeah my favorite teacher just happens to be the only one who accepts it as a valid source</p>
<p>-------------------------------------------If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>
<p>You can’t cite Wikipedia… but you can cite the sources at the bottom of Wikipedia!</p>
<p>Also, just finished my homework. #Junioryearproblems</p>
<p>^ Touche. I once got ten points off a research paper for citing Wikipedia. </p>
<p>How can you people LIKE math? Is it even possible to LIKE math?
(Yesterday, I fell asleep on my math textbook…and I had nightmare about my grade in AP Statistics.)</p>
<p>On a side note, I can’t believe I’m getting on CC at the school library. I’m such a nerd.
(That, and my parents have banned me from using the internet at home. Gahhhh.)</p>
<p>Haha, I normally do citations last and I agree with dfree…using Wiki’s cites! That way you aren’t really making them up. </p>
<p>I think liking math is sorta dependent on the teacher…the last few years I had an awful b**** of one, but this year I lucked uot and got a really chill teacher who makes learning math fun! </p>
<p>I’m worse, I’m on CC during class :-o. Though we’re not really doing anything, but whatever. </p>
<p>Catchtwentythree, how do your parents expect you to do hw/papers without the internet? My mom tried doing that in freshman year but gave up when it became obvious that it wouldn’t work.</p>
<p>My math class is the shizz. I don’t really enjoy math, but I’d rather integrate or differentiate a few functions than write an essay any day.</p>
<p>^ I’m with you, dfree. Most essays are not fun to write. Unless it has an interesting prompt, I really don’t want anything to do with it.</p>
<p>On a separate note, I just received my acceptance to Summer@Brown! No word on the status of the scholarship, though. We’ll see how that turns out.</p>
<p>Congrats! I’ve heard that it’s awesome!</p>
<p>I’ve heard the same! Have you considered applying?</p>
<p>Considered, yes, but I won’t apply. My parents will never pay for anything that expensive, cause I don’t qualify for FA, and I doubt I would get any scholarship money.</p>
<p>What about some other summer programs/internships? Internships are usually free.</p>
<p>Yea I plan on interning and going to a week long economics course either at Cornell or Babson.</p>
<p>Check out if there are any government organizations offering youth internships. Here in Illinois, we have the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (AKA: Fermilab, run by the US Dept. of Energy) offer heuristic internships for high schoolers, and there’s usually something equivalent in most states. They’re <em>always</em> free and usually offer a pretty stipend to boot.</p>
<p>Thanks anaychi, I might check that out, but my guidance counselor (who is also my tennis coach) got a few kids into some pretty good internships in businesses like consulting firms and stuff like that in years past, so he thinks he can get me something worthwhile.</p>
<p>Bump!!!</p>
<p>Congratulations, Studious!</p>
<p>Catch, math is great. I’d rather do problem set after problem set than analyze some post modern, feminist work.</p>
<p>Thanks, smorgasbord. And I’m completely with you–I actually enjoy doing problem sets.</p>
<p>I think I’m the only one here that fully appreciates both. The two both stimulate my brain in different, yet satisfactory ways. Math problem sets get me going in a frenzy of process and raw streams thought, while analyzation of literature/philosophy puts me in higher state of mind than my norm. I truly enjoy how they both do that.</p>
<p>Anay, it’s not that you’re the only one who appreciates both–I appreciate good literature as much as the next guy. I’m saying that I enjoy doing problem sets more. While I find pleasure in reading an occasional classic, I spend the bulk of my time concentrating on math and science. That’s how it is for most people. They settle into a few areas that interest them the most. Though, I must say, it’s cool that you like both equally. I don’t think there are many people that can say that.</p>
<p>I’m a pretty much everything but math type of person. I don’t have a problem enduring the math brought up in Chemistry and Bio (I especially like Bio) However, I have yet to take physics. I find any type of history interesting, and love discussions in those classes. English I love, well, because I love anything where I get to write, or analyze others’ writing. I love Spanish, just something about conversing with other people in a language other than your own. And I get to write a lot in Spanish too, so just more writing, haha. But then there’s math. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed doing a math problem of any kind.</p>
<p>Congrats on getting into summer@brown, studious! I’m thinking about applying there.</p>
