<p>Oh I went out on a huge limb. The essay "Tell us about yourself in such a way that we will have a good sense of who you are" was a series of "I" statements. Sounds kind of lame, but I think it's good. At any rate, it'll be either a great or a horrible thing to do.</p>
<p>In case the description doesn't make sense:</p>
<p>I am a Rubik's Cube fanatic.
My best time for solving a Rubik's Cube is less than two minutes.</p>
<p>I am an atheist.</p>
<p>I am the anonymous editor of an satirical newspaper at my high school.</p>
<p>And so on.</p>
<p>Dang too many Rubik's Cube people!! I thought that was what was gonna make me unique... I have an unofficial world record for the thing (speed/blind)</p>
<p>haha, I talked about a rubik's cube too. so much for originality</p>
<p>Damn! Let me go back through...</p>
<p>Tell me you didn't talk about:</p>
<p> collecting foreign money
learning Korean words
faking report cards (in a good way)
quoting Seinfeld
designing your own language</p>
<p>Man, and I was so happy about the Rubik's cube thing...</p>
<p>Like around 10 seconds for fastest speed and a 1 minute 30 average blindfold solving speed. Guess Rubik's Cubes aren't so original after all :/</p>
<p>kane - mine was something like that too, except it was even less meaningful stuff, like "I love nerdy humor that others dont understand, and the part of school Im looking forward to most this year is going Chemistry Caroling the day before Winter Break. I love That 70s Show and my favorite newscaster is Tom Brokaw."</p>
<p>Wow, that's an incredible time, though. How do you do yours? I do them top to bottom (which is slower than a method that uses a corner as an empty spot for manuevering, but I never bothered to learn that method). I make a cross on the top, corner pieces, middle pieces, cross on the bottom, etc.</p>
<p>Well, regardless of whether they get us into Princeton or not, Rubik's Cubes are AWESOME.</p>
<p>"(which is slower than a method that uses a corner as an empty spot for manuevering, but I never bothered to learn that method). "</p>
<p>This is what I do, but you use all four corners as empty slots that you fill one by one. It's called the Fridrich method... it's pretty cool. You do the cross, fill in each corner-edge slot, then solve the last layer with two algs.</p>
<p>Rubik's Cubes ARE awesome :P</p>
<p>hehe nerdy
but cute!</p>
<p>Shhhhh they are not cute... they're AWESOME.</p>
<p>I was talking about you, not the cube ;)</p>
<p>Hmmm, yeah, alright :P</p>
