Research Science Institute ( RSI ) 2008

<p>I got my postcard today :slight_smile:
Haha, it made me laugh when I saw it again, because it was an American Girl postcard, and I wrote a note on it to myself telling myself to calm down.</p>

<p>if results come the same time as last year…
exactly one more month!</p>

<p>bahhh stop making us nervous :stuck_out_tongue:
anticipation index: 67</p>

<p>There’s roughly twice as long left to wait as we’ve already waited…that dream about getting in (rather displeased when I woke up) puts me at anticipation index=74, an all time high. Yar!</p>

<p>… but… i had RSI related dream too! only that the letter i opened… sigh* anticipation index = 38</p>

<p>Actually, MITdude, you could probably still apply to SSP. The first deadline has past, but the second one is sometime in March, I think. If you’re looking for more options- best summer ever. Period. Anyway! That Chandra thing sounds really interesting… And don’t discount your application so soon. I was doing mine the Tuesday before the Friday deadline at 5 in the morning because it took so long to narrow down my questions- so I’m not sure that mine was even in coherent English. o_O </p>

<p>Anticipation index= ugh, I’m getting nervous just thinking about it.</p>

<p>lol i will, i was planning to apply to SSP… it’s my ā€œsafetyā€ summer program xD. I think im good enough for it… I spent dang much time on my apps… hope it pays off haha. Chandra is interesting! it’s fun and… u can go get good chinese food for 4-5 bucks during lunch everyday during the summer session! =D go general gao chicken!! xD</p>

<p>you know what’s funny? all my friends at school are like ā€œwhat? summer? i haven’t planned past saturday! i’m too busy scoping out bob over thereā€¦ā€ and i’m standing there thinking about the 21st. </p>

<p>Are your guys’s friends like that as well?</p>

<p>Yes! They’re evenly split between freaking out about prom and freaking out about grades on incredibly minor assignments. Like hello…watch a cloud go by people. Find something you care about it and do it! So many people at my school are just obnoxious little automatons playing the gpa game. I went to a park near my house to watch the eclipse the other night, and like 80% of the people I asked said they couldn’t go because they had to do homework. Total lunar eclipse>>busywork…</p>

<p>Pardon the rant.</p>

<p>ahaha, i tried to see it, but couldn’t find it ><… i was doing my hw too! xD and worrying about minor assignments…</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>i feel noob.</p>

<p>wow the eclipse WAS amazing!
It was sorta cloudy in my area so it was hard to see at first.</p>

<p>HAHA MITdude you nerd! =p</p>

<p>DUde prom is so ridiculous. there are always people whining about dates and at prom, whining about the venue/food/dj/photographer alksjdlk
yeah sorry had to rant about that too. haha</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>and after the blowage of PSATs and SATs… doubt parents would let me go ><</p>

<p>Go pure math/number theory!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>woot! number theory rocks!!!</p>

<p>Hey MITdude, I kind of have the same problem for prom too, being a math nerd is tough…</p>

<p>ahh xD hahaha, but i dun like anyone rite now anyways, so… no point xD (zomg better to play SC2? xD)</p>

<p>Ha, so for math and science nerds like us… which is harder, getting into RSI or getting a date to prom? Both are pretty selective. :P</p>

<p>hehehe, at least u dun have to come up with research questions for prom… and get them approved… or thrown out by little old lady as she laughes ā€œHAHAHAā€.</p>

<p>Heh, why not ask the little old lady to prom? :stuck_out_tongue: I’m sure you could come up with an appropriate pick-up line.</p>

<p>ā€œIf I were any enzyme, I would be DNA helicase so that I could unzip your genes.ā€</p>

<p>ā€œIf you were the line y=x^2, I would be the line y=2x so I could lie tangent to your curves.ā€</p>

<p>ā€œHey baby, I’m really attracted to you… with a force directly proportional to the product of our masses and inversely proportional to the distance between us.ā€</p>

<p>hahahaaa
i love the one where its like</p>

<p>"hey baby, can i be your integral, so I can be the area under your curves?</p>
