<p>What's everyone's summer plans for you Cornell '09ers?</p>
<p>I'm going to World Championships for Taekwondo as soon as school gets out, chillin' in Princeton for a week, and then heading up to the beach house in Marthas Vinyard to work at a summer camp until Mid-August. Then home for a week to pack and say goodbye to my old ivy league town, and then on the 19th...</p>
<p>Working as a caddy at one of the local golf courses, golfing all week, partying at my cottage in the 1000 islands on the weekends, and hitting up Nantucket for a week in August. It's going to be much better than my last summer (research/football workouts/coaching tball every day).</p>
<p>not sure yet.</p>
<p>Anybody doing NASA SHARP?</p>
<p>Probably nothing. That's always fun.</p>
<p>Im going back to China, where my relatives will spoil me. It's gonna be twice as bad this year cos they know I got into Cornell. There won't be enough space to bring back all my presents. haha</p>
<p>Damn I want relatives in china to give me presents...Well, my aunt did double my bday check but she's not in china! or even chinatown! then again, we're not azn. =D</p>
<p>I'll definitely be working at my multiple jobs to come up with my expected summer contribution for Cornell financial aid.. woohoo... But aside from that I'll be going down the shore a lot and just partying it up with friends. I'm trying to get a trip to Italy as my graduation present, but I doubt that's going to happen. LOL</p>
<p>I was thinking of NASA SHARP....definitely applying; hopefully, I can get some pay (even if it is minimum wage) but more importantly, resume padding.</p>
<p>ugh, i need to find a job soon. I'm going to be in China for the entire summer, so I can't possibly come up with my summer contribution. poopie...</p>
<p>Don't worry, I hear they just readjust everything if you don't meet the expected payment. And maybe some of your relatives in China will give you cash to help out! :)</p>
<p>I'll be in our house in Vermont for a week or two, work tutoring or elsewhere probably, and just relax and chill with friends mostly. I'll be in Israel for a few weeks too probably, but I'm not sure if i want to go. If i have the time, I may even be at cornell for a few weeks, maybe take a course or something (though my parents are against it)....everything is still a matter of debate.</p>
<p>By the way, what exactly is the NASA SHARP thing? I've never heard of it...and i hear about most elitist programs...</p>
<p>i am the only partying it up with friends before we all depart our separate ways?</p>
<p>No, everyone is...but I don't plan to spend the ENTIRE summer partying and lounging around...</p>
<p>lol then i guess i am the only one....</p>
<p>I'll be partying too!!! When I don't have to work. :( (See above post.)</p>
<p>I'm going to Italy for my graduation present. I'll come back to my difficult job as a lifeguard (getting paid to eat ice cream, sun bathe, and swim). I WILL have to work hard at swim practice before joining the Cornell team....but then it's off to a week of partying at the beach house with friends to say my final goodbyes!</p>
<p>And in August, I get to meet all you cool people!!</p>
<p>the 19th baby! Yeah whats NASA SHARP?</p>
<p>AJKates: rock on jew. Maybe there'll be some semblance of peace in Israel by the time of your vacation. Thats sort of unimaginable though...</p>
<p>NASA SHARP: Basically, I spent last summer working full-time with NASA scientists at the NASA center in NYC doing cutting-edge research and getting paid for it. It was great. I do think its pretty elite because there are very few people accepted nationwide although I don't know how many apply.
But I also got to write a killer college essay about it :-)</p>
<p>NASA SHARP sounds so awesome. Even though I have no interest in the sciences whatsoever, it sounds like a dream internship for any future engineer! :)</p>
