<p>wow.. that's cool.. i'm kind of a nerd physically in that i am athletically challenged.. and so i ran cross country for 4 years for better lack of balance and coordenation</p>
<p>I ran in middle school and rather enjoyed it. It is the physical activity that seems to come most naturally to all of us.</p>
<p>I recommend swing dance/lindy if you come here. I currently am involved in it, and it lets me dance without being stringent, the way ballet is.</p>
<p>What is Cross Country?</p>
<p>cross country is long distance running, (3 mile races only)</p>
<p>bailey1116: Go to China for the summer and take classes there. It is cheaper. As I mentioned above, that is what my S did the summer prior to his senior year.</p>
<p>i dont think thats its the physical act of GOING to the summer camp, as it is getting a letter of RECOMMENDATION < Thats the key, asking your UofC professor to put a couple of sentences down on UofC stationary...</p>
<p>I received a rec from the prof of the course I took, as well as one from one of the TAs. I was accepted, but I think my grade in the course and the fact that I was taking a not-too-common course helped as well.</p>
<p>what courses were you taking?</p>
