<p>Arthur, now that you mention it, I talked a LOT about the plot of my story, too. Crap, I didn't realize it at the time.</p>
<p>I like my haiku, too :D ...now I'll update the situation:</p>
<p>Studied chem for hours
Even so, I don't know shhit.
But it's too late now.</p>
<p>or, if you prefer...</p>
<p>It's one in the morning.
Why the hell am I still up?
Monday mornings suck.</p>
<p>I hate sunday nights
I'm Studying Japanese
Get me to bed now</p>
<p>Ugh Studying japanese has given me no extra respect for haikus.</p>
<p>Basically in Japan not only are there 3 languages there are 3 forms you can write most words in. tomorrow i need to know</p>
<p>60 verbs and their pictoral representations plus how to put them in "dictionary form" so i can then put them into "TE form" A.K.A a bia'</p>
<p>basically a **<strong><em>. Not to mention I have a Chem quiz on Enthalpy and *</em></strong>. Right now I apologize for the Exothermicies of my rant as my anger spreads to you</p>
<p>Good Luck to all.</p>
<p>^ Ahahahhaha.</p>
<p>Makes me remember back to my Japanese school days. Even in Japan, I only knew 1.5/3 forms, one because it's easy and had an alphabet, half of one because I'm Chinese and knew the characters. Don't worry too much. Not even the Japanese always know the entirety of the language. =]</p>
<p>Thermodynamics is just straight plugging-in to equations, right?</p>
<p>I have one.</p>
<p>Oh, Virginia Woolf?
The essay is due Monday.
Yes, that means today.</p>
<p>And I totally agree with the Japanese stuff. Kanji was invented to drive gaijin crazy. For some consolation, the average Japanese person can't read calligraphy either. So woo.</p>
<p>Sometjhing I'm REALLY worried about:
When I was writing my essays I chose different fonts for different ones, because it helps me get into the tone I'm looking for, and because it was an option. I didn't think about it until mailing time, when my mom lectured me on professionalism. (12 point Times New Roman, young lady!)
Now my concern is that they'll think I'm an unabashed plagiarizer who didn't bother to change fonts, rather than just someone who likes creative formatting.</p>
<p>iriseyes, I love your haiku.</p>
<p>LindeeK, I wouldn't worry about it. If anything, the variety might wake up a soporific Telluride employee.</p>
<p>My chem test today was really annoying. Ugh. But I got a good grade on last week's math test :)</p>
<p>I have no idea why I'm updating you guys on all this ^_^</p>
<p>Lauren.... Yeah exact opposite. My chem test was pretty easy. But I got a 13/20 on my math quiz :-(</p>
<p>Iris....Hate to break your bubble but thats not a haiku. The last 2 lines rhyme. :-P</p>
<p>Lyndeek I think your alright. Was it like random lines were in different fonts. Or just entire essays??? YOu should have esembled your essays out of newspaper clippings :-P</p>
<p>Taggart. Yea thats the best part. Like when do ppl in Japan actually use the Dictionary Form you cant use them in conversation (Annoying)</p>
<p>ahh haikus... when we were studying for our physics final, we all had to briefly summarize major concepts (like newton's 3 laws, projectile motion, etc.), and i was really bored with people stating the obvious, so i summarized everything in haiku form. :D</p>
<p>um...well i gotta say, i'm chinese, but i definitely don't know how to write anything in chinese, and i only know how to speak a tiny bit in mandarin. i'm more fluent in a certain dialect, but it's one of those minor urban dialects spoken only by the residents of one city. :(</p>
<p>ps to lindeek - i agree with what others are saying. i doubt the TASP employees will read so much into it. after all, it's just another outward manifestation of your inner individualism and creativity. plus it's really cool. :)</p>
<p>ah, i hate times new roman, size 12! hate it hate it! (aida knows this well, lmao.) i mean, aesthetics are important.</p>
<p>Roamorse, you too were inspired by an overripe melon? Fascinating! I am very curious. Meanwhile, let us exchange essays! haha. :)</p>
<p>I despise Times New Roman (it is such a standardized font), but sadly I use it pretty much all the time...Ah, well.</p>
<p>I like Times. I prefer Garamond, though...just some residue of my first experiences with the internets.</p>
<p>Hm, maybe it's not a haiku. Well, here's another, then:</p>
<p>Essay due at three
Grammar is still incorrect
Yay, late deduction.</p>
<p>=P</p>
<p>Times on the computer looks ugly. Times on print, however, looks better. Though I would still prefer Tahoma, or Trebuchet.</p>
<p>hahahaha, no, no melon involved. it was about crossing of cultures/ideology of living in one place as opposed to somewhere else/childhood/reconcile.</p>
<p>My goodness, I am so sluggish! I could/should be studying APUSH right now, but my heart's just not in it...sigh. One of these days I will regain my schoolwork momentum (hopefully soon).</p>
<p>Oh roamorse.</p>
<p>What happened to restricting yourself? =P</p>
<p>Hahaha yeah roamorse you said you were going to get off of CC for awhile. XD</p>
<p>shhhhhhhh.</p>
<p>way to remind me about my utter lack of will power. [hides in shame]</p>
<p>Yeah, speaking of which...I'm going to restrict myself on CC too. My photo homework has been insane lately (30 proofs in two days? WHAT?!) and now that we're doing vectors in precal I need to pay attention, lol. My physics training keeps getting in the way. ("But friction is acting on the box too...")</p>
