<p>ROAM I LOVE YOU!!! (Ahh Michigan for life) The plan is: We both go to Mich and you bake :-P I mean Black Bottom Chiffon status....I wonder if they have a hoagie haven in Ann Arbor XD</p>
<p>Im disgusted right now. Im in the library right now because its raining and i'm waiting for my DTF meeting and there are these two girls sitting next to me checking their grades online. Direct quotes:
"OMG you have an A+ in math how do you have that--Random chinese comment--wait thats not fair 97% and an A+ I need a 98 to get an A+ in Troxell"
"WAIT WHAT...WHA--OMG yes Mr. Kucer curved the chem test to 28. So I got like a (grabs calculator out of bag) a 107%...High five tiff."
(Later while checking Email) "you have some chinese stuff in there...Do you prefer Chinese?" --"Well not really, but yea I guess"
"Isnt that like a pornstar?" (I missed the context of that one but rather humorus.
Wow no comment.
(im such a nose-y neighbor :-/)</p>
<hr>
<p>So I wrote this poem in english in response to "All Quiet on the Western Front" and turns out it was posted in the auditorium for this Choir performance-- The Armed Man (?) which is about war. And this woman was so moved by my poem (Mind you I thought it was chessy trite and written fast) that she wanted a copy of it for --quote "Personal Use". GAWD Corey the prolific writer that encapsulates the emotions of war into 15 lines.
SO DEEP--Like a Glacial rift.</p>
<p>Wow I feel like a total dunce too.
SO apparently I am the center of all this Prama (Prom Drama of course)</p>
<p>So The girl who asked me was trying to keep it a secret so nobody knew. But this other girl was going to ask me and she told one of her good friends (Who knew the other girl asked me) So now that girl is mad cause she cant ask me. And that has started this giant tsunami of Dating dilemma for all these girls who now are shifting dates and yada-yada. All I know is that, it is all my fault. XD I love having so much power JP JP</p>
<p>I love drama. Usually (or maybe especially) when it's not my drama. XD G'luck with that prama (I lol'd). The weather's way nice here. It's finally cooperating for a change. :D</p>
<p>A pretty hot one too, if I may say so myself ;)</p>
<p>Hehe. I'm strange online. Honestly, recently I've totally been into guys for no reason whatsoever. It's like, wow THAT guy's hot! And wow that's a real cutie :)</p>
<p>TAKO! Chuck Palahniuk! Survivor = about the Creedish cult and the new media messiah and ASFMAS:OFasfg. I love Chuck. <3</p>
<p>haha shut the eff up was censored! Silly wabbit. Trix are for kids.</p>
<p>Anyway. There are some coolio videos on YouTube; they feature yours truly, but also one of my best friends, her sis, and her mom. Viva la TASP network! She came to Puerto Rico for spring break and we're hangin' out. :) I'm musechick2007 on there. I'm in the process of uploading all the stufflees, so check back later, mmkay? So you can see PR. ^_^ </p>
<p>And ho ho HO, guess who gets to be an interviewer on a panel? </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Haha, roam, "cohesive" was one of our buzzwords. Well, 30+ people is good because you have more diversity and a greater chance of finding people that will rock your world. Personally, I loved people in both seminars, and I really would've hated to NOT meet some of the Cornell I people. Plus, that way, you get to learn about two different topics (you discuss in the hallways, you share, etc etc) and have cool idea exchanges. Cohesion-factor...Hm. The whole group will never be as cohesive as a smaller group, because you ALWAYS branch off and divide, but I just think it's better to have more choices available. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>LMAO, Corey and his prama. Awesome. Tsk, tsk. Life's hard for a pimp.</p>
<p>Okay, SO, Grace and I will call you...the next time we get together. Thursday. Okay? <3</p>
<p>Tako- I've been the same exact way recently!! Its kinda odd too cause I never looked at guys like that before. I usually cared more about their personality and ****. I went from being really deep to really shallow. Whatever its a change and change is normally good.</p>
<p>I've been looking up old friends on Facebook and those guys are hotties :) I wish I still lived in Canada...though if I had, I'm sure I would have never heard of TASP and never met you guys!</p>

<p>Good News of the Day:
MIT looks to reach an epic milestone soon: By the end of the year, its entire curriculum should be available online for free. Scholars and amateurs are coming in droves; this month, the site could receive 1.5 million visits. "It's exceeded our expectations," said Anne Margulies, head of MIT’s online curriculum program, OpenCourseWare. MIT began putting courses online in 2001; more than 1,500 are already available, and all of its 1,800 courses should be posted by the end of this year. So far, the most popular online course has been an introduction to electrical engineering, Margulies said, but visitors to the site can also school themselves on such subjects as cell-matrix mechanics, holographic imaging, hip-hop, and "How to Make (Almost) Anything."</p>
<p>hmm will having a late interview hurt me in anyway? My interview is probably going to be held sometime along the lies of April 9th - 14th...Should I try and schedule an earlier one?</p>
<p>best of luck to all those going to theirs soon :)</p>
<p>Oh yes it totally decimates your chances :-/</p>
<p>No dude its chill. by no way would you be penalized because of TA's inability to schedule an earlier interview. PLUS a lot of ppl are having their interviews within a week around yours. No worries man.</p>
<p>Don't die now, Corey, or become possessed or anything like that. TASS doesn't like dead people or devils (or maybe they do...hmmm. I guess you'd be pretty unique that way, you know, add "diversity".)</p>
<p>I guess this post has lost its meaning since it's impossible to decipher what exactly those TA people are thinking.</p>
<p>On the bright side, I'm typing this on my new laptop <3333 I named it Thoreau :D after you know, that weirdo transcendentalist person who had nothing better to do than watch honeycoming ice. Lit has taken over my life! I named my Ipod Caleb 1. because I really like that name, and 2. because it's a character in East of Eden! I've just started reading about him...hehe.</p>
<p>My old computer sucked, it froze like every 10 minutes so this is HECKA exciting. It's my grad present, so I guess I don't get a present next year, but oh well! :)</p>
<p>i have mine on the 15th, ken, so don't worry. </p>
<p>oh, a related question: do you think that with 18 kids, there is less exclusion and the whole entire group = the experience of tasp, whereas with 30something people, you bridge off into little groups and individual people make up the experience?</p>
<p>Yay for new lappytops! I'm waiting to get mine...I will add an external drive or something to make it uber memory-powerful-esque. If I go to Swarthmore and get the Philip Evans Scholarship, I have $1,500 to buy a laptop. If not, my parents are going to get it for me. woo!</p>
<p>Hm. With 30something people, the factota tried to keep up bonding and try to discourage the formation of little factions, though we inevitably did so anyway. We got along with pretty much everyone, though. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>With 16 kids...I dunno! Other TASPers, help me out here! :P</p>
<p>I'm glad we had the two seminars, like I said. There were some kids from Cornell II that I "replaced" with kids from Cornell I to give me a better experience. Plus, more people = more fun and more drama. XD</p>
