<p>Just got my email-interview in two days-ugh! talk about short notice :) Any last minute advice, I am mock interviewing today with English teacher-wish me luck, I googled my interviewer and she is so intimidating-total success story! Oh for you girls out there-interview is at starbucks, should I wear nice jeans and nice blouse or slacks and nice blouse? Unsure about the jeans but it's starbucks!</p>
<p>Well, I'm going to wear a <em>very</em> nice blouse and dress it down with jeans. However, my panel has yet to contact me about the location, even though my interview is in three days. Hopefully they will soon, so I can decide what exactly to wear.</p>
<p>dammit
now i have work tomorrow night
so i'll be wearing: dirty smelly work pants, dirty smelly work shoes, and a nice clean collared shirt</p>
<p>good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Interview is in a week from today to the hour. Muy Excited.</p>
<p>I wore a gray sweatshirt and jeans.</p>
<p>It doesn't really matter. Don't come naked.</p>
<p>coming naked sounds like a good plan come to mention it</p>
<p>Or in green tights and a fanny pack.</p>
<p>Don't forget the hat and a quiver..... ALSO I don't care if you corrupt JK since my interview is before yours :-p. Oh how I can torment you. (But I wont since I'm a nice boy)</p>
<p>Tako:</p>
<p>PRAMA STINKS!!!</p>
<p>"he says he's not going to dinner just to prove a point - it's "semi-symbolic," apparently"
Wath a brazen date :-/</p>
<p>I found one of my interviewers' posts on a TASP forum, discussing TASP-related things. =O</p>
<p>Just imagine, if we get in, 10 years from now people will be finding our posts. It's the ciiiiiircle of liiiiiffeee....</p>
<p>Prama stinks indeed, giantredlobster.</p>
<p>I think he's going to dinner now...but we'll see. Silly date.</p>
<p>And I can totally see myself (if pigs fly and I make it into TASP) browsing the TASP thread when I have to do interviews and finding my people ;) Hehe.</p>
<p>24 hours of now it will be all be in the hands of.....*THE COMMITTEE *</p>
<p>agh
off to work anyway</p>
<p>My prama- (backround info- my friends bill and jane [not their real names] are going out yet i am like a mutual best friend. Oh they're seniors too. The setting is in front of a bunch of oscillators, computers, and circuit boards. =/ ) </p>
<p>Karen (Run to Bill and hug him)- OMG I'm so excited. (Turn to Jane) Our Billy is going to Princeton!!<br>
Jane- Yeah. Now we can truely have freedom in this school and use him to get away with anything. [Our principal] loves him now.<br>
Karen- completely, (adressing Bill) go order us Chinese food.<br>
Jane- Yeah! Oh and even more important, are you going to prom.
Karen- I guess. I mean, if you want me to and all.
Jane- Of course! ....so who're you gonna go with?<br>
Karen- Je ne sais pas
Bill- Huh?
Karen- I don't know.
Bill- oh well you want to go with me?
Karen (asking Jane)- aren't you going with him?
Jane- No.<br>
Karen (weird expression on face)- okay...(turn to Bill) sure i'll go with you.
Bill- Okay so that'll be $20 from me and $40 from you. (Karen gives him horrible look) Or $30 from both of us.<br>
Karen- Good.<br>
(Then they all walk out to go get Chinese food.) The end.</p>
<p>My prama: all girls' school.</p>
<p>TASP will be my prom! T<em>T (Or actually, the NYC spring social season...with my parents. Double T</em>T)</p>
<p>He was going to make you pay 40 bucks. Sheesh
Well actually it is worse for me. This junior asked me to Junior prom (no duh) But then I have to pay for the limo which costs 68$ a person. So Thats 136$ I have to spend on someone elses prom. Not to mention she is buying the bids at 70$ So in essence we are paying the same. Inherently I'm not a totally happy camper and the girl who is in charge of the limo (total control freak + stereotypical Saratoga rich girl) is all like, "Why are you so bitter its not like your paying that much. [the girl who asked me] is paying more than you."</p>
<p>Wow crazy juniors. Why must you burst my bubble of innocence.</p>
<hr>
<p>SO today we got our essays back in English and I got a 90/100. And this guy behind me was like, "How did you get picked for that black essay thing, with a 90 man."</p>
<p>Black essay thing ????? Whoa, rude-Most days I would kill for a 90! My teacher went to Harvard and is scary smart-I inevitably get an 88 on every assignment-2 hrs. work=88, 2 minutes of work=88, at least I am consistent</p>

<p>Hahaha that is one of the funniest things I have heard in a while. Thank you Corey. </p>
<p>AND OH MAN EIC DRAMA.</p>
<p>So. I was talking to my coeditor (of Centerspread - which requires lots of creativity + photoshop + indesign skills - I'm telling you this for a reason, just wait and see!) and you know, editor in chief came up.</p>
<p>So my and my best bud are basically like, we both need to get EIC, and we need to get it together. We're like, fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Anyway, he turns to her and says, yeah, ____, you're basically going to get EIC. </p>
<p>And of course, I'm all, uh what about me? Haha.</p>
<p>And he says, "Yeah, Jenny I think you totally deserve to get EIC. But I think you're going to be stuck in centerspread because there's nobody else who can do it."</p>
<p>And, mind you, I have thought many times about that. But have always dismissed it because I thought they wouldn't be unreasonable like that :(</p>
<p>So I was like, well...they wouldn't stick me in a LOWER rut and lose me in a HIGHER position, would they?</p>
<p>But apparently that's what they did last year with him...he was centerspread editor, applied for editor in chief, there was nobody else to do centerspread and so he lost to somebody else (who I believed he would have made a better editor over :/)</p>
<p>:( I feel like crying.</p>
<p>I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK IN A RUTT :(</p>
<p>OK, so let me get this right...Procastinate wants me to attend the interview naked accept for (TAK0) green tights, a fanny pack and a hat (Corey)-
Do you think that would improve my chances? lol
Well, my interviewer is interviewing 4 people before me, each with 1 1/2 hr. time slots-by the time I get there she won't really care what I have to say-did I mention my interview is at 8 p.m.</p>
<p>Nate-hope your interview went well</p>
<p>it's tommorow but thanks</p>
<p>and yeah, corey, i'm pulling a solid b in a non-honors english class, so obviously competence and grades aren't really related</p>
<p>also: one sign that dartmouth kids are back from spring break: driving home from work at 11, the fire department is all over town cleansing the streets of massive amounts of toilet paper, and of course I have to drive really slow cause retarded drunk people run all over the place, but that's normal >_<</p>
