<p>Psh, don't be a playa-hata, Chaotic! :P I almost picked the UT seminar, hehe. I didn't, because I didn't really understand what the heck it was about. Well, how it was going to work, anyway. Blah. I would've loved UT, too; the people are so damn friendly and like the ones at my TASP. BUT I LOVE CORNELL! haha. </p>
<p>Wendy08, have another person who has my essays PM them to you, like sidjenks or roamorse, whatever. ^_^</p>
<p>OH KIDS. Haha, god, I'm still working on apps. At the last minute, I decided I wanted to write a new essay and not reuse one, so I'm writing my big Brown essay right now and it's, uh, due tonight. XD Procrastinator Aida never changes. Screw the new year. :P I still have UChicago to worry about...and then there's Swat, but that's for Jan 19, so all's good.</p>
<p>Blah. </p>
<p>Thanks for the good luck wishes, ^^.</p>
<p>Yes! Someone should compile a list... or just... start posting with your preferences, copy/pasting whatever the previous person said. If that made any sense. Fah. I'm going mildly crazy here.</p>
<ol>
<li>michigan</li>
<li>st. louis</li>
<li>cornell II</li>
<li>austin</li>
<li>cornell I</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li> UM (oops I'm an OSU fan!)</li>
<li> Cornell I</li>
<li> UT</li>
<li> WashU</li>
<li> Cornell II (though I said I wouldn't want to go)</li>
</ol>
<p>cornell II never gets any love......... =(</p>
<p>wow michigan is my first too...</p>
<p>that's because michigan is awesome =D</p>
<p>what is everyone doing for their isssue/problem essay?</p>
<p>i'm actually not sure yet. maybe something very narrow. </p>
<p>you?</p>
<p>Which one??</p>
<p>Personal conflict: Swimming.
Topic of interest: Political correctness. (As of now at least.)</p>
<p>haha, i'm not political at all. on the off chance that i do get into tasp and i get put into the int'l politics on film seminar, i'm going to be the dumbest one there.</p>
<p>If I get in, I won't have anything to contribute. I know nothing. But I'd like to learn a lot, which is why I want to go! =D</p>
<p>Lawl, that sounds so lame. I'm tempted to punch myself...</p>
<p>HAHAHAH, i said that too! in my rankings thing. "uh, i'm actually a dunce at politics... but i can sit and listen and learn!" XD</p>
<p>Hey, it shows you have an open mind and want to learn. ;)</p>
<p>BY THE WAY.</p>
<p>PEOPLE.</p>
<p>I have gotten wind that SOME OF YOU are doing this just so it will look good on your resume. Seriously, DO NOT DO IT FOR THAT REASON. You do not deserve to defile the amazingness that is TASP and I wholeheartedly hope Telluride sees right through you.</p>
<p>I have eyes and connections everywhere, that's how I know.
I'm not naming names, but seriously. Please, don't. Let the people who TRULY are passionate do it. They will benefit more than you. You are just looking for something to add to a list; they want the experience, the knowledge, and the friendships: what actually matters.</p>
<p>Be considerate. Have a heart, man.</p>
<p>Oh. AND DON'T LIE ON YOUR APPLICATIONS! DON'T!</p>
<p>That's all for now.</p>
<ol>
<li>St.Louis</li>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>UT-Austin</li>
<li>Cornell I</li>
<li>Cornell II</li>
</ol>
<p>..yeah. Cornell II isn't getting any love, I agree.</p>
<p>Eyes and connections everywhere??</p>
<p>Kind of creepy...jaykay jaykay.</p>
<p>Ahhh...I go back to school in 2 days.
I need to get these essays doneeeeeeeeeeee!</p>
<p>Can't say I disagree with Aida.</p>
<p>But wow it seems like there's a lot of non-political people out there! (Including myself, haha)</p>
<p>hahahaha, i love aida.</p>
<p>btw, for those of you pming me for aida's essays, the one that she sent me was saved on a temp folder and i can't find it.</p>
<p>whoever else that has it, leave a message so people know who to pm.</p>
<p>Cornell I
St Louis
Michigan
UTAustin
Cornell II
no love for cornell II... seriously.</p>
<p>Idn what I'm gonna analyze yet buttt</p>
<p>Conflict:self-definition and writing
issue: something re: democracy and foreign policy... yay for MUN experience!</p>
<p>How far is everyone else in their apps?</p>
<p>I have 1.5 essays done, #5 filled out... Still gotta do #1, finish #2, #4, #6</p>
<p>Yay! Account finally activated. I've been lurking on this board for awhile. I've probably read all 32 pages of it. This is why I should not be given month long breaks. Or breaks lasting longer than two days, for that matter.<br>
Seminar preferences:
1. UT Austin (yay bioethics!)
2. Michigan
3. Cornell 1
4. St. Louis
5. Cornell 2
I'm not sure why Cornell 2 isn't getting any love. I think it looks really interesting. Then again, they all sound amazing. My ranking of them is basically arbitrary (when I was first trying to decide I had a three-way tie for first).</p>
