<p>rankings one page... future, like two pages already and i'm not even done. </p>
<p>and awww, billy_liar, don't say that. although that's probably what i would do, too. lol...</p>
<p>Hmm...why does everyone want to go to TASP??</p>
<p>Like, beyond "the experience." More specifically??</p>
<p>I hope to learn more about what I want to do with my life. And I lovelovelovelove making new friends more than anything in my life. And I always meet the greatest people at these nerd camps. Looove!</p>
<p>inkspill...and others:</p>
<p>These essays, more likely than not, are like no other essays you have ever written before. :-D </p>
<p>A pedantic laundry list of your ECs and acomplishments is not what these essays are. Those things are shallow and dont show your true character. Its when you show the way you view the world and how you aproach it; that the essays will truly reflect you.</p>
<hr>
<p>Also Roamorse...Essay Orgy haha I cant believe you remembered that. Haha the lobster tank... semi-ironic.</p>
<p>Dude I would disappear, except the people here are too cool :D</p>
<p>And I am a terribly pessimistic person, so don't bother trying to persuade me that I have a chance. It won't work! :) I know I don't, but I figure TASP application = good practice writing essays, right?</p>
<p>Haha I am one of the strangest people I know. </p>
<p>My future's about 1 1/2, but I have a bit more revamping to do. (It's the ONLY one I'm "done" ... me = screwed -__-)</p>
<p>Haha...time to face the truth ladies and gents.</p>
<p>If we all didn't think we have at least the slightest chance of getting in, we wouldn't apply. I don't care how strange you are tako, you're applying for a reason!!</p>
<p>=]</p>
<p>That's as inspirational as I get. I'm done. Lawl.</p>
<p>I've learned so much just from doing the application for this program....It's nice to think about how much more I would learn if I got in!</p>
<p>BTW, since we are going so fast in this forum, esp in the afternoon, we should seriously host an AIM chatroom</p>
<p>I'm actually hoping for a fluke. Maybe they'll be all, HMMM our acceptees are all too smart. Let's choose somebody stupid and shallow to "add diversity" to TASP!</p>
<p>XD </p>
<p>Why am I applying? Because I love lit. I love discussions. And I want to enjoy a summer doing something I enjoy. I actually don't know why I'm applying - it's just been a dream since last year :) Hmmm this might be an interview question (assuming I get that far). I shall have to think that over.</p>
<p>Tako. </p>
<p>Below is an excerpt from your issues essay</p>

<p>God Im emotional. But what can dots on a screen really elucidate about ones true emotions (matter of fact why is it that im even writing about little faces that dont even represent my canadian features @(<em>-</em>)@ <-- (last time i checked i dont look like princess leila).) Well the answer is (It just modern day interactions.) Everything is so (well it be colloquial.) I even be using parentheseses (spell yo?) around the whole paper. )</p>
<hr>
<p>Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I guess I just had one of my "moments".</p>
<p>Did anyone else realize that this single thread makes up more than one third of the entire Summer Programs section??</p>
<p>Hehe, excitement.</p>
<p>y0, I'm liking this essay except, giantredlobster. 'Cept I'm thinking it's missing some those little bracket thangs. </p>
<p>OMG in my book analysis I totally wanted to write:</p>
<p>"[BOOK] is a work of genius (pardon the pun)" </p>
<p>because it's written from the point of the view of a genius! Hehe. Except I'm not because...yeah :P</p>
<p>And I still haven't decided on an issues topic. I might do the whole emoticons = loss of real feelings/sincerity, except I'm afraid that it's overdone :( I NEED INSPIRATION. PLEASE FATE, GIVE ME INSPIRATION NOW.</p>
<p>Oooh weird!!! Post #1111!! Kickass!</p>
<p>Okay. Yeah, I really need to go study something now.</p>
<p>lol. this post is growing exponentially by stupid posts like this one.</p>
<p>=D</p>
<p>haha yeah... I actually LEFT THE COMPUTER (gasp) for two whole hours during which I very diligently studied chem. Which means tonight I'll have time to work on TASP essays! yay.</p>
<p>Yay thecomisar!</p>
<p>I figure I'll make some time tonight. Ehh, late start tomorrow I can sleep at two :)</p>
<p>Why do I want to go to TASP?</p>
<p>Because it sounds like such an enriching experience, and I love being surrounded by intellectually passionate/zealous students. Plus, theres an irreplacable rush I get from a good debate or discussion. My friends laugh at me because they get that kind of reaction on roller coasters, lol. But TASP sounds absolutely ay-may-zing: the 2 am political debates, lunch table discussions....whats NOT to love!? :) <em>sigh</em> I just wish everyone that applied could be accepted. I frequently find myself daydreaming about TASP and I havn't even submitted my application yet! I'm way too in love right now...it is starting to affect my concentration in school. heh.</p>
<p>Did I mention I have one more essay to write? hahaha</p>
<p>kyzan - i think a lot of people have a few essays to write still.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I am like your opposite! I have only written one essay :)</p>
