<p>yay, good job thecomisar! i was i was as diligent as you... unfortunately, i have a knack for being unproductive unless there's a deadline beating down my back. and right now, monday seems far, far away...</p>
<p>and i have midterms to study for. ugh.</p>
<p>That 2-3 weeks is a killer. That wouldl've been over break for me, and I didn't really know about the program til then!! I jumped her the day I got back though!!</p>
<p>She's old, retiring, and she suffers from seasonal depression. I guess I have to go easy on her.</p>
<p>WOW pressure thecomisar.</p>
<p>My teacher said she'd do it in five minutes and write "LET HER IN." and that would be it.</p>
<p>I hope she's kidding ^^</p>
<p>sounds similar to the recommedation written by a WashU applicant's little sibling who wrote something along the lines of
"Please accept my big brother. I want his bedroom."</p>
<p>hahahaha awwww!</p>
<p>That's cute. It reminds me something on AZN (I actually don't watch it regularly) about Asian kids and the pressure to get into good schools.</p>
<p>Ivy Dreams?? Something like that.</p>
<p>Well, there was this kid who REALLY wanted to go to Princeton but was ridiculously under-qualified. His little brother said he hoped he wouldn't go, because he'd miss him.</p>
<p>Okay, completely non-related. But that's what it reminded me of nonetheless!</p>
<p>AWW that's cute :)</p>
<p>first tasp essay writing session since 2 months ago! actually i lied, im still not sure what essay i will work on or what i will write about, i can only hope that in 5 hours i will have completed something valuable.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>My councilor who nominated me asked to write my rec letter and went as far to call me out of class to have a 1 hour mini-interview (well not that mini) about me and the program and everything so he could write my letter. I saw it briefly because he needed to copy it or w/e (Aida status)</p>
<p>The first line:</p>
<p>I simply can not recommend Corey R. strongly <em>dies</em> ....enough for the TASS program. <em>comes back to life</em></p>
<p>I got him the book I wrote my critnal on as a gift. :-P</p>
<hr>
<p>I really want strawberry sour belts right now.... hmm :-/</p>
<p>"strawberry sower belts"</p>
<p>THE SPELLING POLICE STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!!</p>
<p>"sour", not "sower"</p>
<p>I am a typo freak.</p>
<p>Wow everybody seems to have these hardcore recs. </p>
<p>Whereas when I asked my teacher, she was all </p>
<p>"Sure." (silence)</p>
<p>So basically she doesn't really know what she's writing a rec for! Lol. I think TASP will reject me fo shizzle.</p>
<p>Not a single administrator at my school has heard of this program.</p>
<p>What a great school...</p>
<p>lol i spelled "sour" sower <---- N00B</p>
<p>woah im sorry never again will I say N00B</p>
<p>Dont worry tako. All in the essays. now you can wory about the essays :-P</p>
<p>HAHA that is not reassuring giantred, as I have written a total of:</p>
<p>ZERO essays up to now. </p>
<p>Well I have "written" one, but revamping needs to occur. About 50% done with book analysis. Ranked seminars, but haven't explained why. And that is it, sadly. I hope I can get into "essay cracking mode" this weekend.</p>
<p>And I am sure they take your rec into some consideration.</p>
<p>i hope so.... i would feel bad for my teacher if they didn't, because she put a lot of thought into it. she mentioned things that i didn't put in my essays, so even though the bulk of your application is essays, i hope that there is some substantial weight put on the rec.</p>
<p>Wow all of your teachers sound like they loveeeee you guys.</p>
<p>I'm in a somewhat love-hate relationship with mine :D</p>
<p>t+60 minutes. situation:</p>
<p>"jan 18th, 2007 - Conflict Essay</p>
<pre><code> A creature raised by a foreign society in foreign lands. A land where strange customs and traditions rule. And the man, pondering on his whereabouts and psychological being, seeks his identity obscured by a functional coexistince with mankind and nothing more.
</code></pre>
<p>Finding myself while operating within the moral, ethical and legal parameters of society is what I seek. It has been determined tha... Oh **** it, please TASP just let me in. The end. "</p>
<p>hahahahaha.</p>
<p>wait, whatismouse, you're a guy?</p>
<p>Hmmm I got my ap biology teacher to write mine. At first she was all excited about writing it over winter break, then when she gave it to me she was all "... it's not a SCIENCE program?" so... I'm not sure how it is :/ Just because I'm asian everyone automatically thinks I'm soooo science-oriented.</p>
<p>All of my teachers are trying to cram in a week's worth of information into two days, basically, because of the snow storm we had. Right before finals too. I can sense multiple all-nighters in my future.</p>
<p>I can't seem to find motivation to edit and finish any of my essays... they're all 50-75% done but need major editing but I'm kinda like... eh... I am so sick of looking at my own writing.</p>
<p>I heard somewhere that someone's college essay went along the lines of:: "I got a 36 on my ACTs. I hate essays. You're accepting me anyways."</p>
<p>But I'm not sure if I believe that.</p>
<p>I just spent the last 3 hours or so working on an 80-line French script.
Grossgrossgross.</p>
<p>Does anyone else tend to get sick when they're the busiest??</p>
<p>I heard somewhere that someone's college essay went along the lines of:: "I got a 36 on my ACTs. I hate essays. You're accepting me anyways."</p>
<p>HMM and did he/she get accepted?</p>
<p>I expect he/she didn't want to go to that place, if they would write such a bs essay.</p>
