Today’s goal: Finish the essays (one and a half left, then editing!) and study for a psychology midterm. Agh, the stress!
Astaldo, you make me giggle. Just thought I’d say.

With me thus having been slighted, I did post a rather lengthy response, even as this eve mine governor shall respond to the Obama. However, as is quotidian for your brethren, you did not recognize the aforementioned response. Hence, I request that you cast your eyes upon page 21. Do it. Thank you.</p>

<p>@Astaldo - I’m literally having a laugh attack as I sit here alone staring at a computer screen. I can’t believe I didn’t see that post before! You are a true master of weaving humor out of elegant prose.</p>

<p>I feel like everyone on this thread has bonded over the whole application process. TASP FRIENDS! (even though we haven’t been - and in all probability won’t be - accepted).</p>

<p>@Demon in female disguise: thank u for saying such nice things about me i realy like it nd this answer is 2 find out if u need elegent prose to be realy funny or if u can have a heart attack anyways cuz i like it when ma homies have heart attacks: DIE, PUNY HUMAN!!!</p>

<p>Indeed, I didst deem it prudent to notify you of said post, that you may with jubilation leap in the air, and then plummet to earth as the… dirt which is discarded from a dumpster falls on, erm, more dirt. Making a Pile. Pile is capitalized because this Pile is, in fact, an enchanted Pile, a cairn-type artifact imbued with… okay, I’ll stop. This is why you shouldn’t encourage me. Anyway, whether I am permitted to enter the Blessed Realm I at least have an Astaldo fangirl groupie. So I have that. Me <3 fangirl groupies!!! cuz im there idol</p>

So, bluenotebook2, you might want to clear out some space. Just saying. Also, if your essays were attached to your message, then I don’t know how to get at them. Sorry, bad with technology.</p>

<p>hey there new TASPers!</p>

<p>Almost 40,000 views! muaha. >:]
This thread grew so much overnight.</p>

<p>This is a bit random but I suddenly came up with a whole bunch of good essay topics that I wish I had used.</p>

<p>@thiscity: Dude, me too. In retrospect my essays were boring, incoherent, or made me sound insane in a really bad way. I should have written about my things I care more about, like My Little Pony. Or bacon.</p>

<p>I should have written about Dr. Who as a metaphor for religion and existentialism.</p>

<p>But I didn’t.</p>

<p><em>sigh</em></p>

<p>I keep second guessing my essay topics too! There’s no sense in worrying about it now though, it’ll just make use more stressed.</p>

<p>Are you guys applying to any other summer programs?</p>

<p>@Astaldo, how great to have earned the status of fangirl lol.</p>

<p>I’ll probably apply for the Senate Page Program, and possibly a science-oriented program.</p>

<p>@nawtsocliche It is indeed marvelous.</p>

<p>…I should have started during Christmas like I told myself I was supposed to…maybe then my essays wouldn’t have sucked. I feel you guys. :(</p>

<p>Most of my essays were sudden moments of lucidity.
But then gradually degenerated.
I started the weekend before, which makes me feel guilty.</p>

<p>I would apply to other summer programs but … I can’t find any others that aren’t scientific.</p>

<p>I’m applying to a science-oriented program. But there’s also little chance of getting into that one… so competitive… :frowning: </p>

<p>so i’ll probably spend summer dual enrolling. which isn’t so bad.</p>

<p>So what is everyone doing this summer if rejected from TASP? I plan on doing volunteer work far, far away or finding an internship at a publishing company.</p>

<p>@this city - apply to marie walsh, if you’re the artsy type.</p>

<p>I’d really like to apply to other summer programs, but what drew me to tasp in the first place was the whole free tuition bit.
if anyone’s aware of any other free summer programs, heck yeah i’ll apply</p>

<p>if i’m rejected from this, and from mites, i guess i’ll just be working, self-studying, and volunteering…(this sounds so dreadfully boring please omnipotent being allow me to be accepted to something so i don’t just sit at home becoming addicted to fanfic)</p>

<p>I’m so annoyed right now. I read through my critical analysis again, and noticed a bunch of small spelling/grammatical errors I didn’t pick up on when I wrote it. My other essays are fine, so do you think a few poor wordings will cause a whole lot of damage?</p>

<p>I love my essay topics!</p>

<p>Just not how I wrote them… hahahaa it was very, very rushed and very, very stressful.</p>
