<p>With 40 thousand in scholarship... hm... I'd probably pay for college. And a pretty sweet laptop.</p>
<p>I'd buy this musical instrument I'm in love with that costs $29,000.</p>
<p>Is your musical instrument by any chance made of hamburger meat?</p>
<p>Oh, that's not as much fun! Still pretty rockin', though.</p>
<p>Um. No. I'm afriad that a hamburger meat instrument would have quite poor sound quality.</p>
<p>Yeah your spit valve would keep decaying. :(</p>
<p>Well the point is, this all costs more than $10 so there goes all of our JHU essay ideas!</p>
<p>$10?</p>
<p>I'd spend it on food or Christmas presents or a book or a movie ticket, or I'd put it in my bank account where it would vanish into the bank's ether, which I still find remarkable even after summers working as a teller.</p>
<p>I'd give all of it to rescue disabled puppies from the inner city...</p>
<p>I'd buy a week's worth of Milky War bars.</p>
<p>And thus I demonstrate my passion for astronomy</p>
<p>Heh. I like that one.</p>
<p>It's very true that admissions are insane: I know a kid who went to RSI and Siemens Westinghouse nationals and got deferred.... What's wrong with the world?!</p>
<p>Talking about Luyi?</p>
<p>yea, *** mate?</p>
<p>Not sure what was supposed to be where that "***" is, but I know him from Siemens. Good kid ;)</p>
<p>*** prolly stands for what the fuc*</p>
<p>Oooh, OK.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was surprised Luyi got deferred too. Would like to see him there!</p>
<p>Another reason why ISEF is better. Cash for grand awards... lol</p>
