<p>Photography! Politics! Art! I'm taking people's senior portraits this year (im a junior haha) and I've photographed rallies and stuff..Combining photos and politics, whoo.</p>
<p>Music - esp a cappella singing (would love to do more musicals, but there aren't a lot of parts for female tenors, ha)</p>
<p>Writing-all kinds, except poetry, leaning more towards nonfic</p>
<p>Math, physics, robotics</p>
<p>Photography, when I have the time</p>
<p>Economics. I've read many econ. books (now working on the advanced/abstract level) thus far, and plan to enter in future competitions. Basically all self-study. Found a mistake that could be disproved in one of Mankiw's (Harvard professor) books as a sophomore. The school sent me a plane ticket to its campus and I went hoping to get early acceptance or something.... I had a nice chat with the dean and an econ. professor (not Mankiw).</p>
<p>Dirtbiking</p>
<p>Spending a weekend in the desert or at a local track with friends, racing, messing around, alllllllll that, or even... working on and fixing up bikes.</p>
<p>I have a feeling most colleges won't see that as a passion when compared to... anything :(</p>
<p>Actually, gregdunn, that's really unique and colleges would find that pretty cool. Really. They don't just want to see math club, science olympiad, and volunteering at the hospital...probably the most popular and therefore unattractive to colleges</p>
<p>Psychology and Cooking</p>
<p>I'm not doing it for college or anything. I started when I was pretty young. It's funny though, usually the dirtbikers are the 2.0 students that smoke pot and whatnot... not one of the top students in the school.</p>
<p>Working as a volunteer firefighter/EMT-in-training. It doesn't matter what time it is, if my pager goes off, I'm out. </p>
<p>I can't wait to get a blue light for my car ;)</p>
<p>SAT preparation!! OMG***BBQ!</p>
<p>Film look me up on myspace film :)</p>
<p>history, track, soccer, partying</p>
<p>Jazz saxophone</p>
<p>(Virtual) investing and econ. Oh and anything having to do with investment banking and securities markets in general. I plan to become an investment banker eventually. Anyway I'm trying to find time to read Freakonomics and all those random investment banking books. I already read Monkey Business.</p>
<p>^ Freakonomics is not an investing book. It's rather a pretty conservative (Economically, not politically) and interesting book. If you like that book, I also suggest reading The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Sounds abstract but really gets you thinking and is factual. If you wish to learn about Ibanking (not that "exciting" and "rewarding" IMO), I also suggest this: <a href="http://www.college-investor.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.college-investor.com/</a>. If you want some economics study guides/quick learners, etc, pm me.</p>
<p>I'm aware that Freakonomics isn't an investing book lol. I would NEVER be able to take advice given to me under the title of Freakonomics seriously anyway. It's just the first econ book that came up in my mind.</p>
<p>I know that IB isn't that "exciting" or "rewarding" lol...I've been following the securities industry intensely for a while and I just like the idea of being an investment banker. I know what it entails, I already did the research. I'm pretty much expecting the worst.</p>
<p>Anyway thanks for your concern, I appreciate it. I'm just glad that you and I share an interest...anyway do you have MSN? Maybe we could chat sometime.</p>
<p>my passion is most definitely singing and acting... i love the rush!</p>
