[<em>] Essays: About getting lost in the Bangkok Airport; Supplementary essay was about wanting to take a Paper-making class offered in MHC. Part of it was actually derived from an rant-y email I sent to a friend complaining about the limited educational opportunities (especially in the arts-y subjects) in Pakistani colleges. It was very… passionate and I think I made a good case for why I wanted to go to Mount Holyoke.
