<p>tmasta said it was because of the boat. …</p>
<p>Anyone who wants my essays drop me an email at <a href=“mailto:tjb14@duke.edu”>tjb14@duke.edu</a> I’ll send it along right away. My app wasn’t anything special. I did it a week after catching mono, sent it in a week late, and handwrote the common app.</p>
<p>As for why Iw ant to leave duke, I don’t. It just isn’t harvard. I love it there. I like my fraternity, and I love my friends and my improv group. It’s a tough call.</p>
<p>Or I guess I could post the essays here…would that be weird?</p>
<p>do you think you will indeed leave?</p>
<p>Dude I just have no idea. Right now I’m thinking I’ll stay, but I don’t know.</p>
<p>could you pm the essays?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And the admissions committee fails again! :)</p>
<p>haha well that’s flattering.</p>
<p>the admissions committee always fail</p>
<p>lol yeah no offense to you it’s just funny that their job is to admit the best candidates but also admit those likely to attend. you’re a lucky, crafty person.</p>
<p>on its way…</p>
<p>Well its not like I’m not going. Just unsure. I’m afraid no one there will go out or have fun, etc. I don’t want to attend poetry readings every weekend…Thoughts?</p>
<ul>
<li>" no one there will go out or have fun, etc." </li>
</ul>
<p>not sure, but i guess there’s not that much “fun”. And the fame stuff is what they care. just as the boat you were in.</p>
<p>I feel dense. You’ve mentioned this boat I’m in twice now. What do you mean?</p>
<p>tmasta, i just e-mailed you for the essays. or you could PM them. thank you so much!</p>
<p>oh, and for Everax… I haven’t applied as a transfer yet. I’m a senior in high school.</p>
<p>here’s what you said “…applied to transfer because, hey, it’s Harvard? That’s the boat I’m in.”</p>
<p>I mean that we might need to admit that the fame of the school is what most people care. do you think so ?</p>
<p>Ah, of course. The boat.</p>
<p>The fame of the school is clearly one of the more compelling reasons to go. That, and all the ridiculous people you get to meet. But fame is totally a driving force. I’ll admit it.</p>
<p>and we are forced to be the slaves of fame, isn’t it ?</p>
<p>the society needs fame, the business needs fame, even the history needs fame … and so do we.</p>
<p>Something else that might be of interest: I caught mono second semester and dropped a class (“medical withdrawal”), so I was underloading. Apparently not a fatal thing to do.</p>
<p>tmasta, I just received your e-mail. Thank you so much!</p>
