<p>Whoa whoa. Why did you walk for a mile and a half?
=/</p>
<p>And yeah, I’m pretty good with distinguishing between tourists and natives. ;]</p>
<p>So that I could save $4.50 a day? I’d take the bus occasionally, but it was only a 25ish minute walk to the lab. The train tickets alone cost me an arm and two legs.</p>
<p>OMG, one day I got an e-mail from my mentor (around 6 pm) saying that I had to execute a specific protocol, otherwise I would have to wait another few days because I would have to restart the protocol that preceded it. WELL, it was a Sunday, so I rush to the train station to make a 6:09 train, get to Penn around 6:45, RUN my bus-route (in flats that were breaking with each pounding step), get to the lab building by 7:15. Now, I didn’t have an ID card at this point, so I had to wait for someone to open the lab doors for me, which took about 15 minutes. My actual protocol took all of 5 minutes. FIVE minutes. By the time I got home, it was 9 something. Worst commute EVER.</p>
<p>Ohhh!! I didn’t know that you meant that you did that every day.</p>
<p>That’s pretty gay, actually.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Hahaha. </p>
<p>Yeah, man. I spent 60+ hours a week with antisocial scientists who seemed to hate me. SEVEN days a week. That was my summer: pipettes, test tubes, and potent bacteria. How jealous of my life are you?</p>
<p>I’m extremely jealous of all your friends for seeing you on a daily basis.
:(</p>
<p>I SPENT MY SUMMER AT DEUTSCHE BANK WITH THE MOST KICK ASS INTERNS EVER!!
<3 DB.
However…the coworkers, ehhh, I could do without them. I SWEAR. They were so mean to me. They kept giving me the stank eye. I think they were scared that I was going to take their job or something. LOL I remember we used to have a massive email chain with the corporate emails, us interns and me. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>SPEAKING OF WHICH! One of those interns got into Amherst but went to Pomona instead. He was a cutie. LOL</p>
<p>EDIT: ***. 60 hours a week is against child labor laws. LOL</p>
<p>EDIT # 2 :Wooowww, CC censors that?! I meant to say “Vat ze fook”</p>
<p>Deutsche Bank?? What are you talking about?!</p>
<p>My fellow lab members hated me. T’was saddening, spending 60+ hours a week silent. :(</p>
<p>Too bad he didn’t go to Amherst…he would’ve been some nice eye candy whilst on campus. ;)</p>
<p>Hahahaha. Funny how they censor THAT and not “Ass,” huh?</p>
<p>Haha. What do you mean, what am I talking about? You’ve never heard of Deutsche Bank?!
:(</p>
<p>That’s because scientists are socially awkward. … most of them, any how.</p>
<p>There’s TONS of cuties at Amherst. I know a lax player (sophomore). He’s …<em>drools</em> HAHA</p>
<p>Sent out my Amherst app a few hours ago… just finished my college app frenzy in general XD. Yes, I am the epitome of last minute. Now, a little calm before the storm. I still have a couple to submit tomorrow.</p>
<p>^I’m considering if I should apply to NYU now. (40 minutes to their deadline)</p>
<p>Talk about last minute.</p>
<p>Srrinath, I heard NYU has an obnoxiously long app. Good luck with allll that!</p>
<p>I was going to do NYU, but then I heard about the haiku or poem or whatever they make you write. I went with BU instead.</p>
<p>90 days. 10char</p>
<p>Hey everyone.
I’m an international applicant from Bosnia.
Prospective psych major.
<3 Amherst</p>
<p>Ooooh yeah always lovely to have people who <3 Amherst.</p>
<p>BOSNIA! THAT’S CLOSE TO RUSSIA! OOOOOH.</p>
<p>Soooo:</p>
<p>1.) Empire State. I went there. It’s overrated. So is the Eiffel tower. And I’ve been in a tourist in NYC and I never had a fanny-pack. Haha, but I did have one of those huge I <3New York t-shirts and an unusually large grin on my face. Also, another tourist stopped me to ask me for directions. I was like, “Dude, do you think I’m being ironic with this t-shirt?”</p>
<p>2.) I spent my summer reading, working in a bookstore, going on CC and writing. Oh, and I went to Hong Kong somewhere in the middle of that. Be very jealous.</p>
<p>3.) Wish I’d applied to NYU.</p>
<p>4.) I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE DC AND MM.</p>
<p>5.) WHAT? WE NEED TO KICK SWAT’S ASS!!! AND WILLIAMS’.</p>
<p>I feel so loved!!</p>
<p>QUASI: I LOVEEEEEE <em>and</em> MISSED YOU. DON’T LEAVE ME AGAIN.</p>
<p>2) Eh, the “I <3 NY” can easily be substituted for the fanny-pack, as those are typically reserved for the older group of tourists. If you actually said that, then you justm ade my life.</p>
<p>3) Why? Amherst wasn’t good enough?</p>
<p>4) See un-numbered proclamation of my love for you.</p>
<p>5) Like I said before. First Williams, then Swat, then the WORLD.</p>
<p>Questions:</p>
<p>1) I mailed off my app. dec. 30 (which would be postmarked dec.30). Do they want the stuff by the 1st or postmarked by the 1st? I read somewhere they wanted the stuff by the 1st. </p>
<p>2) Has there been an increase in the number of RD applicants?</p>
<p>3) 2 more months till we find out! =]</p>
<p>woo - I’m back. After many edits, etc. I finally sent sent everything out.</p>
<p>er… hi again. I believe I posted about 60 pages ago. In any case, this thread has surely taken off. just wondering, is amherst the first-choice college for the majority of ppl here?</p>
<p>Hello feathers! </p>
<p>Amherst shares my top choice spot with a couple of other schools, yes. What about you? I’m too lazy to backtrack through the thread, haha.</p>
