<p>Lol relieved to hear you knew some one applying… Makes them sound desperate</p>
<p>Assuming my application ever got there :-/. I still freak out about this on a daily basis. Maybe I will just bite the bullet and call in tomorrow.</p>
<p>Who was it that gave you the tour?</p>
<p>2700 posts already woah.</p>
<p>Corey - Her name was Shannon - don’t know the last name.
iriseyes - Waiting sucks; it’s only 8 bucks and peace of mind is a good thing.</p>
<p>iriseyes, I totally would have paid the $8 for my SAT scores, given the option. XD. But I’m just neurotic like that.</p>
<p>wow. umm i have nowhere near a 2380. i got a 2000, and that’s the highest score in my class.</p>
<p>yeah. i am going to get pwned for tasp. first time posting in this thread… i wandered here.</p>
<p>Wow… being Canadian, I never realized the SAT was THAT big of a deal. It’s just a test, and a pretty lame one at that. But what do I know, eh?</p>
<p>Hey, Iris, I don’t think I ever thanked you for all those excellent books. Definitely looking forward to future recommendations, and quickly please =D. </p>
<p>Does anyone here read the Harvard Lampoon? I discovered it after reading Bored of the Rings, and lordy lord, is it hilarious. It’s like a tortilla of delicious satire, stuffed with abdomen-crunching genius, glazed with sarcasm, and pierced with a sharp toothpick of societal pessimism (or optimism depending on your half-glass stance). BRILLIANT!</p>
<p>And yes, I eat my tortillas glazed and hold them closed with toothpicks.</p>
<p>yea i wondered about that.</p>
<p>Wait is this (harvard lampoon) some sort of blog/newspaper ordeal?</p>
<p>Yeah it is Corey, and it’s my cheapest subscription too (I feel like I should flip open a briefcase and offer you a free issue if you order NOW)! Check out <a href=“http://www.harvardlampoon.com%5B/url%5D”>www.harvardlampoon.com</a> to see what it’s like. Its members have published works outside of the paper over the years, most prominently the abovementioned Bored of the Rings which you can probably find at any moderately sized library in North America. If you are looking for a laugh, and you don’t mind a little bit of a rough edge on your humor, then the lampoon’s your cup of tea.</p>
<p>P.S. Regarding those excellent entries into the race for The Uber-Pen of Tibetan-Merit, it seems the pen ironically has no ink… disappointing =(</p>
<p>Interestingly, when Jeff Zucker ran the Crimson, Conan O’Brien ran the Lampoon. Today, Zucker is CEO of NBC-Universal and O’Brien’s boss (through several levels). Clearly, the Crimson rules the world.</p>
<p>Uh Oh… I have a feeling I should keep my gauntlet to myself for this one… A side note for all you die-hard Conan fans – Conan and I are like two berries. That is my personal favourite moment of Late Night with Conesy (Remember? Tarja).</p>
<p>An announcement – replacing the Uber-Pen of Tibetan-Merit will be the Uber-HB #2 of TASPlicant-Comedy awarded to the best phrase that encapsulates the spirit of the TASPlicant awaiting a decision. To ensure entries, I myself will be making the first one, and I will only be in the running if no other entries are made.</p>
<p>Entry: “Get me to a Nunn-ery!”
Man do I need to get to work…</p>
<p>iriseyes: All I know about the War of the Roses I learned from Henry VI…the pivotal scene of which is mostly symbolic anyway. Sorry. But I would note that just about all English nobles were related back in the day.</p>
<p>Let’s talk about <em>transfinite</em> series. The whole concept of transfinity is awesome. Now I know what Buzz Lightyear meant.</p>
<p>Oh, and I haven’t taken or registered for SATs or ACTs yet…I should probably get on that. And the living room. I should be vacuuming right now so I can have fun tonight. It’s Faschingdienstag–Germany’s Fat Tuesday. But instead I’m sitting here typing about it, because I have no willpower.</p>
<p>I’m going to pay the $8 at lunch today and have a looksie. I think you’re right; peace of mind is worth the petty change.</p>
<p>Haha, I like that comedy bit. Poor Ophelia. T_T</p>
<p>Good luck on your scores :)</p>
<p>Conan O’Brien is my life. Oh man, saw his show live in November when Martha Stewart was a guest. It was the best time I’ve ever had in NYC and it was FREE, so I guess you can’t beat that.</p>
<p>Kind of like TASP, huh? :)</p>
<p>Blachrg. I got a 30. -_-;;</p>
<p>I guess that’s decent considering I woke up a few minutes before the test (boarding school means no driving!) and didn’t even know what was on it.</p>
<p>But still. Blachrg.</p>
<p>haha, it’s not that bad. Are you going to retake? Or do the SAT?</p>
<p>In March, do we get an e-mail or a letter?</p>
<p>I think email, but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, I got my interview notification by letter, and my acceptance by email/letter.</p>
