Tasp 2007

<p>Haha. I’d rather worry all weekend. More fun. And suspenseful…oooh!</p>

<p>ahh… choosing classes for next year sucks. -.-</p>

<p>do you all think four years of a foreign language is essential? i’m starting to dislike spanish…</p>

<p>Ew. I gave up foreign language immediately after the required three years; the people in the class weren’t the brightest of kids, and the teacher slogged through the material so slowly that I couldn’t take it anymore. Apparently she was on leave for about 6 weeks this year for some kind of surgery - what a waste of a class!</p>

<p>I think you should join the club.</p>

<p>Harvard way back you said how you procrastinated. Lol. I like how you started this thread in October and you still didn’t make it in time. :-P</p>

<p>GL with the classes Wu, art credit is such BS. Either its all you do, or it prohibts you from doing something else. I know sometimes Rhetoric or something like that can be considered an Applied Art, instead of a Visual Art. But art credit is credit.</p>

<p>AesChina, totally on the same page as you.
Lol whenever I take this attitude, it makes me think of Little Miss Sunshine. Haha the father.</p>

<p>Argh the snow is ruining my perfectly good Thursday! The school district cancelled our planned field trip but is still holding classes, and tennis is cancelled :/</p>

<p>thewu- the UW website says
“One-half year or one trimester of study is required in the fine, visual, or performing arts, to be chosen from art appreciation, band, ceramics, choir, dance, dramatic performance and production, drawing, fiber arts, graphic arts, metal design, music appreciation, music theory, orchestra, painting, photography, print making, or sculpture.”</p>

<p>So I’m guessing it’s okay! And I found this in the brochure on foreign language- “Two full years of study must be devoted to asingle language. If possible, take a foreign language your senior year to prepare you for continued studied at the UW. College of Arts and Sciences majors must complete a foreign language through the third quarter in college, after enrolling at the UW.”
I don’t know what to make of that statement, but I had the brochure handy so… (:</p>

<p>Little Miss Sunshine: Best Movie Ever. But it’s so depressing…thinking about some parts of it makes me want to bawl.</p>

<p>Chem final over! I don’t know…I think I did well. But I just don’t know, as opposed to my Spanish final, which I probably failed. =D</p>

<p>Languages…blehwisdjkvsndk.</p>

<p>lobster: haha yea, ik. but actually i didn’t even procrastinate much…I just really didn’t have time. although that’s still a lame excuse. </p>

<p>i haven’t heard back from so many things…nj scholar, tasp, scholastic…it’s so hard to wait!!</p>

<p>Hehe. So I was planning to wake up at 3 this morning to write my two essays for the Carnegie Mellon, and slept in until 5 instead. So I did two essays in two hours…and they sucked. Oh well what’s done is done :)</p>

<p>tako, they accept stuff after the deadline. and i didn’t know you were talking about the CMD program before. my teacher wrote me a rec letter for it but i have yet to look at the application/start my essays.</p>

<p>"I really am pretty optimistic, actually.</p>

<p>But see, the TASP thread…is documented. Thus I’d feel terrible if I said, “I think I’m going to make it into TASP!” and got rejected. In fact, I don’t think I could come back if I acted so optimistic. And more than being optimistic, it’s somewhat presumptuous and arrogant, in my opinion. It’s just easier to pretend you have no chance. Don’t take any of us seriously, because I am sure that all of us thinks we have a chance. </p>

<p>I actually have extremely high hopes/expectations; I just prefer not to inform other people of them. I’m a rather secretive person, I’m afraid." </p>

<p>tako…are you my clone?<br>
I was thinking the same thing all day. I sat through chem wondering why I am always so optomistic on the inside but so pesimistic on the outside. </p>

<p>I missed so much on here today…going to work now shows its downside. With regards to the foriegn language thing I have nowhere near four years. Actually my transcript is going to look horrible. I have a year of german, two years of french, and two years of spanish. In addition, I am learning ancient greek and latin on my own and I have studyed italian for a long time. It’s just strange because I’ve never had a language formally for more than two years.</p>

<p>I know, but I wanted to get the best possible chance of making it in, ha ha. </p>

<p>Not that I am going to…I don’t even want to THINK about those essays, they were that bad.</p>

<p>I actually had a long conversation with myself where I debated the merits of
A. Crappy essays but on time
B. Okay essays but about a week after deadline</p>

<p>They said they would consider applications after the deadline pending space in the program, and I figured that it’s not like my essays would get that much better anyway, as I’m not that great of a writer, regardless. So yeah just figured I should send them in today.</p>

<p>Um, the essays were…unique though :smiley: Diversity! Maybe they’ll take a few stupid/bad writer people to offset all the smart people there :)</p>

<p>Oh man Karen we are totally twins! We think in like the EXACT same way…interesting. Maybe we were separated at birth :smiley: Or maybe we’re like…the same person with different names, ha ha.</p>

<p>haha…yeah </p>

<p>so i was just wondering this, where’s cupertino? Is it by frisco or la or where?</p>

<p>It’s about an hour away from San Francisco…</p>

<p>OMG I GOT A TASS INTERVIEW!!!</p>

<p>Ahhh… </p>

<p>GL waiting you silly TASPers</p>

<p>AHHHH COREY COREY LOVE LOVE LOVE :)</p>

<p>HAPPINESS HAPPINESS HAPPINESS WOW I AM ACTUALLY GENUINELY HAPPY FOR YOU</p>

<p>This made my day! And it was a pretty good day, too :)</p>

<p>cool!! yet another thing somewhat in common. I’m an hour away from New York. Damn…if we applied to the same TASP program I would have hoped I would get in just meet you. </p>

<p>Oh one last question…is it really illegal to J-walk? My brother got a ticket for it so I’m kind of confused.</p>

<p>OMG COREY CONGRATS!!!</p>

<p>You seem to have deserved it! I second everything that tako said.</p>

<p>Corey…AHHHHHH </p>

<p>I don’t even know why I’m so excited for you. We met over the internet, for goodness’s sake! </p>

<p>:DDDDDD</p>
