<p>Haha daenerys, I emote myself online by using smileys. If you look at my past posts, I daresay I abuse the smiley privilege.</p>
<p>“I liked the interview, but it has rendered me permanently incapable of passable self-expression. I said nothing particularly insightful and very little that was intelligent.”</p>
<p>that pretty much sums up my interview. i mean, it wasn’t like horrific or anything, but i didn’t really feel like i accurately represented myself at all or leave much of an impression. oh well. we’ll find out soon enough (like a week, almost). and don’t worry about it too much; i’m sure it was fine.</p>
<p>^SAME! Over the phone and in less than an hour, I felt like my personality and passion didn’t come through at all. oh gosh, this next week is going to be painfully slow. And right now, everything (read: EVERYTHING) reminds me of TASP in some way, shape, or form. my mental and emotional attachment to this program is definitely abnormal and unhealthy. </p>
<p>its funny, back in March when we got our letters, i thought I’d climaxed - there wasn’t any possible way that I could fall any MORE in love with Tasp. </p>
<p>Well, I proved myself wrong.</p>
<p>Wow. I just realized the day TASP decisions come out is the day after my physics final exam. Hmmm</p>
<p>Or it could be the day of. Some think the 30th (because last year they came out on a Monday) some think the 1st.</p>
<p>my interviewer said the end of april so…</p>
<p>Hopefully Monday. Better be.</p>
<p>Dude I am totally going to work myself up for that Monday. If they don’t do it…I don’t know, I might just go insane. I don’t think I could stand waiting a whole another day.</p>
<p>Well, then again we’ve already waited a whole month or so. What more is another day? Haha. I’ve got to admit, though, TASP has slipped from my mind the past couple of days, only to come back now with full force! Anyways, I think I shall wait ever-so-patiently for the mass email (hopefully)…I’m bad with phone calls. D’oh!</p>
<p>EVERYBODY I AM IN AN ESSAY READING MOOD!</p>
<p>So everybody, trade with me :)</p>
<p>Email me your essays at <a href="mailto:jennysun_■■■■■■■■■■■■">jennysun_■■■■■■■■■■■■</a></p>
<p>:D I just…love reading people’s essays, and I remembered that fact when talking to inky, XD They make me happy, and I get inspired when I read everybody’s amazing essays.</p>
<p>SO EMAIL ME OR ELSE! And then I’ll email mine back, and we can have an orgy fest! Yayy.</p>
<p>Question about thank you letters…
how do you start it off? “Thank you for interviewing me …” blahblahblah?</p>
<p>I said something like</p>
<p>“Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to interview me! And thanks for the Jamba Juice! (because they gave me Jamba :D)”</p>
<p>and I added a PS about one of the questions we discussed that was never really answered, and updates on my contemplation :P</p>
<p>Tako, I am going to, very shortly, send you my essays. But only because I, too, am in an essay-reading mood. :D</p>
<p>Goshhh being away all day has made me miss three pages on here!</p>
<p>I went to Cal Day, the open house thing at Berkeley… I really really like that school. It’s awesomex100.</p>
<p>Jenny, I sent you my essays :)</p>
<p>i love tako’s essays. they make me happy. =)</p>
<p>Me too, me too! Reading essays just make me jealous. :)</p>
<p>WHAT</p>
<p>dae…omg I am SO JEALOUS of your writing ability. I could fricking annotate your essays, and your luddism one was WAY over my head. Like, I’ll need to go reread it 5 times before I even start to <em>get</em> it. </p>
<p>You are…amazing. </p>
<p>Thanks for killing my writing self-esteem :P</p>
<p>hmm</p>
<p>my interview was weird. The interviewers completely ignored my lit critical analysis, my personal essay, my booklist, and large portions of my future essay.</p>
<p>anyways, will applicants who are not picked still receive a letter or email notifying them?</p>
<p>LOL tako. i did the same after reading her personal conflict. i read it three times and picked up different things each time i read it. like what people do when they read literature. </p>
<p>and yeah, you get an email on the same day decisions come out.</p>
<p>so i was having this whole conflict. i applied to TASP and LEAD, but LEAD acceptances came out a few weeks ago and you’re supposed to notify by monday and place a $100 non-refundable deposit. so i called TASP to see when i should expect a def answer, and they said that this weekend the final decisions are being made and we should all hear by the first week in may (yikes).</p>
<p>So I was on youtube (yes, I am one of those kids) looking for music videos by Chris Cornell (world’s best singer ever) and and one of the related pages I found was a “Cornell TASP 2005” series that I watched part off because I apparently have way too much free time. It appears to be a slideshow of some sort for any of you that also have too much free time.</p>
