<p>um not to spoil the fun or anything, but i’m the WashU person from sudan AND the WashU person from the netherlands… so we’ll have to count on the washer from micronesia to give us an extra shot of diversity.</p>
<p>Ooooh! Congrats to everyone who made it to TASP - I’m sure y’all will have a great time there. :)</p>
<p>sounds like you guys’ll have lots of fun
my summer’s shaping up really well now - a week at Roskilde, a few weeks interning with Tom Lantos (hopefully), and then a few weeks going on a road trip with my swedish friends around the states (tasp crashing anyone? :D)</p>
<p>LINDEEK YOU GOT IT!!! OMG CONGRATS happy for you!</p>
<p>You see dont give up hope :)</p>
<p>Gasp. Is this beloved thread in the throes of death or am I hallucinating?</p>
<p>Come June 22nd you wont have to worry about that.
But yes i get that feeling as well.</p>
<p>Oh come on, it was a fun time… and 400+ is definitely an accomplishment! :D</p>
<p>This thread probably makes up like 10% of all posts created this year so far…</p>
<p>^that is a crazy stat… just shows how obsessive taspers are:P</p>
<p>i think each tasp needs to create a slogan. Diversity can be weaved into WashU’s. </p>
<p>We’ll be smokin’ some science at UT!
haha how bout it.</p>
<p>Whoa my journalism teacher totally hates me :O</p>
<p>Me: so I got into JCamp! But I can’t go.</p>
<p>Her: WHATTT WHY?</p>
<p>Me: I’m like, it’s er, in the middle of my other program.</p>
<p>Her: Well I’d go to JCamp. I mean, it’s going to be such a great experience and it’s like THE journalism camp and blah blah.</p>
<p>Me: <em>feels terrible</em> But TASP!</p>
<p>Her: So what do you do in your other summer thing?</p>
<p>Me: Well it’s like a discussion seminar thing…</p>
<p>Her: So it’s like you taking college classes?</p>
<p>Me: Not really…</p>
<p>Her: Well, I’d still go with JCamp.</p>
<p>:( 
:(</p>
<p>All right. (sighs resignedly) But if we have to end this thread, let’s at least do it on a palindrome :D</p>
<p>Oh, sorry about that tako. It seems I cross-posted yet again. Anyway, don’t feel bad. I mean, TASP is definitely worth it. And I’m sure your teacher is more impressed than distraught :)</p>
<p>I got the official acceptance letter in the mail today.</p>
<p>ALREADY?</p>
<p>I WANT MINE I WANT MINE.</p>
<p>Did it come with a packet?</p>
<p>And no, my teacher is not impressed because it’s so hard for me to explain what TASP is without bragging about myself (indirectly) and I hate bragging so I CANNOT EXPLAIN ITS AWESOMENESS.</p>
<p>So people just end up thinking it’s some lame $6000 pay your way to take college course thing :(</p>
<p>Yeah, tako, I can relate…but eff them and EXPLAIN so they’ll shut the heck up.</p>
<p>I’M STILL COUGHING! GUH!</p>
<p>I bought shtuff today, including a henna kit and lots of pins (Just Beet It! is one of them). Also, books (Plath poetry, The Story of Psychology, and Gulliver’s Travels), two skirts, nail polish, a Subversive Sticker book (awesome), a cd, and…more stuff. Yes. I thought you all needed to know this. Anyhoo, I saw some of the books that you people listed in your book lists, talked about in this thread, or talked about in your essays (Death of a Salesman, The Invisible Man, blahblah). I got excited. ^^</p>
<p>Tomorrow is student day = out at 12. Activities all day. No school on Friday. I END SCHOOL NEXT WEEK! JOY!</p>
<p>P.S. - Borders is t3h awesome</p>
<p>Why
is
this
thread
dying.</p>
<p>I
am
sad.</p>
<p>Me too. My main source of entertainment (you guys) is fast disappearing… :(</p>
<p>TASP deprivation/longing it setting in…</p>
<p>Seriously!</p>
<p>I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SUMMER. It’s just too friggin far away.</p>
<p>But like, where did everybody go? :O</p>
<p>You know, we are on a whole different plane of thread activity. I wouldn’t say we were dying quite yet. We’re just kind of dead for us.</p>
<p>Yes, Corey, you told me so. : )</p>
<p>Be revived, thread. I command it.</p>
<p>NOW. </p>
<p>Okay, I guess I need to tell a story.</p>
<p>So my parents saw my progress report with my D minus and comments :O</p>
<p>AND THEY TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. LMAO I WANTED TO LAUGH SO HARD but of course I couldn’t. So then I finally convinced them that my teacher made a mistake (but I still think they don’t believe me…my teacher might just be getting an angry email soon :P).</p>
<p>BUT THEN. My dad is like, sooooo who do you think got the D minus instead? Who has a last name like yours?</p>
<p>And I’m just like *** WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS. And I yell at them for thinking of such things.</p>
<p>gah
how do I leave tasp behind and still talk to you guys
this is annoying >_></p>
