<p>ok ok, you can have the 3rd world country that is constantly ravaged by typhoons, malaria, and next to a war zone… i guess i’ll have to do with singapore…</p>
<p>gotta go for a little while now… be back in a coupla hours. let you ladies debate among yourselves</p>
<p>Haha, my teachers refused to nominate me for TASS because I wasn’t black. Somehow I didn’t find out until too late that you don’t need to be nominated to apply…</p>
<p>can i have vietnam?</p>
<p>haha wow that’s mean. its directed at black kids but you might have made it anyway.</p>
<p>I will soon have all of Asia anyways.
Panic can have Shikoku and Hokkaido, but I’ll keep the rest of Japan.
I’m willing to give up Myanmar. Any takers?</p>
<p>EDIT: Panic, you can have Vietnam too.</p>
<p>I think my teachers believed it was ONLY for black kids at the time…Oh well, can’t change the past now…</p>
<p>i want the philippines too. but yeah the labeling with standardized testing always annoys me. i feel like not enough people know about tass and tasp. they should like drop phamplets down from airplanes</p>
<p>Why did you keep Honshu? Grrr, well I will take Kinki chihou from you then.</p>
<p>I take Japanese, so sorry if my Japanese geography surpasses your knowledge. :-P</p>
<p>(What a pretentious comment to make-- I suck at japanese)</p>
<p>Haha, get these people knowledge about TA.</p>
<p>But. I think there are a lot of people who get wrapped up in thoses tests and labels and scores who aren’t very “Telluridian” and they would clash with the ideals of the program. (I guess I am a purist-- not that telluride is perfect or anything, but yeah)</p>
<p>Yeah, I have a friend who got a perfect score on the PSAT and she said she just through out the TASP brochure without even looking at it because she just assumed it was another $5000 program like the rest. She didn’t tell me this until after the deadline, and I was like ***?! How could you not apply?!</p>
<p>The Philippines are mine.</p>
<p>Honshu is large and better adapted to supporting my large, fat, bureaucratic dictatorship. I don’t care that much about the industries; that’s just a bonus. Plus, Hokkaido is so rapidly depopulating that there is little use in keeping it.</p>
<p>[I’m making stuff up; I honestly know nothing about Japanese geography…]</p>
<p>These territories are not freebies! You must pledge loyalty to my regime to stake claims in anything!</p>
<p>fine this will be war.
Giant!!! hey</p>
<p>but giant i believe in telluride and i think the essays would weed out these people. id hate to see TA become another whore in the standardized test system of labels and numbers!!!
i will join your regime fridge it will not happen.lol.</p>
<p>I agree on that Panic.</p>
<p>I love dictatorships, especially when they are communistic in nature! </p>
<p>I am off to work. Just when I was starting to keep up with the thread too. Bummer.</p>
<p>Anyone who possesses a territory of my empire must also continue spreading the message of Winkism as the one true doctrine throughout the land…</p>
<p>Panic, which TASS did you go to last year?</p>
<p>epidemiology (still cant spell that word.lol.) at umich</p>
<p>That’s so cool! Epidemiology is fascinating!</p>
<p>You know what’s kind of funny? I already have pictures in my head of what all you guys look and sound like. I can even hear your “voices” as I read your posts. And when I read some of the things you say, I go back and look at the essays you sent me and try to form a personality for you in my head. Creepy…</p>
<p>I’m off to do some homework…
Hopefully there won’t be 10 more pages by the time I get back.</p>
<p>wow. i think ive done that as well on some level. i dont hear the voices or exact images but a general idea. but i think its only cuz cc doesnt work for voices and faces and stuff. so you kinda have to come up with the stuff yourself. its not like facebook or whatever.</p>
<p>Hey, everybody. Wow, only four pages? I was gone for like four hours. I must say I’m disappointed in you all. (:</p>
<p>Huzzah! Cira has emerged from the frozen north!</p>
<p>Yeah, kind of just spent a few hours tromping through the MOST PERFECT SNOW IN THE WORLD taking pictures of the vineyard and drinking cocoa and then buying Polish cookies and I think my dad thinks that Barack Obama is literally the anti-Christ.</p>
<p>How were your days?</p>
<p>Somebody else! My day was pretty mellow. Bought six new cd’s off of amazon and spent the day listening to them all. Sadly, my bank account took a hit. ):</p>
