It’s August, honey.



Erm, I’m a dude… ;)



Also, the Telluride House has a subscription to Sports Illustrated, FYI.



…So does my house. It just didn’t seem like the deepest reading a TASPer would be doing, whereas the kids at my school wouldn’t read anything more difficult or meaningful outside of classwork.



6. TASPers are/will be some of the greatest people you will ever meet. The bond between TASPers is still something I have trouble describing. It can almost be described as a sense of home, where you truly belong and feel safe. I know with my TASP, most people still keep in contact with each other and there are always TASP-y reunions. In fact, two of my TASPers spent time together this summer on a roadtrip down the West Coast. And five of us, spent a day in Philly earlier this summer. Honestly, at the end of TASP, I found that the people I had only known for six weeks had become closer to me than most of my friend at home. So yes, TASPers are very close.



Sweet.
Thanks very much Antagonist, that was very… insightful. I appreciate it.

Also… one last question. Do all the essays need to be very personal? Like, for the essay where you pick a topic or problem you’re interested in, do you need to discuss its relevance to you or do you just go very in-depth about the problem itself?
