<p>It doesn’t sound silly to Britons, I don’t think.</p>
<p>You should really be in Cape Town next summer.</p>
<p>Barcelona is awesome. But the non-Spanish is a bit annoying.</p>
<p>It would be cool to go on vacation, but I really won’t have any money. The only way I’ll really get to do anything like that is if the university pays for it, i.e. study abroad.</p>
<p>Malcolm Gladwell is a bundle of fun.</p>
<p>The New Yorker? You’ve reached a new low.</p>
<p>Now I’m remembering when Malcolm McDowell was on Heroes.</p>
<p>Don’t knock it till you try it. </p>
<p>Read Blink, or The Tipping Point, or Outliers. They’re all good books. His point takes up like 5% of the books, and the rest is examples. But it’s still fun.</p>
<p>Brazil v. USA. Hmm.</p>
<p>I tried writing a college essay yesterday, but it came out hackneyed so I stopped.</p>
<p>I’m waiting for the common app to come out before I seriously start to worry about that.</p>
<p>It’s so easy to write something lame and trite.</p>
<p>Their prompts are all stupid. Just write an essay on whatever you want. After writing that many IB essays, you will find the prompts suitable for a third grader. So write what you think will depict you well. We already know that your trilingualism is going to be the focus of one of them. I would recommend that for your Common App essay, since it’s rather universal.</p>
<p>I’m going to write one essay and use it for everything.</p>
<p>I LOVE DEMPSEY. Now look up who that is.</p>
<p>That works for your Common App essay, or essays for schools that don’t use the Common App. That’s what I did. But some schools will make you write other essays with more specific prompts. You’ll have to write more than just one.</p>
<p>USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA</p>
<p>Jack’s Mannequin and The Fray tonight. Girls… what can ya do?</p>
<p>You and your silly girls.</p>
<p>I liked how when USA beat Spain and Colbert talked about it everyone started chanting “USA USA USA” even though I’m pretty sure most of them had no idea what the Confederations Cup is. Or who the best person in the world is (Clint Dempsey).</p>
<p>USA chants are pretty much instinctual. </p>
<p>And Landon Donovan>Charlie Davies>Jonathan Spector>Clint Dempsey.</p>
<p>Landon Donovan is no. Like Cristiano Ronaldo-lite. Besides, everyone knows if anyone had to be ahead of Dempsey it would be Jozy Altidore.</p>
<p>■■■■ you, Fabiano.</p>
<p>Jozy Altidore is good, but he’s kind of out of shape. Dempsey wouldn’t have scored if not for Donovan. Don’t hate on Americans, snoop.</p>
<p>I’m on a desperate search for socks.</p>
<p>I’m not hating on Americans. I haven’t liked Landon Donovan since I was 7, so ooooooooh.</p>
<p>Go sockless.</p>
<p>And Dempsey just ■■■■■■ up that fast break.</p>
<p>Yo mama just ■■■■■■ up that last break.</p>
<p>That’s right, I said it.</p>
<p>Of course you did.</p>
<p>Donovan. Love him.</p>
<p>If you love him so much why don’t you marrrrry him???</p>
<p>Oh, cause it’s not legal. (See what I did there? Mad social commentary skillz.)</p>
