<p>What’s a hobo doing with a time machine?</p>
<p>that’s the question on all of our minds</p>
<p>I did some community service with my friends, then I went to the ammusment park with my brother, bought $3.00 worth of tickets for him to ride rides. Then I bought 7 cans of pepsi ($7.00). I then took my family to see the outdoor rockets at the New York Hall of Science before having them go with me to sit in the “Pepsi Picnic Area” at the New York Mets game (free admission on Wendesday with a Pepsi can).</p>
<p>wow i had a timed machine in my essay too!! we got to built it tho</p>
<p>i saw this on the blog thing:</p>
<p>What are your Admissions pet peeves? (What drives you crazy?): It drives me crazy when applicants forget that the JHU essay question asks about an adventure theyd plan, not how to spend $10 in a day. The question is not about how to spend a free day or how to get through 24 hours with only $10. The question is about going on an adventure. Spending $10 to go to the beach or hiking and forgetting that it is supposed to be an ADVENTURE.</p>
<p>uh oh for some of us…</p>
<p>haha thats what i thought too. its not about spending exactly 10 dollars… n writing how they spending throughout the essay … 2 for that 3 for that… but how it amuses the writer…</p>
<p>I went to a bank and exchanged my money for pennies. I then went about hiding pennies in small and random places-- in the knot of a tree, crack in the sidewalk, in a petunia pot, taped to the bottom of a desk, etc. This basically led to a discussion on the infinite possibilities and marvels of cultivating a healthy happiness with small pleasures and “adventures.” (Who might find these pennies? What would their reactions be? Would they appreciate a mere penny, let alone notice it hidden away? blah blah blah)</p>
<p>I was thinking of doing something like this, but I wasn’t nerdy enough to pull it off: I dissolved the dollar bills with acid, and determined the chemicals used in the ink and in the preservative spray. I then performed hydrolysis reactions on the cellulose fibers found in the paper to break down…yeah</p>
<p>i bought a story from some random person downtown …learning from other’s life experiences and all…</p>
<p>i went to the top of the empire state building with king kong…it was awesome</p>
<p>Ok i made a movie with three of my friends, two of whom applied to jhu with me. The movie was absolutely ridiculous and it involved magic coconuts/gatekeepers/damsels in distress. Just to get the point across, our ending line was “and you stay classy Johns Hopkins”</p>
<p>Yeah, im for real.</p>
<p>The video can be seen here:

<p>Wow… haha, that seriously gave me a lot of laughs milesguidon. All I can say is, either you guys’ll be instantly accepted or instantly rejected. Either way, great video!</p>
<p>damn… milesguion GOOGLE VIDEO ISNT SUPPORTED IN INDIA… nooooooo</p>
<p>Do u have it hosted elsewhere? (goldshadow’s comment makes me wanna see it!!!)</p>
<p>hahaha, i like the video miles.</p>
<p>Oh man. That video killed many, many brain cells. Did you make those costumes?</p>
<p>I said that I’d buy rocks and throw them at kittens, because there’s no way you’d deny me based on how I’d spend $10.</p>
<p>I wrote about going to a Korean live cafe where I would sing (here was the long and dramatic suspense) and earn some bucks and then spend the money on my close friends for dinner.</p>
<p>I made a pancake. Not some pancakes, a pancake. It was weird…</p>
<p>Miles, that video killed lol. How long did it take to make the costumes?</p>
<p>Make? We didnt make them, they belong to the person who played like 4 characters (shopkeep, green monster, gatekeeper, damsel). Except for my wings, they belong to the person who played the whistling butterfly.</p>
<p>By the way, I play the part of the winged cow.</p>
<p>yeah i think that video killed your chances</p>
