I also am morbidly curious. My list is: Cornell, Boston U, Brandeis,U of MD College Park, VaTech, GaTech. Rejected by Tufts and Boston College(extremely embarassing, I know, being a Catholic and all!). Still waiting: Harvard, UVa, Penn
i for one am morbidly curious about what colleges everyone has gotten into. my list is swarthmore, brown, rice, reed, carnegie mellon. rejected from mit.
Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I've been reading this really interesting book called the Indigo Children, which deals with the social and intellectual changes that have shown up in our generation, and the ones that came after us. Their observations actually make sense, although their methods of dealing with the changes seem a bit holistic. Anyway, it makes for a good read...I know we're all (except maybe Annie!) looking to next week with a mixture of dread and anticipation...Good luck everyone, and wish me luck-- Harvard, Penn, and UVa have yet to pass judgment on me

this omega number thing seems really odd. it's like finding the one thing that you can't calculate, and inferring thus that it exists at all levels. he even says that it's just his hunch. and besides, this whole thing about mathematicians accepting things as true has been around ever since axioms came into being.
y'all read flatland? it's about dimensions, which isn't really the same thing with the super omegas, but it's close enough.
enjoy yourselves.

i'm back to lucid00.port5.com. if anyone cares.

wanna confuse the hell out of yourself? read about the omega number.
take off every zig! you know what you doing... MOVE ZIG.

there's really no explanation... it's just freakishly funny for some reason. and for some reason it hit critical mass and became a fad, even making an appearance in time magazine.

damn my blog is pissing me off. stupid hosting provider is acting all screwy. i guess you get what you pay for.

To go to school or not to go to school? I'm coughing up a storm, maybe it's allergies, maybe it's something worse? But I feel like I'm dying, and I'm driving everyone in my classes nuts! But I feel so bad about just not showing up tomorrow. I know it's legitimate, but I keep thinking, what if I miss something of vital importance, and then fail a quiz or test because of it? I know it's dumb to worry about that, I'm a second semester senior, I'm supposed to be cutting, it's my duty! But old habits die hard. And I keep thinking, if I keep my As, then I'll get exempt from finals! (Do you guys have senior exemption?) Aaah, I guess I'll stay home! I wish it were warm here, it hits 50 and we get excited! It's supposed to rain here (heavy heavy rain!) for the rest of the week,and then get really cold again...oh well, spring will come eventually!(and so will college acceptances and rejections--2 weeks--Dear GOD!) A question: What would you think if you didn't get an acceptance letter from a college, but a catalog of their undergrad courses appears in your mailbox? I was baffled!

I think my sine curve is bigger than most, I have wonderful highs, but then I hit really awful lows. Sometimes I wonder whether I'm too much of a romantic, expecting the impossible, and falling too easily, building people up and putting them on pedestals, creating images they can never live up to. But sometimes I'm just the opposite, really receptive one minute, and the next aloof. Funny, I think that's what TheSpark.com said about me, too. Hmmm, I guess it's more accurate than I thought!
As for Cornell, yes, I'm relieved. Thanks for letting me share that with you guys, I was totally flabbergasted when I opened that magical (yet thin) envelope, I could barely comprehend its meaning! I've been sleeping a lot, and not doing much else. I guess it's because this huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. And to think I almost threw that letter away! Now I'm looking forward to beach weather, and Jen coming to visit! I'm trying not to fall asleep in any of my classes, with more success in some than others...Why can't we graduate NOW???!!!
lawrence - yes, i think i have a serious case of graphic-design envy when i view designiskinky and the like. i can't believe i've never taken an art class in my high school. i really should have, but never found the time. cool links, by the way.
Jean - congradulations, dearie. so now you'll be coasting for the rest of the year? not as though that's not what we're all already doing. but still, congrats.
Eric - battlebots are cool. I think the most effective robots are the spinners; as long you protect the wheels; and really practice steering effectively... If only there were some way to retain mobility WHILE spinning. hrm.
lisa - i agree with your sine curve analogy. i think my magnitude is probably on the small side. it's something that i should probably work on expanding. i certainly don;t want to be like some people i know who have such small magnitudes that they live in a sort of a state of numbness... where nothing really bad happens, but nothing really good can happen either. like democracy.

love is a funny thing. a scary thing. so I won't mention it further.
how y'all doing? enjoy any good dim sum? well, I haven't.
after this one place closed in nyc, there aren't any more places to go. my mom told me that she had found a good one. I just went.
is it so much to ask for a dim sum establishment with a little class? a little comfort and seating room? some hot food? ah so.
forgive me, all. I'm just looking for some good food.
and for a month in may, instead of going to school, I'm building a battlebot. design ideas and potential names are welcome.

congratulations jean! that's awesome.

A Cornell acceptance! I had to tell you guys! Love you all!

Ohmigod, Jen, the first few lines of that book was the subject of one of the choices we had for writing our Cornell essays! I knew that sounded familiar! Anyway, in answer to Lisa, I also live in NJ (and it is OH so pleasant!), Old Bridge, to be exact, in Middlesex county (central NJ). Where are you in relation to me? I think I'm in love, so don't feel bad, Annie! You are not alone! Only my love isn't the good kind of love, it's the sad kind. He's totally wrong for me in every possible way, and I know it will end badly, but... I just can't help myself. Well, I'm going to go study for bio, and maybe watch a Hitchcock movie, they always make me feel better! Have a great weekend, all!

jason, your high school's server has some pretty cool software. the 404 page searches for possible correct links, like when the link to one of your stories didn't have an ".html" and the 404 page suggested it. that's awesome! not to mention that your high school provides hosting.
ooh ok why haven't i blogged here recently? must be because i've been pulling my hair out lamenting my busy life or something... speaking of which, i finally decided that i complain too much. i imagine that everyone around me secretly wishes i would shut up.

two days off for me... two days of thinking, gosh i have lots of work to do, i should stop playing computer games. just fired off an email to a prof begging for an extension on this paper due tomorrow based on a video i haven't seen yet.

jason... i like your page, and am jealous that you are not afraid of colors, unlike me. fonts! fonts are what i need. eh. spent all yesterday redesigning and relaunching and it's still ugly.

you know what i realized? that i unconsciously idolize the graphic designers whose pages i see on the web. and without any real thought at all i think i unconsciously desire to become like them. hence messing with photoshop and such. but wait? me, artist? hahahahaha no... so it's strange that i unconsciously set goals for myself this way. does anyone else? i find i do this with breakdancers too. instead of emulating pop stars, i suppose, since i don't watch tv.
Ahhh...my second snow day of the week, my third of the season. Hey east coast ppl, wasn't this blizzard a bit disappointing? I feel kinda let down by those meteorologists...well, I'm going to go sleep some more-take advantage while I still can!

the world is becoming a brighter place. literally. at least in my corner of it. anyways. time to slather on that sunscreen, my fellow californians.
Life is getting more Interesting.
who wants to see a shell of jason's site? i know i do.
