Awesomeness +5

[sinclair_furie]

I am a bit to hazy right now for coherent thought, but... I GOT INTO MIT.
YES.

Dear Sharmin,

On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the MIT Class of 2010. You were identified as one of the most talented and promising students in one of MIT's most competitive applicant pools ever. Your commitment to personal excellence makes you stand out as someone who will thrive within our academic environment as well as contribute to our diverse community. At MIT, you join kindred spirits: scholars, builders, entrepreneurs, and humanitarians. We believe that you and MIT are very well matched for each other.
So...  Boston, hopefully!!!!

Also... thanks to the people who stayed up with me, especially my friends who didn't get in. I LOVE YOU ALL.
Though in this mood, I could almost conjure up love for children. [ponders] No, not quite yet. But still.

You blow my mind Sharmin! The first person from ISM to get into MIT in years, maybe decades!

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

four or five, actually. hahahah

You are so amazing you are so amazing. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I almost feel inferior now.

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

Go to school near me!
We can have mad fun! And then hannah will come nearby... and orgy!

Congratulations! :)

though now I have an odd mental image of you blowing a MIT lab up "In the name of SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY!!!!"

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

Desecrate the labs of MIT?
Never.
Ok, maybe later. But still.

hahah i was there with you wahah!

dude if i get into mudd, my letter is gonna be like this.

Dear forbes,

On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my reluctant pleasure to offer you admission to the Harvey Mudd Class of 2010. you were identified as the bottom-feeder of those who applied, however, we felt so sorry for your ass, that we're going to give you this chance.

you're fucked, it's a hard school, i hope you know that.

sincerly,
harvey mudd

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

Hahahhaha
They would get so many cool points for doing that.
But. They won't. Oh well.

[funwithgoats.livejournal.com]

are you saying i won't get in?! thanks for the motivation.

or perhaps you are saying they won't send that letter when i do get in?

bah, i can see straight through your false motivation

(it's a lose lose situation here.)

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

no, as in they would be really cool if they sent such sarcastic letters.
I hope you get in, dude. With all your nefariuos influences, you have a pretty good chance.

Wrong x

[fractaltime.livejournal.com]

Ah ... but with your user icon, you'll have no chance of making it through H. Mudd. Don't you see that it's the wrong answer? First of all, the circled 'x' is sans-serif, whereas the assignment was to find a serifed 'x'. Second of all, the test is not really mathematical, but just a basic test of basic cognitive faculties. The sought-for 'x' is located right after the letters F-i-n-d.

Sincerely,
Your friendly, local maths professor

Re: Wrong x

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAH.
Svein, you rock.

Re: Wrong x

[funwithgoats.livejournal.com]

well, you've totally blown over the comedy of the situation.

i was going to get bummed out, but i read it again and realized you indicated (if) i make mudd, i'll never make it through, so i realized you're giving me hope (in a sense).

i've fixed it, just for you. i'm surprised sharmin never pointed it out before.

Re: Wrong x

[fractaltime.livejournal.com]

Ah ... now it's seriphed, so the first half of my objection has been answered.

As for Mudd, friends of mine rate it very highly.

Re: Wrong x

[funwithgoats.livejournal.com]

ah true, now to beat out the fact that it's not a math problem...........ah, nevermind. imperfection is beauty. i guess.

mudd is said to be "extremely well-known in intellectual circles, and unknown outside of them"...

plus, the students programmed a robot to play duck hunt on the old NES system. that's just plain cool.

[thesexthatshops.livejournal.com]

This is all superfluous. I already knew you'd make it. :P

But YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

yes, yay
And love, for having such faith in me. :D

[funwithgoats.livejournal.com]

see, i didn't...there are so many people here with amazing grades in the past few years that didn't make it that i was seriously skeptical as to whether or not she would...this one guy didn't get in...president of the student body, perfect score on his IB diploma, won the math department award, amazing essays and all that jazz...didn't get in. ended up in harvard, cross-enrolling in MIT i believe.

so it is quite crazy that sharmin was able to do it.

Never have I been so glad not to have a penis.

Congratulations!

MIT is definitely THE school to be in. Tremendous news indeed.
