Round 4: Brown and YaleOkay, first of all, I'm going to have to say that I know that I cannot get into these schools. I guess my parents just wanted to make me feel like shit, or wanted to visit for fun or something. But I pretty much felt like these two visits were a big waste of time. Nevertheless, here are the pictures. First, Brown: The thing that struck me at Brown (which is located at Providence, Rhode Island) was the fact that it is solely inhabited by blonde, short, angry-looking girls. My tour guide was no more than 5'1" (she was shorter than my teeny tiny dad), had a fixated scowl, and walked so freaking fast.
Now Yale: It was nice. But again, I'm going to have to restate the fact that there's no way in hell I'm getting in. Sorry Mom. Sorry Dad. =( Hehe.. one funny thing on the way home, was my "religious experience." On the highway heading back to New Jersey, we were driving next to GOD. I saw GOD. GOD was with us. Hehe! Get it? :D 7.11.2002
Round 3: NYU and ColumbiaThe city smelled, and my mom yelled at me for giving a homeless dude some money. Pictures tomorrow.. so sleepy.. gotta rest for Round 4. Update: Here are the pictures! :D First, NYU: Columbia: My feelings on NYU are kind of mixed.. They have this awesome liberal arts college in which you can pick whatever classes you want to take, and can leave out the ones you don't want..
And the ride home.. Ahh.. Round 2: CornellToday sucked. We had to wake up even earlier -- around 6:00am.. My dad didn't lose his glasses again, so that was alright, I guess. We drove about 5 hours up to Ithaca, NY.. and damn! It's in the middle of nowhere!!! I had to get home by 6:30 to get to my Calculus class, but we ran out of gas, so my dad had to jump out of the car and chase after people, screaming, "WHERE CAN I FIND GAS STATION!!" Fun stuff. Czech these babies out: Frank and Todd were there!!!! :D:D:D Mmm... toddicecream.... Eeehehehe!
I'm going to have to say, I didn't really like Cornell all that much.. I HATE HEIGHTS. UPenn was in downtown Philly, which I loved a lot. I love those stupid, cheap stores. The campus there was a lot prettier, too, methinks.. Yawn.. I have to wake up in about 3 hours to leave for Round 3!! EXCITEMENT!! :0 7.10.2002
Round 1: UPennToday was quite possibly one of the scariest days of my life. My dad woke me up really early so we could visit some colleges.. but we ended up leaving really late, because he couldn't find his glasses. Inevitable. So, instead of letting my mom drive, which would have been the rational thing to do, he decided to drive without his glasses. MY DAD IS BLIND. Well, not literally of course. But still. Damn. I feared for our lives. Here's some pictures taken from the car. To compensate for the shoddy quality, I shrank the pictures to a ludicrously small size. Some on-campus pictures.. Goodbye UPenn.. Anyway though, the scariest thing that happened today was not my dad weaving in and out of lanes amidst trucks and crazy taxi cabs, nor was it my dad narrowly avoiding smashing the car into concrete dividers on the turnpike and going down a one way street the wrong way. If you haven't read about it yet, czech it out on my regular blog.. here.. :D |
