The Telluride Application to Cornell is TASP-goer-specific. Michigan has this communal application (for TASPers and non-TASPers alike), so they're probably not going to be asking you anything about your personal experiences at TASP. As far as the questions go, I'll try to summarize them for you so that you can start on them quickly.
1.) Evaluate your experience at TASP--talk about anything!
2.) Talk about the benefits and disadvantages of group living, especially in connection with TASP and your hopes of living in the Cornell TASP house.
3.) Write about a topic that interests you.
4.) Include a sample of your written work, preferably something you wrote at TASP.
Happy application writing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!

Last night I listened to the Ninth Symphony of the old Ludwig Van, and was so proud of myself when I sat through the entire thing. Ironically, scenes from Singing in the Rain graced the news all morning in memory of the late Donald O'Connor.

I love how they've managed to post new pictures yet could not go over the course description to throw out all the titles we'd never managed to cover in our syllabus. This is mainly for Adam - [insert random chinese characters he can't read here] - notice how Bryan and I, the two represented in the photo from what now seems to have been firmly established as "the Asian invasion," are both Korean? :) KP, Bryan (and Susan), you taught me the meaning of the phrase. Now that Adam has rubbed off on me, might as well note more gender-based segregation in the group photo... And Alex (B), are those Jared's glasses you're wearing?

Thanks Kelsey, and Alex (Y) for sharing, the pictures make me genuinely happy.

Natashia, I know nothing of American universities, but I know Matthew had been saying a great deal about St. John's over TASP. Perhaps you'd look into emailing him?

I love you all so much--

I am for you what you want me to be the moment you look at me in a way you've never seen me before: at every instant.

y'all can say whatever you want about cixous; that quote kicks my ass, and yours too.

i bring it up because i'm currently writing a history paper comparing "the laugh of the medusa" to a gnostic gospel and an english paper doing a lacanian reading of heart of darkness then critiquing both lacan and conrad. i think this just proves how much i want to be tara (or dr. chapelle).

i'm clinging so hard to our readings because 1) i haven't really read anything before or since and 2) i miss y'all like a motha. susan, i think there were a lot of ridiculous and sublime things that occurred at tasp, most of which aren't appropriate for a college essay or a public blog. made me nostalgiac for suite 2-0-whatever-we-were....anyone else up for a maxipad phone conference? me & tara & aimee are pretty much in the same time zone (well, close enough), but i bet if we picked a date we could all get our asses on the phone - and my cell phone has free long distance! let me know, chickies....

but hmm, some college appropriate things - how about discussing "tart reform" with dr. foley? or trying to lure jacob away from his work with the monster mash? anything robot or yablon related...those freaking godawful puns...ddr, although that goes without saying...probably the only literary occurence of a toga in the adpi house...that one sunday night where we dressed up fancy for goulash (please sir, i want some more)...frequent trips to the toy store....the flea infestation...the state of me and aimee's room (messy rooms=busy minds...right? right, guys?)...adrian & jared sleeping together the first night...adam giangkowski...the smell of kim chee...eastside vs. jew crew...and, of course, my favorite tasp memory (and probably the least college-appropriate): the intro to jacob's pubspeak.

oh yeah - alex yablon tipped me off to our sexy faces gracing the tasp website (one step away from the brochure, baby). there's a very adrian-centric shot here (aren't adrian & adam like THE multicultural gay couple in this shot?), a contemplative aimee here, and - the topper - bryan and tae-yeoun looking studious as hell. on the first TASP page, no less - score one for the asian invasion (damn.) okay, shaddup already, kelsey.

posted by Kelsey   [11:04 AM]

Susan, what comes to mind is not necessarily a shared experience, but a truly sublime line from Jacob's first paper. He did a Longinus eval of Cat in the Hat, and the last sentence of his first paragraph went something like - oh no, when I try to quote him I can't - Longinus speaks of the dangers of producing work that is not sublime that turns out puerile, but Dr. Suess manages to take the puerile and make it sublime. Oh no, the quote turned out really bad when I tired to paraphrase it. Ask Jacob. In any case, I think our most silly moments were all magnificent combinations of both the puerile and the sublime...

posted by Tae-Yeoun Keum   [1:31 AM]

Hmm...the economic side of our great academic experience. What college are you using the "TASP experience" for, oh pragmatic one?

posted by Eunice   [4:42 PM]

I wasn't planning on posting today, but yet another connection to TASP came up. I was coming home, when one of my friend's father pulls out a magazine entitled "The Minnesota Chemist," and hands it to me. I see my picture, along with the pictures of 4 other students, working away in the lab section of the National Chemistry Olympiad exam. Below all the pictures is a caption that reads: "Proudly representing Minnesota's chemistry society." So there you have it...Proudest of being a Chemist.
A Dr. Monus cult sounds intriguing. I'll have to pick up a copy of Vico before I blog on. That's all for now.

posted by Eunice   [3:13 PM]

As Jacob has begun a Dr. Monas cult, we [Jacob and I, conveniently online at the same time - thanks Adam for corrupting me with the evils of AIM] have taken advantage of the resources of our technological era and have googled him. Highlights of the results: the only picture of him on google image search, and a result title that reads: "Sidney Monas, St" (it continues on to St. Petersberg, 'but the line break is so fortuitous,' says Jacob).

We had no luck in finding his birthday (saint's day) and Jacob has suggested three alternatives: "i think we may have to email him," "just choose a day and declare it monasday," or "oh, should we make it vico's birthday? ... 6/23"

So we have to come to a decision, preferably without a house meeting debate. "oh, we can call it saint monas day," says Jacob. When will St. Monas Day be?

ahhhhhh international pirate day is over, I am free to write to you all (not y'all) without worrying about the dearth of 'ay matey's' in my post.
A friend was talking to me today about a new screenplay idea she had, and she was so excited to explain it she was tripping over her words. I was scared she was going to start drooling. "ya" she said, " I'm so excited about it. It just came to me tonight as I was taking a shower..."

Hey guys,

I just thought y'all might like to know that this Friday, the 19th, is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. There is a website (www.talklikeapirate.com) and there were signs up all over my school. I stole one, in case any of you want a copy (just mail/email me). :0) I wish I could see the blog from my home computer so that I could keep up with you guys! :( Oh well. Hope you're all holding up well against the ravages of
senior year.

PS TASP just keeps inspiring me--a few days ago I was doing a writing exercise for my poetry class, and we
had to write a love poem to something, so, thinking back to Tara's pubspeak about barbed wire, I wrote
about mesh. I miss you all...

posted by Tae-Yeoun Keum   [11:45 PM]

Thank you, Jacob, for sharing the passage from The New Science - that "myth about myths that tries to explain myth." I was actually going through my Vico notes this weekend as I revisited my TASP notebook getting the July calendar together (please help me fill in the dates, everyone) and I noticed in a particularly messy box amidst the mess of notes I'd taken in a hurry that I had decorated with underlines and stars - "man makes himself rule of universe. formed by metaphor, begins in relation to HUMAN BODY. man becomes all things by not understanding (<-> Descartes) when man understands, he takes in things. When not, he leaves them outside of himself and becomes part of it." Thank you for clarifying this to me; I'd been very sorry to have forgotten what it was.

I actually have more to ask about Vico now that you've made me look over my increasingly enigmatic notes, but I'll take time to form real questions before I start rambling as I always do. So until then, I have something else to share:

Just ten minutes ago I remembered an artist I wanted to research for class whose name I had scribbled on a post-it and stuffed in the unused pocket of my flute case. When I fished out the post-it a thin strip of paper came up with it, and it read: "Jacob Eigen."

hi guys. just using the blog to exploit your reasonably remarkable minds and plague you with questions, but in hawaii, there is a huge drug problem, mostly centered around weed and alcohol(which no one really cares about that much anymore) and ice (which is horribly addictive and caustic and ridiculously easy to make). if you were to try and eradicate the ice problem, what would you do? people have had ideas of youth centers kind of like the underground at texas to give people other stuff to do- other people say that people would just get drunk/high before going- they'd do both, so it wouldn't solve anything- what do you folks think?

Hey guys--

The poems are up! You ought to be very excited, because over 90 pages' (Olga!!!) worth of pure poetry have now been html[ifi]ed and posted onto the webpage. My infinite gratitude to Jacob, Olga, and Alex B. for sharing their poems and trusting me with the format - please, tell me if anything needs to be fixed. Or, feel free to go in the site yourself and reformat/correct/add/censor to your taste. [special note to olga: I couldn't get the russian to show up, sorry... please check if there's anything else that needs to be censored :0) ]

I've also made the skeletons of a calendar that all of you need to help fill in. :) The calendar is here. To add events just log in under the geocities account and edit one of the following html files: july03.html, aug03.html, sept03.html, or oct03.html - the formatting's a bit messy because I'm clumsy with html (by the way alex, I finally figured out what you were talking about when you said there were errors on the page - it turns out that every html page I make has some error in it that I can't identify so it wasn't your fault at all) but hopefully you can figure it out... You may have noticed we have July and August calendars - I've revisited my notebooks from TASP and tried to reconstruct the timeline to the best of my ability, but there are still many, many holes in what I've managed to put together. So please, help me fill those July/August dates in as well...

Oh God, it's three in the morning - I think I'm slowly making my way to switching back to Texas time. I miss you all so indescribably much--

Love always,

Eunice, I represent the earthling residents of Philippines in welcoming you to its beautiful islands. It's a tropical paradise here, with dolphins jumping about outside the window and palm trees dropping coconuts on unaware swimmers... okay fine, it's typhoon season now (so the coconuts are in fact falling, but no one would be swimming) but I promise you it will be beautiful in the winter. Please, please stop over on your way to Taiwan, it's only an hour or two's plane ride away, and plane tickets to the Philippines are cheaper than ever now that all the foreign investors have backed off.

There's no need to say the invitation has always been extended to all of you. (I actually had a funny dream this afternoon in which Adam came to visit on his way to Vietnam to deliver snow... perhaps it's because I'd been reading about jellyfish just before I fell asleep)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEY!

posted by Tae-Yeoun Keum   [5:10 AM]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!! There..I had to get all of that "creative melancholy" out of me. But now, without that deck/patio area (overlooking the pool) to scream by, cathartic screams really don't seem as effective anymore. That's not to say that their not effective at all...cathartic scream, anyone?
Tae-Yeoun, my mom was talking about the possibility of our entire family going back to Taiwan for Christmas to visit my ailing grandpa, and she even mentioned that I might possibly take a detour in our trip to another set of islands in the Pacific...(glorious! victory dance ensuing...). Unfortunately, my parents soon discovered the prices of traveling in the winter holiday season (multiple tears). As much as that saddens me, it also shows that there is a possibility, however small, that a small scale TASP reunion in the Phillipines may not be as far-fetched as you make it sound...
I keep seeing all of you manifested in other students at my school. Though they serve as daily reminders of you guys, the problem is that they are reasonably less remarkable than all of you, so I have to make an effort not to let them pollute my perfect memories of my reasonably remarkable friends.

Oh my goodness, my heart has begun to beat in Sapphic verse now that I suspect that I'd had Kelsey's birthday wrong the whole time. Isn't it the 10th? Kelsey?

You're right, Bryan, I'd completely forgotten about the manic depressive calendar. What puzzles me though is that the theory behind it had something to do with sunlight, so it really shouldn't affect me (or Eunice) because I live without ever seeing sunlight...

I am embarassed to confess that I've been slacking off and have put off those ten pages of Borges, and have not started the calendar, nor my sestina, nor the poetry section to go up on the webpage. But just to let you know that I do feel very remorseful about my laziness.

hey guys! yay I finally was able to get on to the blog and read all of the posts from like August 13 or wherever i had stoppedbefore. anyhow, I have another excellent idea that I will emphatically insist upon until it happens and then forget all about it (like the reading thing.. though I did read penal colony) Anyhow, since we can't actually have an in person reunion- could we have some sort of time that we could all log on to aim or something and have a communal chat thing for just like ten minutes? btw my offer still stands- comevisit me!111111. but otherwise life is going great, i'llupdate you guys on it later but I went to the maui writers conferencelast weekend (terry brooks sponsored 3 people at our school to go and it was great, but it is four days straight of speaker after speaker, and every once in a while its nice to sit one out)and my friend and i were waiting for the next speaker to start, and i got all excited about having a sestina party, so we each put words in, and were ready to go, then I realized that I didn't know the format. anyhow, now i have 12 words, well eleven, one blew away, but i think they're pretty good words so if anyone feels like pilfer-ing them, go for it, (i'm picking my six favorite and doing one now, even though the sestina party was spoiled) here they are: wind, sunday, lukewarm, lapping, meander, swimming, scent, red, yesterday, leaves, church

thank you, adrian, for that awesome dose of dolphin sex talk. i've missed that greatly in the month or so since tasp...

library of babel.
am so excited to do this story - and promise to answer jacob's question, once i sleep on it, but let me just go against all of our seminar rules (as usual) and NOT build on the thing in the middle.
i thought one of the coolest parts of the story was on page 84 and 85 (working out of our copy of Ficciones), where he notes that "each book is unique, irreplaceable, but (inasmuch as the Library is total) there are always several hundreds of thousands of imperfect facsimiles - of works which differ only by one letter or one comma." i like that - it sort of offsets (very slightly) the nihilism (i know i'm using that word incorrectly - correct me, please?) of the rest of the piece. this is what it reminds me of. i know the rest of you will laugh, but i'm hoping tae-yeoun will get it - it reminds me of computer solitaire. see, i have this compulsion where if i start a game, i don't want to close the window, even if i have work to do or even if i'm terribly bored of the game, because i'm worried that i'm never going to get to play this game again, that once i close the window it will disappear into the ether and never come up again. and, statistically, it probably won't - but a imperfect facsimile will, and that makes me relax and stop shaking. this book has changed my life! so many wasted hours of solitaire playing, regained! thank you jorge luis!

I don't usually leave messages on the blog, but something happened yesterday that I thought you'd all enjoy; I went to this marine mammal class at the Shedd, and for about four hours learned about how to artificially inseminate a pacific white-sided dolphin.

Kri and Tique, two females at the shedd, are currently pregnant, and the presentation was just to keep the volunteers apprized about how to evacuate guests when labor starts ('red alert') and how things work inside of the two ladies. ... The first calves will probably die, but the artificial insemination part was successful and is a really ground-breaking procedure (to do on this type of dolphin. You don't really want to know why it's difficult).

O, there were actually a couple of videos that would have been X-rated had people been doing them, i.e. Tique with a male, and the lengthy process by which sperm is collected from the male in Japan. ... ha. O, we also saw several really sad videos of miscarriages and calf-deaths. ...

In feb, I get to switch to the Marine Mammals dept. I am really excited (no pun intended).

So, how is everyone? Enjoying your classes? Done any of your applications? .. right. cya

Wow, I've been out of it. I don't have internet connection except when I visit the computer lab at the University of NE campus, so the Kafka discussion came and went without my contributions. I recomend the Library of Babel to the next reading list, one of my all time favorites of anything.

Actually, Tara, I'm not letting you off on the saltshaker, because I'm not entirely sure how I lost it either. I just remember washing my book one night and finding it gone the next morning.

I have most of the birthdays in my head, especially the ones that have been stamped in through constant reminder (i.e. the ones I kept forgetting over TASP and so had to ask multiple times). John's I still have a problem with because it's on one of those inconspicuous November days... I have actually been thinking of putting up a calendar (not unlike Tara's most brilliant calendar on the Secret Headquarters wall) on the webpage, because even now I can't learn how to work the template of the blog. So that's coming up as soon as Tae-Yeoun gets her extended essay out of the way. (I'm sorry)

One last bit of trivial information for Susan, Aimee, or anyone interested in Sylvia Plath's life: Brian and I are more familiar with Diane Middlebrook, who wrote a really long biography on Anne Sexton that was relatively useless to our research - but her new book, Her Husband, is apparently coming out on October 13 (three days before Alex's birthday!) for anyone interested. It's about Sylvia Plath's and Ted Hughes' marriage. (So no, Matthew, Sylvia Plath was not single)

In case the calendar doesn't happen as soon as it should, the upcoming September birthdays are Monica's (the 9th), Kelsey's (the 10th), and Tara's (the 28th) if I remember correctly.

posted by Tae-Yeoun Keum   [7:11 AM]

Tara, as a TEXAN, you should feel privileged that I am offering you a box of fresh, oxygen-deprived air - unlike your stinky, humid hotness... I can't even bring myself to call it "air." Besides, if you ever came to Colorado (slogan: "The Air is Rare up Here...", "Denver - the Mile High City", or if you prefer, "the Troubled State..."), I might be kind enough to just give you a box (that goes for all of you.)
Lol - I'm glad one of us is actually able to hold Telluridean conversations outside of TASP. I certainly am not. Our seminars consist of the teacher dictating what she wants us to interpret and then shooting down whatever I have to say... Discouraging to say the least...
Oh, and I completely agree with David - we need to make a Reasonably Remarkable Calender (Tara's?) so we can stay on top of things (like birthdays). It would also be nice to use of book reading club dates. (By and by, I agree with you Kelsey. It might be interesting to read some of the Ficciones or some more Kafka ("the complete stories" only $15.00 - please buy, please buy.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSAN AND PROFESSOR RANDALL!

i keep meaning to write in and update, but then i realized i've done nothing in the month or so (gasp) since tasp except eat a lot and stress out about college. oh, and not do my summer assignments, even though school starts tomorrow for me (ack).

bird by bird is all right, but a bit too self-help for good discussion, and i wouldn't wish the pain of repeating the book of merlyn on any of you lovelies. might i suggest reading some more borges if we're going to do book club stuff again (i don't get to suggest, i didn't contribute to the kafka!) we could just pick one story (library of babel and the garden of forking paths are both really cool) or try more - it reads REALLY fast. also, me and brian schultis already finished, so we're like ahead and stuff, which would definitely be a first for me.

sestinawise, i'm down, although i think renegade is about as kind as, say, coelacanth (grr on you, bryan). my word is "straight", because it's the 666th most common word in the english language (what a dork i be).

anyway. i have to go dye my hair (certain preparations must be made for the first day of school). i am dreading it because i keep expecting that once i go back to school i will see alex y. in architecture class or have, say, susan and jacob breaking it down in my english class. unfortunately, it is not to be (although i did have an almost tasp-ish conversation with a classmate the other day, as i was telling olga).

i am perturbed and excited by the repeated appearance of the famous jett jackson in our recommended searches list, and so i will whisper "lee thompson young, lee thompson young" under my breath to keep him up there. goodnight, boys and girls, and may school treat you (and me) well tomorrow (or thursday, you lucky bastid yablon).

posted by Kelsey   [9:36 PM]

Oh, by and by, if we are done with the Kafka, may I suggest that we read either the rest of "the book of merlyn" (some of you have already done so...) or "bird by bird" (which I began reading and found that it is helping me immensely with my day-to-day life... though not my writing. I would recommend it to Jacob - but I wouldn't know whether asking him to read it would make him more stressed or whether it would help him ease whatever sufferings he may now endure...)
