TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Sunday, August 22, 2004
I post to you from the land of telluride- Cornell is crazy, its wonderful- wonderfully large, and in many ways it reminds me of TASP- (not as much as I wish it would, but nonetheless :)
Perhaps I will seek out this spoken-of Jamie :)
Classes start on the 26th- I'm so excited-today was an open house for the College of Arts & Sciences, so i got to talk to all of the professors, and then there was also a great book panel on Kafka's The Trial (freshman reading) 4000 students hearing three professors each give 10 minute speeches, then answered questions and they were so tactful- i was so impressed by their eloquence, graceful responses to the most outlandish of questions- as you can imagine- 4000 students with such eclectic passions.
miss you guys much still- dreams of idyllic TASP colleges :)
