TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Tuesday, May 30, 2006
Thanks, Bryan, I echo the sentiment very strongly. I must apologize myself for having been (and still am) missing in action. I pretend I'm too busy while school's in session, then when I get home I realize I'm really sick of looking at computer screens. [Yalies: I owe you both some long emails, I apologize - I'll get them done before I leave Manila]

So, everyone, what are you all up to and where will you all be?

Olga, tell us about your plans for France! Adrian, about India-or-Taiwan, whichever you decided (for the summer, then for the rest of the year). Kelsey? Is there a chance you'll be in Germany for the World Cup? (Speaking of World Cup, who's excited? The American team was remarkable four years ago and they're expected to be brilliant this year. Much, much more exciting than what I saw last Thanksgiving break of what you insist on calling 'football.') And JACOB! PLEASE tell us where you're headed!

Here's a brief update on my life: I'm spending the next two days as a beached whale in Manila. I fly back across the Pacific on Friday, lose a couple of days on the Date Line and will be spending the rest of the summer in New Haven, learning ancient Greek at Yale. It'll be a party. [Anyone in New York?] Also over the summer, I will hopefully give some thoughts to junior year. How are we juniors already? We were juniors when we applied to TASP!

Ciao a tutti--

I was speaking to a few of my old friends still in high school just yesterday, which reminded me that today is the day for college matriculation. Jacob, sorry for singling you out so bluntly, but where are you going to be next year?
