Posted in: Miscellaneous

AUGUST 10 Update!

I'm bumping this to the top of the page (shameless, I know - it's ok, I have no shame :P).

Just letting you know that I have received a lot of entries from y'all (during the time when I visited 7 countries in Europe :p) but I know there might still be awesome pics out there! Don't let go of your chance to fame and glory on the MIT Admissions page! :)

Contest closes this weekend, and the winners will be posted by next weekend! :) Stay tuned.

I agree. Inception was a great film.

Hopefully my picture is cool enough to be featured.

OH MY GOD INCEPTION WAS GENIUS.

Am going to catch it a second time if I get to. =) Absolutely phenomenal.

Posted by: Justin on July 25, 2010

I watched Inception!! - it was stupefyingly astonishing, and even that's an understatement.

Posted by: Banerjee on July 25, 2010

INCEPTION WAS SO GOOD. Ahhhh! Philosophical discussions forever.

/me will now bring his camera everywhere he goes. And hopefully snipe something super awesome.

Inception brought back my initial interest in DMT. You guys should check out this seriously cool drug. wink

Posted by: Vinay on July 26, 2010

^
I wasn't trying to condone using DMT, nor was I implying me using it. I simply meant looking into it. tongue laugh

Posted by: Vinay on July 26, 2010

OHHH MAANNNN!
"Learn to poop asian style" HAHAHAHAHA...
Ohh...that's PRICELESS. Anyone who's been to Asia will know what it means.
As for Inception,It really is one of the best movies of all time! Have Fun!

Posted by: genius ('18) on July 26, 2010

Ahahaha. I love how there are separate amenities for "一号"("number ones") and "二号"("number twos")... raspberry
But methinks the "best" thing about Asian signs is when some of the stuff they're trying to say gets "lost" in translation - Engrish, anyone? xD

*plans to send some pics soon...they just need to be shrunk down first!*

Posted by: Carol ('15?) on July 28, 2010

This is the most boring summer of my life. Seriously.

Posted by: Anon on July 29, 2010

yes! Inception was AWESOME *-*
and my favorite haiku ends with "hippopotamus"!!
O:
geez, introducing foreigners to Asia is kinda difficult, no?
maybe I should send something from that Chinese school I'm teaching mentoring babysitting Science class at raspberry

Posted by: MIT Applicant '11 on July 31, 2010

oops! i just realized that i should be "MIT Applicant '15" if I'm graduating high school class of '11. . .

Posted by: '15 on July 31, 2010

Oh! It looks like I'm jungry...

Posted by: Ruslan'15? on August 10, 2010

Posted by: Aditi on August 11, 2010

Posted by: Anupam Kumar on August 12, 2010
