What Are YOU Up To This Summer?! (2010 Edition) by Chris S. '11

Happy summer! smile

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.

    OH MY GOD INCEPTION WAS GENIUS.

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

    Now Chris, did you have to put up such a delicious picture? I’m so in the mood for mussels now! grin

  10. Banerjee says:

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

  11. Insorak says:

    INCEPTION WAS SO GOOD. Ahhhh! Philosophical discussions forever.

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

  12. Vinay says:

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

  13. Vinay says:

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

  14. genius ('18) says:

    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!

  15. Carol ('15?) says:

    Ahahaha. I love how there are separate amenities for “‰∏ÄÂè∑”(“number ones”) and “‰∫åÂè∑”(“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!*

  16. Anon says:

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

  17. '15 says:

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

  18. 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

  19. Ruslan'15? says:

    Oh! It looks like I’m jungry…

  20. Aditi says:

    The MIT Shrine photo smile

    You should put that up somewhere!

  21. Anupam Kumar says:

    Hey!

    I am a High School Student who just looked into the blog. Can I send my pics from Niagra falls?

  22. BenT2015 says:

    Uhhh…wanted to see Inception sooo bad, but was too busy with other things.
