I was reading the introduction to Crime & Punishment — it’s long and I want to start off the new year actually reading the book, not just the intro — and I keep reading the name Boris, but it doesn’t actually look like the name Boris because it looks like this to me: Бори́с. I am not even kidding. That is all I see.
I mean, in the book, it is actually written Boris,...

*high five* Adcoms need at least ONE “WTF?” moment. I believe.
I wasn’t kidding, though.
…well, actually. I’m not sure, L O L. I was a pathological liar when I was younger. Half of my childhood is made up, I think. So now the difference is discernible.
THIS WORRIES ME.

“I told Harvard that Quetzalcoatl invaded my dreams & stole my sleep.”
This was my reply to a friend’s post.
And that is honestly what I wrote about in my essay for Harvard. (Well…amongst other experiences in Mexico City.)
I am quality, clearly.

Tell me how you like it!! It’s on my list.
Of course! I plan to upload my favourite quotes from it as well, as I read through it.
falaz replied to your photo:I am not 100% as to where I am going to celebrate…
EEEEEE! Easily one of my favorites. Although, I think I like Notes from the Underground a bit more. But ugh, classic. I’m in the middle of reading it for the third time :3
Ugh, Notes from the Underground. YES.
I’ve had the copy for loads of time, I just haven’t gotten around to reading it. But I...

Initially, it was going to be on Blogspot, but they didn’t have the url I wanted, and so I went with livejournal. Besides, I’ve had a few accounts before, so I know how to work with it and such.
I’m going to try to write at least ONE line for each day of 2011, whether it be my own writing or someone else’s. Possibly a photo.
I’m crap at keeping diaries, journals,...

An essay that is only reminding me of my grandmother who I miss and Mexico City, which I also miss, and gazpacho which is oh-so-delicious. (Not the soup — the cut-up fruit and such from Morelia.)
I leave you all with the image of something that may look a bit difficult to eat, but is heaven when it is in your mouth.

“Sweets sweeter, colours brighter, the bitter more bitter. A cage of parrots all...”
– Sandra Cisneros, Caramelo (2002)
There is something about Cisneros’ depiction of la Ciudad that is always evocative to me, but particularly nowadays, what with México’s drug wars. El DF does have a sense of innocence, and although it’s been years since I’ve last been there,...

ALL I WANT TO SEE IS THE USMNT but I kind of want to see them during the summer because of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The interview is in Basque. Sorry, but my knowledge of Basque extends to a few greetings and simple sentences. Anyone willing to translate?

If you make another account, you need your transcripts and the recommendations for that new account as well. Contact CommonApp or Stanford first, then try every other option. But start doing so now, please

But I can make another account, apparently.
Although I still need to contact Stanford.
cuandomenospienses replied to your post: WELP.
Wait, what happened.
You know the essay button choices? You know how the top one is “your experience” or whatever, and the second one is the matter of local, etc importance? I clicked the second one instead of the first one, submitted the app to Stanford before I saw it, and now I can’t change it on any other school’s app,...
WELP.
I accidentally pressed the wrong button for the essay portion the Common App.
And I already submitted it to Stanford, so I can’t change it.
TO ALL MY FUCKING HARDWORK.
I’m going to go die now.

Looks like an all-nighter (unless I get tired.)
Okay.
