Nazism

| | Comments (2)

So, I'm here in New Mexico at the Summer Science Program, and everthing is going quite well. I don't have much time to explain, but basically we've just been doing some preliminary things and haven't yet selected our asteroids for orbit determination. Overall, everyone is very nice, although some are a tad on the arrogant side, but I think that will pass when they realize that they actually aren't any smarter than anyone else. I thought I was arrogant and pompous (although unintentionally, I might add)... there are some people here who blow me out of the water completely. Speaking of being an arrogant person, I got my SAT II scores back today, and it looks like Colin Corbett might not be the only SAT Nazi in our quiet quandrant of town. I got 800 on the physics, math II, and US History. Of course, that's only because there's a significant curve for SAT IIs, but it's still in the top few percentiles regardless. Unfortunately they don't show you how many problems you miss online, so I'll bask in this small period of glory before I realize that I actually missed 5+ problems on each. Colin probably is better than me, but I already accepted that. Oh well. As if this egotistical one-upmanship of multiple-choice testing actually had any real significance... Adieu!

I got a 790 on physics, and 800s on the others. But I have the excuse of only having 1 year of Fellerian physics under my belt.

Haha, oh Colin. That's not exactly lamentable I suppose [sense the sarcasm]. Well good. You should go to Yale. Harvard may have a better musicology program, but Harvard is overrated on an order of magnitude around 10^100.
