So I hope you guys have been checking out my China pictures, they're really amazing and I have a lot of cute ones of me. I know there are a lot to go through, but I swear there are some real gems of China in there (wow I try to spell gems like jeams... wtf?).
Anyway, Saturday I visited RPI on their accepted
students day. I guess I like RPI, I mean it's pretty and the people are smart, and the campus is so green and familiar. (plus I'm already friends with the Pride club and the Japanese club) But, they got rid of their language programs, so until they get that back, there is NO CHANCE of me going there. Even if they bring back Japanese, I'm not sure I'd want to go because they don't have East Asian Studies at all (and probably never will).(this is RPI, by the way) --------->
yeah it was that crowded
Today I spent the day at Union's Accepted Student Day. I was pretty disappointed with Union. All the classes I went into were basically like what I image high school at Shaker must have been like. The students didn't talk until the teacher forced a very uncomfortably long bought of silence, and usually their answers were ridiculously obvious and silly. I was shocked that these kids didn't seem any smarter (and sometimes less smart) than people in my classes right now!
Although, Union has a fantastic neuroscience program... I mean they have a psychology side, biology side, and computer science side... it's perfect! But, it doesn't matter how good a program are if the students aren't willing to meet it.
In fact the whole day was pretty hum drum... they certainly didn't take as good care of us as RPI did. Union is currently at the bottom of my list.
Oh god please let Carnegie Mellon pull through... I don't know what I'm going to do with my life if I have to sit through the utter mediocrity that is the schools I've been admitted to.
I'm not sure what I'll do if I'm forced to go to a mediocre school... I'll have to accept that I must be only... "average" if that is the best I can do... shit guys...

The English spell jail "gaol." Not sure why I know that...
You should've applied to OSU! We have Japanese *and* East Asian Studies *AND* our name looks like Osu! (Downside is, there are anti-choice demonstrations on campus. And if you think RPI is mediocre...)
I don't know that classes would be much more active elsewhere. At least not until you get to the higher levels.
But know this: You are definitely *not* average. Or mediocre. You are awesome.
oh edward <3
