Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
There are definitely people who renege on letters of intent. Schools know that and know it's not a binding contract--there's no way they can get back at you. If you're asking if it's moral/ethical, I have no idea. I guess you'd be writing something that you knew was false.

Thanks... kind of... it is a last ditch attempt to stay in Cali, cuz if I get into either then it is true, I would drop all of my other acceptances, but if I get into both, which is somewhere inbetween impossible and in no way possible, then I would have to drop one of the them...
 
Is it actually Japanese or almost-Japanese?:laugh:

I'm kinda picky.:laugh::laugh::laugh:
but actually japanese in america is really different from actually japanese in japan. turst me.
Yeah, I also got that impression. Vadd, you got Hopkins, there's no need for tears. 😀
yeah vadd, you don't need em!
Lunch was good. Garlic shrimp 🙂

I had garlic chicken with onions and potatoes
both sound delicious. i was lazy >> Instant noodles, not even an egg haha
What do you consider insanely tall? I'm only 6'.
i'm 168cm does that make me super short?

168 centimeters = 5 feet, 6 5/32 inches

Oh, I know! I'm just trying to get even the slightest bit closer to an authentic (but still unavoidably americanized) taste. If you ever find yourself in Seattle, check out Fuji Sushi!👍
 
I missed Chad's height.....

How tall is he? Are we gonna mess up the quota for TWM? (Tall White Men)
 
Thanks! I don't think of myself as insanely tall? though. I'm "only" 6'4" which isn't freakish.

I think that is insanely tall... I blame my height genes... my grandmother is 4'11😱
 
Wait, so does Sushi in Japan taste different than Sushi here in the US?

6'4" is tall. That was the height at which I started having trouble finding pants.

The extra 3" has just made it worse.

Of course Funky, my grandmother was 4'11 too. 😛
 
I always think of myself as average at 6' 3/4" even though I know it's above average. Seems like younger ppl are taller these days, I guess.

very very different and i've been all over japan from hokkaido to tokyo to kyoto to osaka to nagasaki to nagoya to yokohama. the only major place i haven't been is okinawa
Ehehehe, I'll try to console myself with that thought.:laugh:


So's mine! My mom's 5'1"!
how tall are you?

and the stats confirmed my suspicions, new zealanders are taller!

My mom is 5'4''... she was the tallest out of her sisters...

Yah well the other side of my family is not that tall either... My dad is 5'8''...

Oh well, at least I am average heighted...
 
I'm just glad I have such fine, upstanding people to look up to.:laugh:👍
 
the dutch are apparently the tallest ppl in the world... that strikes me as weird.

Ooh, nice! I always wanted to go to Osaka. Great food and cheap!!

164cm.😳
 
transplant surgery is pretty intense. Pauline Chen came and spoke at our school which was pretty interesting...

Not really, they just developed calluses from wearing the wooden clogs, so those were passed on generation to generation causing them to get taller and taller...:laugh:

When I was in Kyushu we went to a ryokan and they served us a plate of raw horse meat... 😱 that was interesting.

How different is the taste?
 
blues, you want to help me lay the law on some hSDN kid who is a native-speaker of Japanese but wants to major in it for the easy A? I'd do it in Japanese, but I can't do that from work.:laugh:
 
Already converted it in a previous post... as much as I like the metric system, I cannot think of height using it....
i don't understand the x inches to 1 foot x what ever to x miles. too many math. 100 cm = 1 m, 1000m = 1 km. easy
Ooh, nice! I always wanted to go to Osaka. Great food and cheap!!

164cm.😳
you should definitely go sometime. you aren'ts short! at all
There are two things I can't stand in this world.
People who are intolerant of other people's cultures....
And the Dutch.

:laugh:
 
Well, at least you're not an Aussie!👍



Ooh, umazushi. How was that?

I didn't particularly like the texture. Most things that are considered delicacies in Japan I've found bland, as I mentioned before, from masutake to fugu...
 
Thanks! I don't think of myself as insanely tall? though. I'm "only" 6'4" which isn't freakish.
when you are 5 ft tall anything above 6'1 becomes freakishly tall. If you can use my head as an elbow rest you are freakishly tall 😀
 
I feel like we're sizing one another up as potential mates with this height discussion.

I am sorry if I seem sexist or offensive but I get weirded out by girls who are taller than me😳
 
Going to Japan will make anyone feel particularly tall/large though...

:laugh:
Oh, like 5280 isn't a perfectly memorable number.:meanie:

Yeah, I want to! I just need: a) passport, b) airfare, and c) time. Maybe next summer!👍😀

I certainly wouldn't be short there.:laugh:

did you have some ... i personally wouldn't
How different is the taste?
very different. i will describe later tonight, too lazy now and have to go soon

oh gosh, another one of those ...
I feel like we're sizing one another up as potential mates with this height discussion.
vadd, please post all your statistics including IQ, sat score and mcat socre
lol, nice! That's weird though, how can most of the world be below average? That seems counterintuitive.
yeah i think it's wrong. and i find sushi must more tasty in japan ... weird. do you go to sushi bars, coz thats where you get good sushi
Well, at least you're not an Aussie!👍



Ooh, umazushi. How was that?
i knowLOL we can laugh at aussies now. hehe. nz is greater than australia. proven!

Maybe the population averages in Asia are skewing it?

That's probably because you're just used to being the taller one. I think most men have that hang up (myself included).
