Nolan,

That picture of the snow on the grass in front of your lecture hall looks like a postcard - except for what looks like someone else taking a picture right smack-dab in the center!

Can’t wait to see you,

Dad

PS - I posted this comment elsewhere and realized it was out of place, so I posted it again here.

If I’m not mistaken, that “rhinoceros” is actually a triceratops. But it has been a long time since I though dinosaurs were the only thing for me.

Anyway, those are some sweet buildings… hooray East coast I guess.

Hope all is well.

Hey there, this is probably really random but I just happened to stumble across your blog and see that you are attending CMU. Right now I’m just in the midst of my senior year in high school and being that CMU is currently my top choice for college, I thought maybe you could provide me with any suggestions or insight. But if you could, that would be great! Thanks so much!

(I added my email if that’s easier to contact through)

Hi Nolan …

I wish you all the best in your endeveors at CMU. If you should ever feel the need for a home enviornment and a good homecooked dinner with Steve and I don’t hesitate to call. Of course pls include your roommate. Southwestern PA has some great sights … Frank Loydd Wright’s Falling Waters is a must … Steve has also never gone. If you have interest … a Sunday excursion once you get settled and into your routine might be of interest to you and your roommate. Take care. Kathi. 412-983-0779

Comment on College Admissions Counselors Talk…on MSNBC by Nolan

I definitely agree. One thing I would have to add is that when the applicant pool shrinks and you’re a borderline admit, it might be one of the things that puts you in their favor. This also bumps into the “online resume” idea where you can show off details of your large projects easily, whether it be programming applications, videos of performances, or a science fair project. This however, does not substitute for properly describing the scope of your projects inside your application (1st place in regional, etc.) Thanks for the comment James!
