Yesterday I got an email from a little TASPlet who told me he has the same interviewer as I had last year. That made me realize it's been a year since TASP interviews, which is sad and alarming and exciting to me. It means I'm about to go to college and that I've almost made it through this year without imploding. It also means that I haven't seen most of you in eight months and counting, and that we're rapidly moving towards another summer destined to be significantly less cool than the last.

On that mildly soulcrushing note, I have a gift for you all. I was going through files on my computer today and found some of the excellent videos made by Spencer on his phone to document the TASP experience. Here are the first couple, in all their boring, delightfully TASPy glory.


Note Tyler's use of the phrase, "we will love you...in a non-eros way" and Lynn's use of the Evil Glare. Also, we all look like we're falling asleep. Which we probably were.
