i've noticed a lot of people posting about this recently...

Dear 2006 Summer Program Participant,

If you recently received an email about a *2007* Summer Programs course assignment, please disregard it. It was sent to you in error. The problem stems from an email error only and does not affect student records in any way. Please accept our apologies.


Thank you,

CROSS-POST, so sorry if youre seeing this more than once:
dear all williams students, ctyers who know williams students, or even people who live near williams,
im planning a visit for two weekends from now (the 28-30 october) and i was wondering if there would be any ctyers there who would be willing to put me up for a few days, or let me know if that would be a good time to visit at all, what with midterms and all happening at a bunch of schools. if you dont think itd be the best time to visit, though, for whatever reasons, do let me know. to all other ctyers taking the sats tomorrow, good luck and godspeed.
sincerely, and with much love and sympathy,
jay

Hi, my name is Bergit and I was at CTY Lacaster , second session, 2005. I was just woundering...are their any other CTY sites besides Lancaster that have an Alcove?

Just FYI for all you Lancastrians:

Mr. (Rich) Groff, the old site director, is having some health issues.

He had open heart surgery two weeks ago. He had had a heart attack in his sleep, and went into the hospital with flu symptoms, and ended up having emergency open heart surgery later on that day. He's now out of the hospital and doing well. We're all expecting him to be back at school after christmas.

But if you could just keep a thought out for him, that'd be great.

Hey! Are any of you CTY ladies going to the Bryn Mawr Fall Preview Days on Oct. 2nd and 3rd? I am. I just thought it might be cool to see some fellow forevermores. :)

At LMU Session two this year we had Emo Day and Pajama Day. I don't know if anyone cares but yeah... Also we basically made Aaron Carter canon.

So I made a community for CLI.. Half because I loved it and it was amazing, and half because I'm bored out of my mind at work.

It issss 👁 Image

It's a bit of a work in progress, and any input is much appreciated.

Cross-posted in every C-- community I know of.. Sorry.

Recently I decided to try to teach my Larper friends about Scum the Masquerade, a card game I learned at CTY. I seem to remember there being expanded rules for "non-Cam" powers, but an in-depth Google has only turned up the standard set of rules. Does anyone know what happened to the extra rules, or where I might find a copy?
I apologize if this isn't really on CTY topic, but it's the best way I could think of to ask as many ctyers as possible.

Here at CTYI in Dublin, a history of the American Pie tradition is being compiled. Yes, it's here as well. Anywho, we have a basic outline of how the tradition came about, but if you have any information as to its history it would be greatly appreciated if you shared it with us. Information on the chant (DIE DIE DIE DIE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE SEX SEX SEX SEX MORE MORE MORE MORE) is needed especially. Please refrain from sharing little stories that start with "this one time..." that took place within the last 5 years between you and your friends. We're trying to find out how this tradition started and its early history.

What we have so far:
It was played last at the first CTY dance of the first CTY, which took place in the 70s when American Pie was in the charts. It was requested at subsequent dances, so its being played became a tradition. Certain elements of the tradition that go along with the lyrics are more or less self-explanatory (kicking off shoes, screaming, etc.), but we don't have a definitive origin for the chant yet.

In addition, origin stories for any other traditions are more than welcome.

I have a CTY job opportunity for you all.

The only real restriction is you have to be male. But if you know a guy who is looking, pass this on to them.

It pays $2100 for 6 weeks (which is more than menial jobs in your area will pay).

It's a Resident Assistant position in . It’s right next to the ocean and part of the free food they feed you is seafood!

It looks great on a resume because you are employed by .

You get free parking, housing, food and gym. The only thing you pay for is travel to and from the site (so if you live in , you may not want to do this).

You get plenty of time off.

You work with 60 staff and roughly 200 kids (5^th and 6^th grade).

It's located at in It is located 70 miles east of .

It goes from June 20-August 8.

Now when you read this, you may read something that says “3.2 GPA desired” but that just means it’s desired not required. Email him if you have any interest at all even if you don’t think you fit the qualifications!

If you are interested, email ctymichael@jhu.edu AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Hey guys.
- How much do you get paid to be an RA?
- How much do you get paid to be a TA?
- How much do you get paid to be a professor (that sounds so funny, since we all just call them by their first names, I love C--)?
- How much did attending C-- cost this coming summer?

Any input would be great. For my computers class we have to do a business proposal, I was assigned to do a summer art camp, and since C-- is what I know and love, I based it off that. The next part of my presentation is financials, and I'd love to have something that wasn't completely bullshit.

Hey CTYers.
My name is Tasia Brooks and I just thought I'd say hi.
I attended JHU session 2 in 2003 for Service Learning and LAN session 2 in 2004 for Crafting the Essay.
Just curious if anyone here remembers me, or attened at the same times.

me:

JHU 2K2 session 2 (it's a quipthing! eiou!) for ISCI (intro to lab sciences)
CAR 2003 session 1 genetics
i was SUPPOSED to go back last tummer car 01 for latin, but the rents pulled me ::tear::

did any of you go to lancaster at anytime in the last 14- or-so years? the site director (mr. groff) is now the head of the religion department at my school.

For anyone going on financial aid this year, have you gotten your letter about it yet? I applied maybe a week after early registration opened, and sent my financial aid stuff in about a week after that. I keep getting things about what course I got, and financial statements and whatnot, but nothing about if i got a scholarship. Everything I get has a section saying that if I haven't received my financial aid information, to call JHU, but whenever I do, they tell me not to worry, that they're not done processing anything.

So, long story short, anyone want to tell me if they know what's going on?
If you've gotten your financial aid already please tell me; if i don't get it this year i can't go, so i'm really worried.

X-POSTED UP THE HEEZY.

may i play with your lightsaber? *lecherous grin*

hello. storytime.

a friend of mine my second year, nick, was in the carlisle lip sync. he did his to weird al yankovic's american pie parody (bye bye mr anakin guy...that one). he had this big encompassing brown cloak that was his jedi robe and a fake lightsaber that he got to swing around. after the lip sync me, him, and our friends todd and josh were all standing around waiting in line for ice cream. i am struck with an evil idea.

todd: should i be afraid of that look?
me: yes. yes you should. *turn to nick* *in lecherous voice* may i play with your lightsaber, nick?

todd's eyes nearly popped out of his head. he was doubled over laughing and i thought he was about to fall on the ground and have a seizure (todd was still a little gawky). "good god, carley! do not ever say that to a man!!"

the entire session i tormented all three of those boys. "may i play with your lightsaber?" at the most random moments. asking them right before we went in for class usually had fun effects. by the end of the session all i had to say was lightsaber and they got the idea. i arrived at CTY this past summer for my third year and josh was the only one still there (todd and nick were nomores my second year). he was one of the first people i saw. he laughed when he saw me and i asked what was so funny. he responded "i see you and i just can't help thinking, lightsaber!"

Hi everyone...new to this community, Bristol 2002 session 1 Writing the Expository Essay (went by Lyz) , 2003 session 2 philosophy (usually called Rachael here...that would be my real name...and had green hair) and 2004 session 2 intro to logic (known mainly by Pirate).

ANYWAY I am here to express my anger at the fact that my site does not do Passionfruit. I don't know if this is because it's a CAA site not CTY...do the others do it? But my brother, who goes to Siena every year, explained to me what it is and I, being a nevermore, felt SO left out. And I think I am going to get myself a passionfruit juice and do it by myself...any others can join if you live near me but I doubt that.

Also, if there are any other CAA people who feel left out in the CTY communities, there is now a caa_alltheway, which I monitor, created almost completely out of spite for this RA who thought he was cooler than everyone at Bristol just because he went to CTY, and he 'can't believe they assigned him to a fake CTY site'. So I'm not saying all CTYers are like this, I have many friends who are, but really we need our space too, right? Okay maybe not. But please join because it's cool!

Thanks you guys are all awesome because you're cty people

Maybe people could put their seperate legends in seperate posts, rather than comments, so their easier to read? It's so cool for an old-timer to realize some of this stuff is still remembered!!


(okay, I'll admit, a lot of me is mostly interested in what's remembered at Saratoga....)
