The worst part so far regarding HYP project selection is the wait. I've read through a long list of projects topics (I don't care what the admin people say. 1/2 of those were written in Greek), set up appointments, visited professors, experienced feelings that range from abject terror and total shock to i-don't-know-what-just-happened blurness, wrote emails to sell myself.

Now this.

The Wait. Having decided that I'll go about this responsibly, I sent off my first email to a professor and resisted the temptation to send out more emails to others. This means that I will not be accepted by more than one professor at a time, since I think that those who mass mail a whole bunch of professors at a time to ensure better chances of acceptance are selfish retards. Not being a selfish retard however, means that I continue to wait for one single professor to say Yea/Nay before making my next move. If Nay, I shall become one of those selfish retards previously described- ethics be damned.

Why the long wait you ask? Heck I'm not sure too. Who can be a better choice other than this young, brilliant, hansem, eloquent, lively, hardworking, well-read, courteous, motivated, humorous, self-aware and ambitious lad who wants to retire by 35? Stop laughing/puking/choking/rolling on the floor. I'm trying to make a point here, in case any prof stumbles across this blog (in which case I think I'll never get a HYP project). Here's my point:

Will HYP for FREE*

* Conditions apply:
1) Project topic must be in English. Psuedo-English or any other variant in disguise will be rejected. Profs with topics like "Porting Trimaran to the Virtex II Pro Platform FPGA" need not apply.
2) Filipino maid services not provided. Will not make, serve or treat kopi or tea, tidy your typhoon-hit office, clean your toilet, empty your trashcan, wash your laundry.
3) Will expect lots of flattery and a spectacular grade in exchange for free brainwork
