Wow! I suck ...
As I expected, I kept up with the journal for like a week -_-' oh well.
I'm back for however long I can manage this time. Let's see ... what's going on with me?
-Classes just started. I decided that I'm not going to major in Course 16 (aeronautical and astronautical engineering) because it's full of uninteresting material, bad teachers, and obnoxious undergrads who are all from frat houses :( Why can't building space ships be awesome?
I'm not sure what I'm going to major in now. Maybe biology or chemistry or physics. I'm in an Organic Chemistry class, a Biology Lab, and an Introductory Fiction class (yay!) right now, and I still have time to mess around and decide what to do, so I'm not too worried.
-IAP (that's the short term in January for MIT) was awesome. There was a big blizzard and we got 2 feet of snow. I was really excited and most of my friends were all like 'you'll get tired of it eventually', but I don't see that ever happening :D Also during the last week of IAP, my hall banded together and gave our lounge into a DISCO DANCE FLOOR! Then we had a disco dance party. There were a ton of people there even though not everyone is back during IAP and there was a blizzard. I'll attempt to post pictures of the floor tomorrow. I spent most of IAP being one of about six people who HAND-soldered:
All 8 of the control boards (Mike rocks)
All of the header - that's five solder joints on each of the 512 pieces
All the other ends of the cable - That's another five joints on each of the 512 cables
and all kinds of other stuff (the power cords, etc, etc)
-Oh yeah! My gums got so swollen that I couldn't see my wisdom teeth. When I finally went to MITmedical the nurse asked me if I had been in a lab around a lot of solder fumes >_< oh how I suffer for the dance floor. Apparently soldering 16 hours a day for almost a week isn't enough. It was worth it though. 1E is officially the coolest hall ever. You should poke around >>> http://web.mit.edu/first-east/www/
Anyway, that's what I've been up to for the last month or so. I'll try to be better about keeping up with this if only so I don't forget everything I've ever done :)
