I'd just like to say, I'm almost amused by the email predicament we're having. Almost.
20 percent of MIT web mail went down on Wednesday morning. I lost my email access. Fine. Thursday rolls around, it's not back. They've restored 3/4 of the 20%. Guess who still doesn't have email. The tech guys are working around the clock to fix it. 1000 people without email, 500 people, 300 people, 75 people on the entire network. The entirety of MIT. Guess who still doesn't have email. Either I'm really lucky at bad luck, or I don't know what. Now I feel more out of touch with the world than usual. That doesn't feel great, let me tell you. Nothing has really felt great around here. It's been a really tough two weeks, and I still have 2 more weeks before spring break. The coming weeks bring 2 more tests and a paper, so as to not continue my endless cycle of falling behind, I just did three hours of homework on a Friday night. Things have changed. MIT has changed me, not sure if for the better.
I keep wanting to drop my a cappella group, but something's keeping me from doing it. I'm always threatening to do it, but I never follow through. I get all worked up about hating it, and then I go and remember that I love it sometimes. Had my email been working, I was planning on writing an email to the group explaining how my studies were suffering because of late practices, but maybe that's for the best? I really don't know anymore.
A lot of things don't make sense anymore.
