Summer Nights

May 28, 2008 — personal — Tags: , , ,

The last of my semester grades trickled in today, and I can finally say that all of my obligations to spring semester classes have now been fulfilled.  I also have the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that I’ve managed a 5.0 (of 5.0) semester GPA at MIT.  Whether this is actually repeatable or not remains to be seen.

My down comforter at home is leaking, and so every morning I wake up covered in feathers.  I feel like I’m slowly turning into a duck.

I’m leaving bright and early (5am, yuck) on Saturday morning for Seattle, WA, an event that I am exceptionally excited for, dangling preposition be damned.  My employer is graciously providing subsidized housing for us interns, which also means that (hopefully) there will be a gaggle of enthusiastic nerds to socialize with once I move in to my new living arrangements.  Anyone ever been to Seattle?  I don’t really know anything about the city, but I’ve heard from others that it’s “green and pretty” and “has good coffee.”  I like coffee.

Beyond those things, I’ve mostly been gaining weight and catching up on sleep at home with my family.  When I get bored of that, I dabble a little bit with the new MIT DanceTroupe website that I’m slowly building with the Django web framework.  It will be a thing of beauty when it’s complete, I promise.

  1. Hey. I found this blog from Snively’s
    Seattle is fantastic over the summer,but horrible in the winter.
    It’s warm and sunny in the summers, not much rain.
    The parks near Puget Sound has fantastic view and is perfect for picnic and BBQ. They have a pretty good transportation system, too. If you have a car, visit Mt. St. Helen and Mt. Rainier over the weekends. Also visit the Space Needle near Downtown.
    Seattle is home of Microsoft, Amazon, and Starbucks.
    Maybe if you are lucky, you can see Bill Gate’s yacht in the Sound XP
