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.
