on friday i also went to this MIT admitted student meeting...it was basically just the MIT alumni talking and answering questions, but they made it sound like a super cool place...i didn't really know anyone there, except this one kid from bellaire, justin lee, whom i've seen before somewhere, but i can't remember where...this other school tho, Booker T. Washington High School apparently had 5 students get into MIT this year....amazing...(by the way, the guy:girl ratio at the meeting was 3:1...hmmm...lol...hey, works for me!...j/p)

so apparently MIT still gives a lot of room for liberal arts courses - they even require each student to choose a specific liberal arts/language, etc.. topic and then take at least three courses in that area...guess what i'm gonna choose! haah not that hard to guess...

i'm kinda excited about MIT i guess....especially since the more i hear about it, the more interesting it sounds, but i suppose that's the way with everything...i liked hearing about the hacks though - which are harmless pranks that MIT students often perpetrate around campus. the best one i've heard so far is about the harvard/yale game: over the period of summer vacations (forgot which year), this MIT kid went and stood on the harvard football field every day(or wutever it was) wearing a black and white striped ref shirt...he would blow a whistle and everytime he did so, he would also throw out birdseed, thus conditioning the birds to fly down and land all over the field everytime they saw a person wearing a black and white striped shirt blowing a whistle.....so on the first day of the harvard /yale game, the ref comes out and blows the whistle, and guess what happens...LOL....apparently it took them 20 minutes to clear all the birds off the field....hahah

i think it'd be pretty fun to be a hacker (in the MIT sense at least)...look out yall


5 more days...being optimistic at least.................
