OHOHOHO.... I have random stories for you today. This past weekend I decided that I'd be like all those cool people who go 'into the city' on Saturday nights. So I walked across the bridge into Boston and went to the Prudential Center's Barnes and Noble for a few quiet hours of reading. Which was all very well and all, but I guess you can't really call it a night on the town. Since the Cheesecake Factory was right next door to the bookstore, I thought I might treat myself to something nice for once. The cheesecakes looked amazing, but then I saw that it was an average of $6 for one slice, which is more than I pay for a normal meal at MIT. So I walked out emptyhanded and decided to pick up a container of ice cream or something from the campus convenience store. But when I got there, I saw that it was also $6 for a container of ice cream. And you can get them at Star for about $4.50! So I bought an apple. It was good, but somehow not quite as satisfying.
Today was voting day for the city of Cambridge. I decided that I should perform my civic duty and so I read up on all the candidates that were running for City Council. There was this website that collected responses from most of the candidates - they had to write down what they planned to do in several areas, such as the Environment, Cambridge Public Schools, Housing, etc. Well, one of the categories was "Quality of Life." Under this, one of the candidates wrote "Very busy right now." He didn't get my vote. o_o
Speaking of which, one of my math professors has determined that, based on our math class, 26.9% of MIT students are smart alecks.
Other things of note, though not nearly as entertaining... My work on the MIT seal parody continues, after a month of ignoring it altogether. Now I hear that I've got competition, so I better finish up quickly. I need to stop downloading video game music. It's easy to get ahold of, but it starts to get irritating after a while. I need to find stuff with people actually singing in it. The weekend before last, I went on a dorm leadership retreat. It was a lot of fun, and the weather was gorgeous. The perfect time for a getaway. ^_^ Hm, Thanksgiving's already coming up. Yay, I can go home then! My hair really needs cutting - I got so annoyed at my long bangs today, that I tried trimming them after I took a shower. It's a lot harder than it looks! So I guess I'm going to look kind of scraggly for a couple of weeks. o_o; Oh well. I didn't come here to be a hairdresser. This weekend is cool - it's four days long! But then I have two tests next week, so that's really awful. 6.002 too. Argh. I better not fail again. Darnit. I want ice cream. *sits and pouts*
