Back from MIT!

Summary: Caltech was fun. MIT was awesome! Harvard...I have no clue!

Two schools with totally different feels (and one that as I said up above, I have no clue about), and I can try to explain what exactly those two "feels", well, feel like, but it probably won't be the same thing that you would feel about the two schools and again it's a feeling thing and those things don't particularly translate well to words, especially since you can't see me waving my arms around or anything, which for a Italian is like having half of your tongue (or perhaps in my case, being only half Italian, 1/4 of my tongue) cut out in most situations, which if you're wondering is compensated on the phone by speaking VERY LOUDLY! [I'm in dire need of a new iBook with one of those shnazy new built in video cameras and a grammar book (and the time to read it.)]

So. The feeling of MIT... it's electric (boogie-woogie-woogie - had to be said), it's like wow + i, it's dome-o-rific, and overall... I think it's where I'm suppose to be this Fall. (Oh, and Eliza Eddison and Ben Jones are amazing...just saying what must be said.)

But. I haven't sent in the intent to register form quite yet, still some/many/a few/infinite (at this point I'm not sure which things I'm subconsciously/consciously counting or not) things to consider (especially since Caltech comes very close to this feeling just in a different way and I haven't had a chance to get a good look at or "feel" of Harvard).

No pictures this time. I was being an anti-camera bum, since my camera conveniently does not fit in my purse and I was too busy hopping around campus and shopping in Boston (with the lovely Kelsey "Goat Girl" Kennedy).

And...how about those t-shirts I mentioned in my previous post? See above paragraph. No camera usage = No pictures = No pictures of t-shirts = No pictures for t-shirt pages.

:'(

:'('

Okay, okay, I'm working on it. Just let me catch up on two chapters of Calculus BC, 2 AP Gov tests, a Vocab test, and other AP Eng work first...actually let me get to all that after I practice my bass, since I've got a gig with the Palomar Jazz Ensemble tonight and I could really use a run through with the music!

Hello from Caltech!

Hey ya'll. I rolled in to Caltech around 1:30 pm, so far so good. Took a campus tour, met some fellow pre-frosh, chilled with some students, all that jazz (actually the Jazz Band doesn't play until 4:30...hmm probably should get going...). Anyway, this is just a small update (more to come) so here's a sample of the first batch of photos.


The oh so famous canon.


Of course.


Ze library.


...& a very shnazy bridge with an equally shnazy guide.

Ciao, folks.
