Sometimes we have fun

Sometimes we have fun Winter break is finally over and Im back at MIT. As much as most people complain about MIT, you really miss it when youre gone. Of course, maybe I just miss the freedom that comes with being away from home, but I miss being here just the same. There was so much I wanted to tell you about last semester, but I didnt have the time. I think it would be kinda silly to go back and try to write posts about that stuff now, so this post is dedicated to my favorite memories from Fall 2007. Navy/Marine Corps Birthday Ball Each year Boston NROTC hosts a formal celebrating the founding of the US Navy (on 13 OCT 1775) and US Marine Corps (10 NOV 1775). This year we went to the Park Plaza Hotel. It was a lot of fun: live music, good friends, and all the cake you can eat. Greg 08, Me, Jackie 08. 3/4ths of MITs graduating NROTC class Kristen 09 and Vanessa 09 My girlfriend Kristen 09 and me. Who says you cant find a girl at MIT whos beautiful, smart, and can cook? Boos Cruise The senior class cruise on Halloween. Hence the name Boos Cruise, though Ive always wondered if it had another meaning though. Like a good senior I went, and various debauchery ensued. Some pictures are omitted to protect the innocent (and guilty). Katy 08 as Goldilocks. I dont know whats up with that face I was superman, Julianna 08 was a border patrol agent A-Entry Thanksgiving Dinner A new tradition we started in A-entry this year. Each person was asked to bring a dish and we all got together to eat. A-entry is pretty diverse, so there was a good selection of food there. Everything from meat lasagna (which I made) to trail mix and donuts (which our Jamaican residents provided. Theyd never had thanksgiving). Drew 10, Jenny 11, Kristen 09, Kristina 08, Kevin 10, and a bunch of other crazy people waiting for food Kevin didnt seem to trust the food Me with my lovely A-Entry co-chair, Leslie 10 Lynn 11 surprised that theres ham on her plate. Lynn cannot multitask at all. In fact, if you try to talk to her while shes watching TV, it seems like shes ignoring you. But shes not. Shes like your computer when you try to play Elder Scrolls IV with maxed out settings and try to burn the entire second season of Battlestar Galactica to DVD. She needs time to process A Phi Holiday Mixer Each fall Alpha Phi hosts a party celebrating the holidays. Sorority events are dry, so its a nice break from the ridiculous antics you might see at a frat party. Normally theres hot chocolate and cookies. The logs (my favorite acapella group) performed too. Meeting Paul in person! Its not everday you get to meet a blogger My favorite A Phi lady Leslie 10, and one of the coolest people to ever major in Course 10, Mariah 08 The logs performing. Absolutely incredible So we do have fun sometimes. Even the cranky seniors =)
