So admit letters have been going out. Which means that I'm getting the lovely calls of "I haven't gotten a letter yet and my friend got one and OMG AM I GONNA GET IN GAAAA!" and the "Yeah, I got in, I wanna visit, what do I do?" and the "I got in, where's my money ( Read more... )

Yeah, looks like it's Harvard for me. While I had a badass time out tonight, and should not use backspace, tis isn't htep lace for me next year. Not big enough for what Im looking to do.

Yesterday was my visit to Harvard, which was very enjoyable. I schlepped up there via Red Line and found my way over to the Government building. There are actually about 5 Government buildings right now, but as of this fall there will be only one, as they are constructing a brand-spanking-new facility that will house everything but the kitchen sink ( Read more... )

Yeah, woot, I'm home. Been home since Friday night, just too lazy to update. Home has been delightful thus far, though I have to go be ErrandGirl (superhero pose) in a little bit. Tomorrow it's off to Hahvahd, followed by a thesis day(or two, enh) and hopefully some time in CT with Les Monkeys, because I miss them like crazy and NEVER get to see ( Read more... )
