Wow. So, you know how Roosevelt had the Fireside Chats, where he went on the radio and talked to Americans? Apparently every president since him has done this also. How come I never learned this?? Did anyone else realize this? It is called the Presidential Radio Address. Haha, I feel dumb. :P

This weekend I have a decent amount of stuff to do, and I am at least getting some of it accomplished. I need to revise my 24.01 paper, which I did, though I am not completely happy with it.

I mean, it doesn't really matter all that much, since it is worth a whopping 3% of our grade and I am on pass/no-record. But still, I would like to get at least Bs on these things! Why did the asshole even ( Read more... )

Someone may have unknowingly started a flame war over all of the dormitory email groups at MIT! This person emailed everyone CC asking if someone wanted to work with him on a certain problem set. There are like 100 emails in my inbox from it so far. I would take screen caps, but I am too lazy. So far there has been a copy paste of the wikipedia ( Read more... )
