um...
Wait a minute! Why is this good?

We're pretty much having a blast at the MIT Deferred blog. Writing out our posts in code, yelling at the person whose writing in binary to start writing in hex.
I started this wave of poetry too. It started out with me posting my version of a Langston Hughes poem

What happens to a decision Deferred?
Does it dry up
to a sublimated state?
Or fester like arcsin--
And differentiate?
Does it stink like an infinite loop?
Or debug and sugar over--
into the Rejected group?

Maybe it just drags
like a complex plane ln.

Or in March, does it get in?

and then everyone is like COOL and it began. And this person was like "you're all nuts and you write way too much poetry!! Go and try the liberal arts college down the street!!"

I suppose it's nice that they didn't outright reject me. I feel very...very at home with MIT. Not just with the applicants and the students and the bloggers, but the whole attitude of the campus. It's a very much "screw you, cookie-cutter establishment" place. I mean, just look at their hacks.
It was the first place I came where they were total strangers, yet they were able to completely spit my theory of good education back to me down to the last exclamation point.
Very scary, yet astoundingly cool.

I laugh not. You should have seen me at the International Science Fair. This was where I revealed to Sarah and a new amazing South African friend that I thought MIT stood for "Military Institute for Technology." Which made me wonder why there were so many people from foreign countries attending MIT's reception lunch... *fails*
