So about a month ago, back when I actually wrote blog entries and stuff, Ruth ‘07 spent a week in New Orleans, so we, her floormates, decided to welcome her return with a nice poster:
And a few ballons.
And then a few more...
Really, there’s nothing to say here, except that it turned out that the air compressor Zach bought at Target operated on a 12 volt car battery, so he had to get inventive with a PC power supply.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Other than that, there are no words. Only pictures. Which are worth a thousand balloons- coincidentally approximately the number of balloons we used to commemorate Ruth’s return.
Ruth's reaction?
(I think this is possibly the greatest picture ever taken...)
...Spam?
Ruth was really excited about the balloons. But maybe she had a rough week???
Everyone ran into her room after her and proceeded to have a crazy, free-for-all balloon-popping extravaganza. They popped all the balloons in her room and didn't even realize that... a few...had leaked out.
Questions? =)
Comments (Closed after 30 days to reduce spam)
Balloon popping makes life worth living.

As you see, sky's my dream, and I love balloons, but sadly as I surf from a cafe, and this stubborn machine refuses to do anything smoothly , I couldn't enjoy the whole post, wish be back soon. The head is coming, as I scroll, frictional force temporarily vanish, and there is the tail, I can't break the scrollbar at the body.
The keyboard is too strong, must passed the chrystler crush test :D
Please continue with balloons.
Aren't they a marvel?

That's a lot of rubber left over in her room. She'll probably be picking it out of her wardrobe for days ...!
I was at MIT this summer for WTP, and we stayed at McCormick Hall ...
Which dorm is this? Looks nice. And in that first picture where the guy with the blue PJ pants is blowing up the red balloon .... what is that, a common room? Or someone else's room? Looks like a sitting area type thing. Pretty sweet. Kinda want to get the idea of the layout of this dorm ... because it looks pretty awesome. Thanks!

You're looking at photos from Burton-Conner. Unlike the other dorms, it's laid out in suites, with 6-8 suites on each floor, depending on if you're on Burton or Conner side. Each suite has a common area and a kitchen and 3-6 rooms, including one double (I'm pretty sure each suite has one double...not positive though).
Oh wait...Laura did the whole photo tour thing in an earlier entry.

This happened on Nov. 11, and yes, I did pick a piece of rubber out of a shoe under my bed today. There are still about six unpopped balloons on my cabinet.
Parents, your kids are in good hands at MIT. No matter how bad a week they have, no matter how much homework, no matter how many tests, no matter how cruel the boys, they'll have great friends to come home to.

To answer one of the previous questions this took about 8 hours to complete with an average of 6 people inflating at any given time. We also bought out not one, but TWO Targets of balloons. Definitely a great way to spend a weekend!
