Seems very quiet around here today. The students are all on Spring Break, and somehow it feels like the whirlwind that surrounded the mailing of decisions was ages ago (due to the fact that last week felt so very long).
Sometimes quiet is good.
A lot of the snow melted this past weekend. I'm seeing the first signs of spring. What better way to welcome spring than to write some awful haiku? Help me create a silly thread. I think we all need one.
You've been warned: anything posted in this thread that is not light-hearted will be deleted! :-)
I'll start.

This is really off topic but,
I was wondering if it was possible to arrive for CPW on Friday morning instead of Thursday because I have plans on Thursday night.
Please respond as quick as possible(or email me) because I have to book my flight soon. Thanks
Posted by: Lily on March 21, 2005
Yes, I think that's fine. Just make sure to make a note of it when you register so the organizers know when to expect you.
Posted by: Ben on March 21, 2005
M-I-T, we're meant to be.
And I want Ben's first-born.
Just kidding about that last part.
Later,
Mike.

Mommy and Daddy want him.
... What about the third?
Posted by: leftcoast mom on March 21, 2005
my apcs teacher recently did a haiku posting lesson as a activity for "last in first out" [stacks!]. supposedly the 5-7-5 haiku system is general and not necessarily set in stone. haiku is supposed to be a "go with the flow" poetry thing.
so as long as it sounds good, don't go counting your syllables!

let me try....
Yeah....
got my letter...to-day
...still sealed, and maybe forever
Finally a relief that i got something to hold in my hand...
Well, well as everyone catches up with the pace of life, at a time long long later, those who have been going through these blogs....trying to read between the lines & extract whatever they could...looking back at this time, i am certain they will rekindle that MIT spirit! Whatever course the life takes, we will remember the time we spent zooming onto the computer screens for it was a unique experience, distinct, bitter for some but still memorable...the first of its kind!
Hands up... i mean hat's off... for making what seemed like a distant prospect into a recurrent dream, and finally making "MyMIT" an 'achiveable' phenomenon if you realize how to make the best of opportunities available... anywhere...everywhere....
Well if someone still finding hard to get over it!(I hope not :( )
Cheer up! if you have still got your youth and the best of your health, two of the possible possessions we humans have, you still havent lost anything yet...press on...or when any of these two are gone...you might(i wish not) realize how it really is feeling low...
My words might not be enough, so for a change...

You can go on thinking for as long as you wish,dictate your plans to yourself & ACT on your own commands!
Best of LUCK!

Besides, it is "lunch"

Welcome to the world of blogs
Where Ben's a Rock Star.
Posted by: Daniel Barkowitz on March 25, 2005
I wake and find an ancient tomb.
Wet, and sticky I rise in alarm
what is this? will i come to harm?
A TUBE! why, I am living in a womb.
I kick and scream and bite the walls
The vessel groans and gives a pause
Reeling in pain from my tiny jaws
while her husbands voice drawls and drawls.
"Aww. my little poopykins" I hear
A faint whisper outside the layer.
Is it my father? I quickly say a prayer,
Getting his voice makes me cring in fear
Of course the day comes when i am out
I look around and give a shout
I'm free I'm free, no longer shall I bear
the prison or that fretful lair.
I look around and see my dad
His beard is fearful and he is clad
in a leather jacket and a biker's hat
whats this? my dad's a little fat.
CHEERS!
