New year's eve here in Karachi. Assault rifle fire is really loud. I can hear the pings of bullets landing in the street. As long as the electricity is flowing and the guns are shooting, I'll be awake in the basement and away from windows ready to answer your questions with the new and improved application deadline quickly approaching.
Here's a picture. Enjoy, good luck, and feel free to email me at the address in the banner. Have a happy and safe new year.

Write a blog about Karachi when you get a chance, it seems interesting.

I hope the rain of bullets will stop there soon... it sounds so frightening!
I have a Pakistani friend who is in college in Texas. She told me her extended family lives in Karachi and thereabout, and she is very worried for them.
May the internet distract you long enouch until they'll stop shooting!

My School Report and Teacher evaluation A were processed on my MyMIT Application 2 weeks ago whereas my Evaluation B wasn't even thought I sent all three forms in the same FedEx envelope. Should I just be more patient, or resend my Evaluation B?

hey, just wondering, are u Nigerian??

So my school isn’t very organized and my counselor inst really the best one ever. To me understanding my counselor and my humanities teachers haven’t yet sent my MIT forms ( evaluation B and school report) now my evaluation A (science teacher) was sent out.
I am sooooo worried that because of them MIT will not consider me or think bad of me right from the start. I submitted my application on the 31st of December so on my part everything is on time. Can you let me know if this happens in a lot of cases or am I the first one? Also will I be penalized? On Monday when we start school again I will speak to my teacher and counselor

Ah well, at least they've put a stop to all the load shedding going on. That was a nightmare.
Enjoy your trip..
