It's been a busy week, and I've still got a lot on my mind. As long as I can remember, I've found that writing things down is one of my ways of decompressing - imposing order on chaos, as it were. So I figured I'd share my thoughts with you.

Things I am excited about:

• my new UROP investigating the genetics of tuberculosis at the Broad Institute
  
• the freshmen in my fraternity
  
• the Class of 2012 in general
  
• Independent Activities Period! Only two months away!
  
• picking my classes for spring semester
  
• learning more Python and more LaTeX
  
• showing off my Brass Rat in the spring
  
• this upcoming summer :)
  
• this weekend!

Plans for this weekend:

• studying for the upcoming 20.110 (thermodynamics) test
  
• getting a head start on my 18.700 (linear algebra) problem set
  
• 18.02 grading
  
• shopping at the Garment District for my Halloween costume
  
• transcribing the minutes from my fraternity's recent house meetings
  
• working on the MURJ website
  
• updating the Medlinks website
  
• sleeping lots
  
• blogging :)

Blog entries I want to write:

• recap of the Medlinks retreat
  
• thoughts about Fraternity Rush
  
• all the photos and events from last year I never had time to post :)
  
• a look at MIT's tunnels
  
• advice and thoughts about the application process
  
• more about some of my student groups (Assassins' Guild, MURJ, Medlinks)
  
• a look into my previous UROPs at the Langer Lab and the Amon Lab
  
• whatever you want me to talk about! Let me know what you want to hear!

Like you really have enough time at MiT to do all that in a weekend!!! ;P

Good luck... It's doable if you don't sleep lol...

Also, Class of 2012 are awesome. And the clueless-ness of new-comers is amazing (yes, I was like that a couple of months ago) so seeing the new prefrosh should be lots of fun too...

Ok random reply I know sorry lol
