D-Lab Food Fest by Mitra L. '07

A week on $2 a day, followed by a meal from around the world

Sorry, I am a bit swamped for the next couple of days with some 14.05: Macroeconomics work. As soon as I can, I will write an entry on the delicious D-Lab Food Fest, and my week of living on $2 a day that preceeded it.

… And for my mother, who jokingly calls me “our family’s wannabe Florence Nightingale” — Britney and Kevin are divorcing.

    It is sad really that the day has come for Britney and Kevin to divorce! But at the same time it is not totally unexpected. Oh well.

    Wow $2 a day at MIT? sounds rough! How did you cope?

    Well, it’s not like this divorce is unexpected. Kevin Federline is the definition of the word “loser.”

    $2 a day?
