NM – u? by Mitra L. '07
Sometimes there just isn't that much crazy in my life. Splish splash.
Most of my weeks at MIT have been crazy and cool and full of interesting things about which I can’t wait to blog. The rest of the weeks, though, are less jam-packed. I just go about my routine – running, reading, meetings – and spend my nights awake with worry about how little I have to blog.
Last Wednesday, I knew it was supposed to snow pretty much all day, so I curled up in Hayden with Moll Flanders.
I usually sit up on the second floor, near the M-Z section of “Current Periodicals” so I can treat myself to New York Magazine during my breaks. Also, here I get an amazing view of Memorial Drive, the Charles River, and Boston.
There are also several small balcony sections from which you can get a nice view of the whole second floor.
At night, I put on my totally awesome red rainboots and trudged to the BPL (Boston Public Library) for the John Adams exhibit. I have to admit, it is pretty nifty to watch other people try to tiptoe around and hopscotch over these giant puddles when I just stomp right through them. I guess Lord Acton was right – absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Around Copley Square I saw a news crew filming, and since my secret life goal #11 is to get on television, I made a big show jumping in the puddles with the hopes of getting on the evening news. No such luck. The news anchor smiled and waved at me, but the person I was with obviously thought I was nuts.
So I realize that the first paragraph of this entry makes it sound like I didn’t find the John Adams exhibit exciting, which is not true. It’s just not MIT-related excitement. There was lots of Ivy League drama at the exhibit:
For present-day Ivy League drama, check out IvyGate. (Let’s see how long I can keep this link up before I get in trouble. Ready…. Go!)
First post.
Mitra don’t forget you promised to blog about your blog photo that you took in Zambia.
More pictoblogs, they are definitely exciting.
Ha!! that IvyGate thing is totally brilliant! I never thought stuff like that happens at ivies… wow, Mitra, I don’t even know you and I like you already! Gossip is soo fun! lol
Ah, Moll Flanders, the perfect Valentine’s day reading. Did you follow her example and make Cyrus your valentine?

Hey people, try this riddle. It was written by Einstein during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Are you among the 2%?? Find out for yourself.
Here is the riddle:
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns what?
You people need these CLUES so..
• The Brit lives in the red house.
• The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
• The Dane drinks tea.
• The green house is on the left of the white house.
• The green homeowner drinks coffee.
• The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. .
• The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
• The man living in the center house drinks milk.
• The Norwegian lives in the first house.
• The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
• The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
• The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer. .
• The German smokes prince.
• The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
