<p>Ah, what would this forum have been like this year without the input of our beloved Mollie '06? This thread is a big communal HEART for her - feel free to add your love to the mix.</p>
<p>I'm going to spend the bittersweet morning watching her graduate:</p>
<p>teehee. yay mollie! but <em>sniffle</em></p>
<p>hey, mr. JONES, i'm sure you could pull a string or two and keep her around for another year. did she take that required ferret flossing class?</p>

<p>Filled with heart, brilliant as a scientist, ready to make her mark on the world, poised yet filled with energy, thoughtful and clear in her comments, generous with her time (and her cookies), reassuring to worried applicants and prefrosh (not to mention previously-clueless parents! :D), and just a generally fine young woman and a fine example of all that MIT students are and can be. These are the things that come to mind when I think of Mollie. Your participation here and through your MIT blog has been an invaluable help to countless people who have learned to trust you to be honest, fair, and thorough in your quest to help make the murky clear and share what you have learned and experienced.</p>
<p>Congratulations, Mollie. Thank you for everything, and all the best as you travel into your wonderful future. (And I can't wait to meet your bunny! :D )</p>
<p>they handing out the degrees!!!!</p>
<p>woo!!</p>
<p>!</p>
<p>Has she received her diploma(s) yet?</p>
<p>MollieB rocks.</p>
<p>That is all. =D</p>
<p>there goes mollie</p>
<p>Mollie just graduated! She was all smiles on the video. :-)</p>
<p>I just saw her!!!</p>
<p>THERE SHE WENT! And she very PURPOSEFULLY <em>moved her tassel</em> to the right side as she reached the photographer! :D We're all very proud of you here in your extended "family". Congratulations.</p>
<p>Pebbles beat me to it!</p>
<p>Eeeeee Mollieeeeeeeeee!</p>
<p>You guys make me blush. :D</p>
<p>Haha, you probably had a better view of me during the ceremony than my own parents did!</p>
<p>There is no photographic evidence of me crying, so I am going to pretend that I did not, in fact, get misty during the ceremony.</p>
<p>Ben Benanke's speech had me choked up from start to finish. The emotional tension was a little much sometimes.</p>
<p>;-) I love economists.</p>
<p>Mollie's awesome. Can't get over how much time she's spent helping people out on this board. So, thanks for all the measured advice and patience -- and thanks for offering to give me a place to crash (I ended up visiting during CPW).<br>
So, will she be the go-to person for Crimson wannabes next academic year? Hope she'll visit for a while longer -- I think I'll need her my senior year.</p>
<p>mollie!!</p>
<p>:( i can't believe you won't be here for us next year...congrats and good luck in everything you attempt!</p>
<p>Haha, I'm still living on campus. And I bake a pretty mean set of cookies and pie. :)</p>
<p>EDIT: Is it really bad that, during Bernanke's speech, I was trying to remember pieces of information solely so I could go back and read sakky and Ben G's economics spat in the other thread with some measure of understanding?</p>
<p>Haha. What I was thinking during the speech was, "Well, I'd like to turn this off, but considering I want to do this for a living and he's a smart guy, I should keep it on in case he says something useful."</p>
<p>But still... a lecture about managerial factors of production? I thought it was a little much. :-)</p>
