<p>Because I'm staying up all night anyways.</p>
<p>Anyone can contribute: prefrosh- current students- alums, even.</p>
<p>Well, I'm working at Citigroup aka Solomon Brothers in FX quant. trading & research
I'm afraid that I won't like Manhattan :-o. But luckily a very large number of MIT guys and gals end up there for the summer so I won't be alone.
My job starts the week after finals (last year my internship started a few days after finals :-/)</p>
<p>and you're doing this the whole summer? up til term?</p>
<p>man, going to school sure is a battle of endurance.</p>
<p>p.s. you can't not like NYC. That's simply unacceptable.</p>
<p>i'm not any of the above. (but if i had to pick, i'd choose to be a prefrosh.) but you're staying up all night anyways.</p>
<p>i am staying here doing a summer research thingy project in theoretical economics, trying to understand who the most influential agents are in social networks.</p>
<p>also observing the squirrels.</p>
<p>part time work, and Tahiti, yes!!</p>
<p>After that, lots and lots of reading/building things/packing/planning/unpacking/packing again/looking for warm clothes.</p>
<p>What are YOU doing?</p>
<p>Summer research "thingy" project?</p>
<p>Yes, I've got one of those. Black hole recoil, and the statistics of populations of massive black holes ejected from colliding galaxies.</p>
<p>I'm serious. Undergrads do work in this area since general relativity does not completely monopolize the calculations. Personally I'm hoping to get some experience with Monte Carlo but I'll need to read some papers before I know for sure that I can select this part of the problem to work on.</p>
<p>meh. I have a full-time job as a summer tour guide here, and I may be doing research on the side with LIGO (the interferometer project to detect gravity waves) depending on how my interview goes this friday :P</p>
<p>If you should be asleep right now, raise your hand.</p>
<p><em>raises both hands</em></p>
<p>If you're being violated by a programming language called scheme, look really sad like your life hurts.</p>
<p>:-(</p>
<p>awww sniffle poor pebbles. :-(</p>
<p>Hairy Cdr says: Get back to work!
Does anybody here know how Ben Bitdiddle's dog goes? (6.004 question)</p>
<p>"Get back to work!"</p>
<p>Easier said than done... Good advice in any case.</p>
<p>At great-court Oh dear, hairy-cdr has just caught BIRD-FLU.
At great-court hairy-cdr says -- Yaaaah! I am upset! </p>
<br>
<p>(ask me 'SAY (list "serves you right"))</p>
<br>
<p>I'm working at the lab for half the summer, then taking a few weeks off to do gloriously nothing at all before grad school orientation starts. (It's, like, a week and a half long. I understand that undergrad orientation is that long -- they have to tell you not to rape people and to drink alcohol in moderation -- but how much orienting do grad students need?)</p>
<p>"I have a full-time job as a summer tour guide here"</p>
<p>Heh, they called me when checking your references. So does this entitle me to some sort of commission?</p>
<p>;-)</p>
<p>Ben is my hero.</p>
<p>He's soooo dreamy :)</p>
<p>He is mine. Keep away. <em>snarl</em></p>
<p>Soooo dreamy. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>^^Haha!!!</p>
<p>Anyways, I'm travelling to Belize (maybe) and Peru (definitely) with my parents, and then I'm working--fun stuff. Basically just chilling before I go fry my brain at MIT.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and I'm playing in another Collective Soul concert with the ASYO. Yay for playing the violin...:)</p>
<p>NIH!</p>
<p>... like every other MD student =P</p>
<p>ewwwwww premeds ;-)</p>
