Woke up today and could barely move because I’m so freakin’ sore. Yesterday was the most random running around I had done for a long time, all over campus for various reasons, including an all out drag race down the Infinite Corridor to write “FIRST POST!!!!1” on the beginning of a giant paper roll on which were scribbled many, many random things by the EC residents (video walkthrough to come). I lost that race anyway, because my shoelaces were half-untied and any more running could have resulted in a faceplant. Which would be unpleasant, IMO.
I ended up initiating the “LAST POST” contest between a bunch of people who strove to squeeze those powerful, insightful words onto the last remaining corner of the smallest sliver of tape holding down the roll.
Someone then attached another piece of paper to it in typical MIT fashion.
Real orientation begins today. In fact, I just got back from the convocation speech by the Powers that Be. I managed to doze off and almost tip over twice, as eloquent as one of them were.
