MIT, no doubt, is hard -- um, wait, impossible. The workload is really really heavy. Freshmen are on pass/no record which makes things a lot easier for us, but even passing is difficult. It's funny how I'd kill for a 60 (passing) now when I used to kill myself if I got a 60 =P However, the social life here is a lot better than most people think.
I'm a coxswain for the MIT Freshmen Men's Lightweight crew team, but I'm on a "break" now =P I'll probably rejoin in the spring. I'm also on the IFC (InterFraternity Council) Community Service committee and the Panhel Restructuring Committee since Panhel is breaking away from IFC =) I'm in CSC (Chinese Students' Club), BUSA (Biology Undergraduate Students Association), AMSA (American Medical Students Association), and hopefully Hunger Action Group.
Panhel Elections were held yesterday =) (December 8, 2001) -- and say hello to your 2002 Panhel Publicity Chairs -- that's right -- BSB BABY =) Me, Liz, and Anita are so excited about being publicity chairs =)
College life is very different from high school and I had to adjust quite a bit but honestly, I actually really like it =) I just wish I could stay a freshman forever and be on pass/no record =) I'm proud to be here, though -- even if it takes me a decade....or a couple decades....to graduate =P |
