capsalad (Dave Schulman):
...and eight similies
First term Freshman year is like being buried in snow; harsh,
but you can dig it.
Second term Freshman year is like teaching semiconductor physics to
boisterous extraterrestrials who look like Elvis; numbingly weird.
First term Sophomore year is like trying to swim across a huge
bucket of tar.
Second term Sophomore year is like Limbo dancing under a
rattlesnake; VERY scary.
First term Junior year is like being paid $2.50 per hour to
juggle dynamite and breathe methane.
Second term Junior year is like being chained to the chute of a
cement mixer.
First term Senior year is like being pulled through a hedge
backward.
Final term is like being pulled through a hedge backward while the
hedge is simultaneously being pulled backward through a combine
harvester.
A metaphor: MIT is wild and varied; floats like an anvil, stings
like a tree; more fun than a car fire and less interesting than
a slug race; has only the loosest of connections to the Real World.
A dream? To some.
A nightmare to others!

The afternoon has gently passed me by.

wisner (Bill Wisner):
"Hey, stewardess. Run through that seatbelt demonstration
a few more times. It's unbelievably tricky!"
