ayshames (Arlene Shames):
As hunting season opens, the first year MBA students nervously
starch their interview shirts and locate those missing accessories.
The recruiter vultures hover.
Quick, first year! Prepare your response!
"I've always wanted to do consulting. I love working late at
night, and the travel opportunities are fascinating. I never could
understand why people seem to need to be in their own apartment for
more than a day or two each month."
And the recruiters listen, and make their selections.
Boy, they move quickly - An interview today, and second interviews
already scheduled for the next day (they call you right after
dinner....). I wish I knew if this is what I want to do.........

csmith (Carol J Smith):
The Aztecs would not let their women have chocolate; it was "too powerful"
a stimulant.
Luckily (or perhaps predictably?) that civilization fell...

S.O.M.F.
So what? Big Deal!

To try to remember the heat transfer equations and solutions that caused
me so much trouble in 16.53.
Quote of the day:
"Read the OSI protocol specifications? I can't even lift them!"
(Henry Spencer)
Thought for the day:
The subway station's closed again and sleeps beneath its veil of rain.
My footprints' broken trail behind steals the night lights from my mind.
The dark deserted streets stand clear, today has lived and died in here.
So I leave the chapel gloom to find the shelter of my tiny room.
But it's all right while the lights of the city shine so bright,
it's all right 'till the last winding train fades from sight.
Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win,
While those wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in.
The panelled patterns on the door chase shiv'ring shadows to the floor.
Upon the pillow worn and thin the memories of hope begin.
The carpet with its flowers in shred expires a foot before my bed,
the crack that won't return again advancing through my broken windowpane.
Friends I left back home all write with laughing words that warm my sight
saying "tell us, how's the city life," and I reply and say "just fine".
And so you see I can't go back until I either win or crack.
I'm standing in a one way street. The stage is set, the story incomplete.
But it's all right while the lights of the city shine so bright,
it's all right 'till the last winding train fades from sight.
Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win,
While those wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in.

lnp (Lisa N Paradis):
This week:
hmmmm... I guess I'll read lots and lots of stuff for 6.033
and rewrite my 1.101 problem set...
Gee... this may be my first semester at MIT that I actually have
*time* to do fun stuff like craft things.
(playing with silk flowers is *fun*)
I have other things on my to do list, but I can't list them yet ;-)

nehrlich (Ishmael Gabanzai):
"It's a 106 miles to Chicago,
we got a full tank of gas,
half a pack of cigarettes,
It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit It!"
--Blues Brothers
"Cracks between the paving stones,
Like rivers of flowing veins,
Strange people who know me,
Peer from behind every windowpane.
The girl I used to love,
Lives in this yellow house.
Yesterday she passed me by,
She doesn't want to know me now.
Can you see the real me, can you, can you?
Can you see the real me, can you?"
from "The Real Me"

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for yound men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children's crusade
