Wow SOTA!

I'm so proud of my high school!  I'm beaming!!  This is definitely one of my favorite songs, and they do it really well, and it's on youtube!  Man, I honestly really miss high school.

Traders@MIT

Oh my gosh!  I have some exciting bit of news that will bore everyone else but me.  But it's exciting!


First and foremost, let me introduce the preliminary website for The Laramie Project, still under construction, to you, my best friends.  The website is more than halfway done, with features such as forums, blogs, an insider's look at the production, etc.  It's going to be really amazing!  Please check it out and tell me what you think.  Be critical.  What is uninteresting?  What is unclear?  Do the colors work?  Are there any questions left unanswered?  Is it easy to navigate?  Are you eager for updates at all?  Or is everything just a waste of time?

Secondly, a friend and I entered a trading competition on a whim this past Saturday at MIT, hosted by Traders@MIT and co-sponsored by J.P. Morgan and D.E. Shaw.  We got second place!!  There were over forty teams from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Wellesley, Columbia, Dartmouth etc. etc., and we got second place!!  I still can't believe it, because I feel like I was the only humanities concentrator there and I was so sure we wouldn't place top five.  The worst part of the competition is the fact that my teammate and I could've placed first, if it weren't for a really big bone-headed move during one of the sections... to the team that won first place!  We lost hella points, and they gained hella that round.  Oh well, it means so much to me though that even though we made the biggest mistake of the competition we could still take second place.  It was sooooo amazing!!!!!!

Good Karma

So, a bunch of us took our little mentees (my mentee's name is Jason, heh) trick or treating this Halloween.  While we made our rounds of Beacon Hill and ate tons of candy, lo and behold there was John Kerry!!

(Jason, my little mentee, was less interested that we were in John Kerry.  He was more taken with the candy!)
Don't forget to vote!!  Also, if you have five minutes, I highly recommend watching this video concerning the Republican mayor of San Diego.  It regards California's Proposition 8, and is very heartwarming to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y05XmZlF44
