Spring Break!

Spring Break! Its always exciting to get not just a three-day weekend, but an entire week free from classes! Back in high school spring break was in the middle of April, but here its at the end of March. Most other colleges have spring break a week or two earlier, meaning we dont get to see many of our high school friends when we go home. :( But, this is because they start the spring semester weeks before we do because we have IAP. So ha! Well, this entry is a bit premature. Many people are still in class. In fact Im in an Athena cluster right now, supposed to be working on my UROP but instead writing this. By the way, a few weeks ago I got a UROP! I never thought Id be joining the ~85% of the MIT population which eventually does research in a UROP, but surprise surprise. I wont bore you with details, but my group wants to change old power plants into cogeneration plants (those output both power and heat) by channeling the waste heat into heating for surrounding buildings. Yay! Where was I? Oh, spring vacation. I used to go home for spring break, but since I dont really like home that much I decided to stay at my boyfriends home in DE. Hopefully itll get warm enough to walk along the beaches at least! Before then Im trying to clean my room, so that one day I can take pictures and write a post about my awesome room in East Campus for you. :) Happy Spring~~~~! ^_^ Spring Break! At approximately 9.30 pm on Thursday night, Spring Break will begin. I leave for (blank) on Saturday. Anyone want to guess where Im going? Hint #1: Its not the Pappalardo Lab. (although if I were staying at MIT for Spring Break, Id definitely be down there working on 2.007) Hint #2 I have to travel east from Boston to get there. Spring Break! So Im sitting in the airport in Toronto on my way to London where I will be next week for Spring Break as well as Paris. Ill be sure to post photos and entries all this week. If you happen to be in London or Paris or have suggestions as to what to do, let me know! Cheerio!
