wHaT lOoKs LiKe cRaZy oN aN oRdInArY dAy…

When i walk out of my office at 2am and see someone on a unicycle going down the hallway or people breakdancing or ballroom dancing in the open space between labs, or busloads of tourists taking my picture as I walk to class, or someone walking across Mass ave in the snow with shorts on, i dont even flinch anymore. What once looked so crazy to me has now become normal….. but today was different for some reason. i walked outside and thought to myself ‘I still cannot believe I go to MIT’. It was “normal” for me to go from one lab where carbon nanotubes were being made to my lab where new chips were being tested/models were being made, to talking to one of my friends about a novel energy solutions in developing countries to doing my own MEMs homework. Never in a million years would I have believed that this would be my life. If you would have told me then where I would be now, I would have laughed in your face and thought you were just as crazy as the guy with the shorts on in the snow. But, I am so grateful for this opportunity to be here, in the short seven months I have been at MIT I have met the Chairman of Intel, traveled to 5 different states for conferences, seen my first Broadway play, and began learning Chinese. There’s so much more, but I dont have room to write it all! It has been awesome, but I have learned that at MIT you will understand what Pearl Cleage meant when she wrote the book entitled, “What looks like crazy on an ordinary day…”
