Alma Mater

I spent my birthday studying for an exam, but as a belated gift to myself, I paid a weekend visit to MIT in order to once more see friends from my old dormitory hall and friends from my old church. I had a grand time; particular among celebrated pastimes were deep-fried food (from twinkies to cheesburgers) and bad action movies, though the main attraction was, of course, the people. Visiting put once again front and center in my mind what a remarkable group of people I was priviledged to share four years with.
