MIT Splash was really really really FUN!

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Yay! The MIT Splash was really really really fun. From the sign-up being in real disarray on Oct.31st and Nov. 1st, I was really impressed that everything was really really really well organized and run! They even found my phone, which I lost. (No, I did not lose it on purpose because the iPhone is coming… the Organic Chemistry teacher was oblivious as to what was happening outside the window and I had to sprint with a heavy bag and untied shoe to get into the photo). I did skip his other class, Intro to Genetics since I found out that I’m really really really not interested in that type of stuff.

Hmm… My fav classes were probably Advanced Java, Goal Oriented Machine Learning, AI as Common Sense Problems (or something like that), and How Computers Work : Software (which turned out to be a Q&A class :D ). There was one class that involved Linear Algebra & Physics to explain how Google’s news thingy worked… the person teaching it seemed nervous, so it wasn’t that effective. I’m sure it’s a fantastically interesting thing to look into, but what are you going to do afterwards? You can’t go to the moon with that knowledge…

Anyway, the really really really weird part about the trip was that I was always cold! It sounds weird, but it’s like as if my bones were frozen. I was never really warm! And I’m still cold now! :( :( :( Brrr…
