"Again, consider the U.S. News' Top 25. Taken together, they boast a combined record of 123-116, good for a mediocre winning percentage of .515. Eleven schools finished at or below 500. Duke and Rice each won a single game. MIT posted a 3-6 record, dropping its final two games to Salve Regina University and Endicott College by a combined score of 85-26.
Endicott. Salve Regina. Not exactly the Texas Longhorns. If MIT had an analogous scholastic year -- for example, by dumping its schools of Engineering and Science for Cosmetology and Intelligent Design -- the university would be pilloried by the academic community, and deservedly so." | | |

Wow, you would've loved to go to RIT.
Remember you told me about one of the daughters of the Ohio State coach that goes to RIT? I just found out she's my friend's good friend.
He got to go to a game couple weeks ago. FREE. Everything was FREE. First class plane ticket. Then he sits in the first row. He had dinner with the whole team, played pool with her dad.
She's pretty cute too. And she's in the ballroom dancing club. Hahaha, you could've been her partner.
He said their family is like the royal family in Ohio.
Yin:
FUCK I could have been Ohio State royalty too.
Mike:
Told you, you could've been her ballroom partner. And gone to all the games for FREE. Time to transfer. | | |
| Me and Yiyi have this dumb-luck/fate thing going on--next case in point:
I spent Saturday afternoon with her--we had lunch and walked around the Public Gardens and Newbury Street. I told her about my short stories workshop, and how Prof. Diaz made a point of saying that we (people in general) find it difficult to believe that the most interesting things to write about are our everyday lives. I then made a point of saying that I could probably write a short story about that afternoon, and Yiyi told me to show it to her if I do so.
In my workshop today we got the prompt for our first full-length short story (we've been writing character descriptions up to this point):
A story about a relationship that has an end. | | |

horrible parts are fine. Especially when you don't have anything else
going, the memories of her are lethal."
