We made it into Boston today and decided to take an
unscheduled trip to Cambridge to visit Harvard and MIT. Really I just needed some more t-shirts, and
I felt like spending twice as much on them to get a school’s logo on the front.
Since we had made the trek across town to get here, and paid
for an all-day pass to ride the train, we decided to stroll around campus and
wonder what life would have been like had we gone to Harvard instead of our
respective schools. This of course
assumes that we could have actually gotten IN to Harvard. I believe the prevailing feelings on this
were that my wife wouldn’t have had an issue, but there is some doubt about
me making it in. I don’t care, though,
because I have a Harvard t-shirt now, and they can never take that away from
me!
On the way back to the hotel, we decided to stop off and
visit the MIT store too. I mean if
you’re going to buy smart-wear, then let’s go all out! I have to admit that I didn’t really understand
most of the shirts in the store. I was
bombarded by formulas and equations that were probably hilarious to an MITer,
but left me standing there for 10 min trying to figure out what that funny “S”
looking symbol meant in that Mathematics formula.
In the end, I selected a shirt that used formulas and
equations to spell out the letters “MIT”.
My wife bought a ginormous coffee mug.
But it wasn’t until we got back to the hotel and were showing off our
treasures that we realized that her coffee mug had the same formulas and
equations spelling out the letters “MIT”!
Great minds think alike, I guess.
Or maybe great minds are stumped alike.
Tonight we ordered pizza, being too tired to go find
something, and had it delivered to our room.
The pizza showed up looking like the guy had thrown the box down the
stairs. Oh well, it still tastes the
same, and at least it’s not on my lap!
