One word

I was on Lauren's blog just now, and I randomly decided to hit the next blog button, something I hadn't done in a while. After a blog about education that appeared to have been started by a college student for a class, I came across another blog, called "Who am I not to say?" The first thing that caught my eye was the quote in the about line. It said, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?… There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do…as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~M. Williamson. I like this a lot, so I just thought I'd share. The second thing I noticed was the most recent post. The author of the blog asked her readers for a random word, then spent sixty seconds writing whatever came to her mind with the word. It turned out rather well, I thought, and apparently she does it a lot, with a website called oneword.com, that wasn't working at the moment. I think I'll check it out.

Pictures

Aha! I just realized that I said that Mystery Hunt pictures were to follow, so I will put some of my favorites up. I think there are a lot. The incredible cubing Fred. Tim took this picture of me at the team party Thursday night. As of tomorrow it will be on the wall in English. Tim wants you all to remember this when he takes over the world;-) Opening ceremonies. A LOT of people. Puzzling. I don't think I have ever seen so many laptops in one place. So we took a walk around the campus the first night, I think, and came across this really cool, shiny, white, leaning wall. Another cool wall, this one in ESG, which was our team headquarters. That's Lauren, Scott and Katya. I heart Maddie! And the incredible cubing Kara. This is a sweet action photo if ever there was one. This is the dorm I stayed in. Ha ha, I love MIT:-) Sunday! in a random hallway. Great fun. We found this bar and grill called The Miracle of Science and had to eat lunch there. A pile of futons on the fourth floor. There is a story here but I was not a part of it. We were all lying there and then we started singing Nonabelian, which is a spoof on Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkle with much cooler words, just in case you were wondering:-P My friends: Clockwise from bottom left, that's Katya, Me, Tim, Scott, a half-hidden Kara, Lauren, and Maddie, with Yasha in the middle. That's all from Boston, folks. Thanks for watching!
