There’s an old saying that getting an education at MIT is like drinking from a fire hose, and it’s absolutely true. Most days I drop into bed exhausted, but exhilirated. The people you meet and the ideas you’re constantly exposed to are incredible—this is one of the greatest things I’ve ever done. SO worth doing!

So can I scratch this off the list now, or do I have to wait two years? :)

I found out almost a month ago that I’m heading to MIT this fall to earn my Master’s in my dream program, their Comparative Media Studies program. There’s no doctorate in it, but maybe after that I’ll try and earn my Ph.D. from the MIT Media Lab, or maybe from Oxford if their OII initiative has fully developed by then.

I own a 15 gig ‘vanilla’ iPod and a 512MB shuffle for exercising. They’re both very cool.
