Only priests and fools expected the roads in that part of the world to be safe.

It's good to be back.

My journey began at just past 8:00 pm, Pacific time, on Sunday the 26th, when my I got in the car with my parents and dog and headed up the 405. According to my boarding pass, the flight was scheduled to depart from LAX at 10:36 PST and land in Newark at 6:45 EST the next morning. According to my memory, the flight departed a little after midnight and arrived around 8:30. If we are to assume that my memory and not my boarding pass is correct, we may also assume that I missed my connection to Burlington.

Waiting with Bate(s)d Breath

Hello there, readers. It's been a while, hasn't it? Do you like the pun attempt I made in the title?
No? Yeah, well, it was a bit shoddy. Either way, it accurately describes these past few days of Summer. If you have not yet gleaned from my title and subsequent commentary, I am still home. In California. Waiting to fly to Bates. In Maine. However, it's Wednesday, and Raku made a post, so I thought I would as well, even if I'm not technically in college right now.
Onwards? Onwards.

MIT!

Hello everyone! This will be my first ever post on TEMYDEWA. It seems like there are quite a few readers based on the page view counter, so for those who don't know me, I'm Raku, an incoming freshman at MIT. I'm not much of a writer, but I hope you'll enjoy my blog posts as I share my adventures here in Cambridge.

Take what is secure and use it to grow.  Each block a new responsibility.  The tower stands tall, an impressive feat considering the time it was given to grow.  But was it built too quickly?  Were the blocks placed in the right places?  The fight against gravity begins.

WHY IS RICH POSTING A NON-VIDEO ON A NON-THURSDAY?!

Just a couple logistical things.  Literally a couple.

1) There's been a bunch of background changing going on recently--let's have a discussion in the comments of what we're looking for in a background and then have a volunteer do that thing?  Or suggest something else.  I just want a centralized discussion about the background, instead of a bunch of edits being made randomly.

2) Welcome Raku!  I think your day defaulted to Saturday, but some people (?) expressed interest in changing days, so maybe you could trade around with someone.

Looking forward to another year of awesome blogging.
