Half way through college

I can't believe that today was the last day of classes.  It feels like just yesterday we were sent home from college, and time has stopped ever since.  April absolutely flew bye.  I am very proud to have completed all of the assignments and projects in 20.109 that seemed daunting at the beginning of the semester.  Although, I have mixed feelings about sophomore year coming to a close.  On the one hand, I am very proud of what I have accomplished in my first two years at MIT.  I have learned a lot and am interested in the material that we learn, I have gotten to know an amazing group of friends and peers, and I have participated in fascinating research, both in and out of the classroom.  Because I have loved my first to years of college so much, I am also sad to say that I am half-way through college.  I feel like freshman and sophomore year went by so quickly, and am nervous that junior and senior year will feel equally fast. I'm not sure what my life will look like in 2 more years in terms of where I will go or what I will be doing, which becomes more and more stressful as we approach the end of college.  Also, of course, I'm sad to be apart from all of you, and I'm nervous that another semester of my college experience will be remote.

That being said, I am extremely thankful to go to a school that makes leaving seem so sad.  I have no doubt that we will make the most of the situation if we do end up being remote in the fall, and nothing will be more exciting than when we finally return to campus.  I cannot wait to see all of you again at an awesome reunion lunch!  I hope you have wonderful summers!!

With love,
Karenna

Jesus H Christ, I am so tired. Objectively, no human has ever been as tired as me. Not one. Not even Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street when she's staying up for days to not get murdered by Freddy Krueger. Not even that other lady from Nightmare on Elm Street when she's staying up for days to not get murdered by Freddy Krueger. On the positive side, I am not staying up for days to not get murdered by Freddy Krueger. In fact, the lab report keeping me up is quite docile compared to him. Even quite docile compared to many of the assignments in 20.109. It's a summary of a semester's research that accomplished a little less than the whole of Mod1. So, if there's one thing I can be grateful for about 20.109, its that it makes other classes look easy.

A Message from the Peak of Everest

Hello world. As I stand here about twenty feet from the summit, a sense of accomplishment washes over me. It's an undertaking few have conquered. Still, at the same time I feel a sense of dread. I made it here, but what about the trip on the way down? Supplies are lower than expected, the crew is tired, and the nights have been getting longer and longer. There's a small chance we might not even have enough oxygen for the next two days, I haven't had the chance to do the math. Why are we even up here? What hubris drove us to try to conquer this majesty of nature? What were we looking for? Looking out across the broken and jagged Himalayas, I feel contemplative. It's about 6:34 am, and the darkness is starting to lift. Wind is strong, but no snowfall. We dug ourselves a little crevasse to shield ourselves from the wind, and we're on the east side of the mountain. 2 more minutes till sunrise. It was a difficult trip up. It was lonely and sad and cold and

The End

The end of this class feels like there's still unfinished business, but I feel like that is the inevitable outcome of a lab class going remote. Module 3 seemed like a really interesting experiment to perform in person, so I'm definitely a little bummed that we could only experience it virtually with different data analysis platforms. Overall though, 20.109 was one of the most relevant and interesting classes I have taken at MIT. It was my first taste of course 20 lab classes, and I was excited that some of the techniques we used in lab were things I had done before in internships and UROPs. It makes the work we do seem so much more relevant to my future endeavors in research. Moreover, I have never done this much scientific writing before, and it was rewarding to get so much feedback from the BE Comm Lab and the professors. Thank you all for an enjoyable semester and for working so hard to convert the class to an online format in a very small period of time.
