earthquake :)... and MIT sucks...

soo..."interesting" story.... went to bed last night at 4 or whatever, was woken UP at 6:30, by some nasty annoying beeping....sat in bed for a few minutes, not really sure what was going on. once i was fully awake, i realized that something outside my room was beeping, so i wandered into the hall, half naked and three-quarters blind of course), to find that they cut the power to Avery during construction, and the beeping was something associated with the elevator telling us "OH NO THE POWER'S GONE." and then 1.2 seconds later "OH NO THE POWER'S GONE." and then again.... If you think it's annoying to read that, you get about 8% of how annoying it was to hear it. so i pushed some red button, which closed the fire door over the elevator. but still with the beeping. so...it had battery backup power, or the door wouldn't have closed, but still was whining...stupid "engineers" should never have been allowed to graduate. probably from MIT.

haha... while we're on the topic of MIT sucking (and we were, trust me)...MIT sucks... so a few days ago DARPA had a press release where they...um...'released'.. the list of who qualified for the Qualifiers near the end of summer. qualifying for qualifiers...kinda weird...basically they cut it from 118 teams down to 40. So I'm reading through the list...dum de dum...well WE MADE IT :), ok let's see who else... Cornell got in, Stanford,CMU, Axion (with their infamous 'racing twins'), but lo and behold... MIT dissapoints once again (the first time was their painful excuse of a retaliation prank on us). Heck, even Palos Verdes High School's team made it.

Oh yeah, back on topic.... need to go.....quick summary then: there was beeping , and i couldn't sleep, so i went to sleep elsewhere, and at 9 or so i thought someone was kind of rocking my bed back and forth, trying to get me to wake up or something, but then i was told it was an earthquake. hehe...what a cute little earthquake. it was really subtle.... at first i didnt' feel it at all actually.

ok that was the executive summary version :)
