Supposedly, (I’m not making this up or anything. It seems to be the general consensus even if you ask MIT kids that seriously know about Caltech) Caltech is harder than MIT in terms of both course difficulty and course load (trimester). Therefore, I think I’ll have a lot less free time than you. I think everyone here spends just about the whole day doing problem sets.

I returned the ethernet cable and got my own now. Caltech’s alright. I suppose it would be more fun at MIT since I know more people (you included and PGSSers), but I think I have different definitions of fun than other people. But I think things will work out.

I swear if Caltech’s anything like MIT (which I think it is, only less awesome of course), then once Orientation ends and classes start and such you’ll have a lot more free time than you anticipated… because I know you won’t be up all night doing homework, so like me, you’ll have free time at night with nothing to do. It will get better!

Glad to hear you’re having fun! (The story about the ethernet cable is awesome!) I am really glad you’re enjoying it. Now just imagine how much fun we’d be having if you came here. [It's about four times the fun we're each having now. Oh well.]

Can’t wait to hear about your ironic day.
