  Race to the Taste this morning!! Awesomeness!! Tons of happy people, a fun run along Michigan Ave, the lakefront, and grant park! What a beautiful Sunday morning!!! :) I had a blast, was just running for fun and still finished in just under 28, which is ok for my very first 5K.
I want to get it down to 26 by the next one I run though, and I think it's totally possible since I had a ton left in me at the end of it all! And I even got a "yeah mit!! " from the sidelines...not sure who it was, but very cool :) (I was running with an MIT shirt on) And the taste itself!!
Yay for vegan friendly food (unlike that little festival to the north ;) ) Veggie ribs, veggie dogs, veggie indian food, corn, fruit, mmmm. Oh so delicious! :) So I'm up to the MIT chapters of A Beautiful Mind now. I was reading it on the el (woah, almost said T) ride back from the taste today. All the talk of living in boston, walking across the bridge to MIT, building 2, professors like Mattuck being quoted (how LONG has that guy been there?? ), talk of professors who go on random tangents and don't ever get to the point (reminds me of crazy 18.03 recitation instructor...mr excuse me while I go snort something and come back and teach you...yeah, him) Good memories :) I was smiling and this girl next to me on the el was like "fond memories" I was like, totally! :) It's funny how a place basically doesn't change in 50 years while so much in the world is so different.
MIT still had a gazillion kids from Sty, still has the same old buildings and offices and common rooms, still has a lot of the professors that were there in the 50s, and for the most part teaches all the same classes! Kinda cool when you think about it :) OK...off to watch movies this afternoon (Roger and Me! And I don't even have to drive through the snow to get it this time!)! Go Michael Moore!! :) Summerfest again tomorrow...Lewis Black! Who is in??
