i was in harvard square the other day waiting for their famous unofficial tour to start. standing next to me was this guy who kept smiling at me. i thought he was just being nice so i smiled back. then he came up to me and apologized because he thought i was someone he knew. but he didn't stop there. he continued to talk about something but i couldn't quite understand him because he had an accent. he said he was from the sloan management school in MIT. i don't know what he does there. he insisted on giving me his phone number. then he asked for mine! again, i didn't catch why. so i gave him a false number. hehehe im so sneaky :) before he left, he said that he'll definitely give me a call. i wonder if the number i gave him actually works...

so more about harvard. i learned quite a bit about this prestigious school on the tour and all i have to say is that they are ridiculous.

1. harvard is the second richest instituion in the world. the first being the roman catholic church.
2. for only $35 a semester, students can rent real artworks from the fogg museum to display in their room. imagine having a real monet or picasso hanging in your very own dorm room. insaneee. the catch of course is that you cannot have parties in your room. if you break it, you buy it. so the question is of course, would you rather show your friends a famous piece of artwork or your ability to throw one heck of a party?
