MIT

This post is gonna be about MIT.
a. I'm a bit young to be worrying about college. I get that.
b. Even though I'm a bit young, MIT sounds/looks like the best place on the planet.

I want to work at Google, too. Big plans. It feels like I wanna just fast forward through high school and apply to MIT. I don't know if I would make it, and I'm trying not to get my hopes up or put all my eggs in one basket, but wow. It just seems so much more fun than other colleges. Where else to people hack their school? Where else can you walk into a room where everyone thinks the same way you do? What other school compares their applicants to hikers? I love this. Here's a video, if you don't know much about MIT:

Doesn't that look amazing? Google is the same way. It's like a version of MIT, but instead of staying until you graduate, you can stay forever. You can do what you love, and know that everyday you're making a difference. I'm smiling as I'm writing this because I'm thinking about it.

Hello, World

First post. I made this blog because of inspiration. It's 2:32 AM right now. My inspiration to make a blog:
-Watching The Social Network.
-MIT Admissions Blogs
-Being up late at night
-Having a place I can dump all my thoughts into
-Having a place safe from people in my school
-I'm sick of Twitter's micro-blogging format in which you can only use 140 characters to express your thoughts.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I just hit 80 WPM last night, too. That's kind of a part of it, I guess. It's not a reason for making the blog, but it's a plus. I don't know if this blog is an in-the-moment thing or if it's gonna be something I take with me through high school and college, and I hopefully I can make it better by learning HTML and stuff. For now, I'm sticking to learning JavaScript, but I waver a lot with learning languages. I was learning Python a week and a half ago. My first language that I ever tried was C++. I failed at it. I then did a bit of Batch (@echo off stuff) and HTML. I don't remember much of anything from HTML besides <p> and </p>. Or is that just because I watched The Social Network? Hmm. (Funny thing I just noticed: typing < or > in Google's simple blog posting shows "&lt;" or "&gt;" in HTML. Maybe if I ever learn HTML I'll know more about that.

I'm NOT going to update this blog regularly. I don't even know if I'll update it at all. I'm not good with sticking to schedules. Inconsistency is my middle name. I don't want it to feel like, "Ugh. Time to update my blog." I want it to be something more like, "Wow. That was interesting. I'm gonna blog about that."


//there used to be a paragraph here, but my mind is controversial so I backspace a lot. I don't like it.

Anyways, welcome to my blog. :)
