MIT Is Easy When You Study Biology

The MIT Chorallaries have this one amazing song that I have always wanted to find the lyrics for, but have been unable, so I will transcribe them for you!

If you want a happy time here’s the way
Pick your classes so you always get an A
You big nerds, all in course 6
Have no free time, we both agree
While I play bingo and pickup sticks
We’ll both still get a Tech degree

MIT is easy when you study biology
Or course 13, or course 13
Planetary science is the ultimate party scene
Just like 15, just like 15

My one problem set is due the first of May
If it’s past or late I’ll go find my TA
Bat my eyes and act real ditsy
Say he’s cute and flirt in class
I hope that med school will be this easy
I’ll get an A, and I will pass

MIT is easy when you study biology
Learn about proteins, examine genes
Imagine if you never had to hand in a problem set
Get lots of sleep, that’s what you’d get

My TA speaks real good English
We look at the zebra fish
There’s no math or calculation
It’s easier than mastication

My exams are a fiesta
Grades are on an A+ scale
And in class there’s a siesta
You never fail, you never fail

MIT is easy when you study biology
We party lots, others cannot
While you’re dressed to study, we run out to get our booze
Or hit the snooze, or hit the snooze

MIT is easy when you study biology
Intense premeds, four-color pens
All you have to do is have a pulse and you’ll get an A
Class is a laugh don’t need no math

MIT is easy when you study biology

Awesome song. BTW, VLC currently has a santa hat on it.

Putz

After enjoying a nice evening in Kresge watching the MIT Logs perform, I returned home and immediately became bored. I began calling my friends trying to find someone who was doing something fun. I called Cathy and she was having a LAN party. I decided to go over and visit her at east campus in 2W. Putz. I found them in the Wood lounge all playing Age of Empires II. I wanted to join in so I took out my laptop and obtained a copy of the game. First, I was recommended to not try it in linux under wine so I booted into Vista. I got to EC at 11, and worked until about 3 trying to get the game to start. It was always throwing the error “Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatable with DirectDraw.” I tried everything from installing DirectX9.0c to uninstalling my video driver to trying everything else. There’s even someone on a mac playing it in a virtual machine. I gave up.

After everyone was done with their game, we all went around crufting. We wandered the tunnels collecting things. Cathy got two drum lids and a wooden box. I got myself a hex wrench. We then returned to EC after collecting our things and collected in Kevin’s room all with our laptops each doing our own thing.

Avoid Windows. And old Windows games.

Resonance

Craig came over to BC and requested me come down to add him to the guest list. Guest list? Since when did BC have a guest list? Well, I went down to desk to pick him up for a little bit of rockband. We were all hungry so we decided to go to Cosi in Kendall for dinner. After a nice meal, we made it to 10-250 for the Resonance concert. It was a nice concert with the Premium Blend from Ithica College, Logs, and Ridonkulous. They made a video parody of The Killers – Mr. Brightside. I just now watched the real video and realized why they did pick that video to parody. I enjoyed the concert… Not much else to say except for pictures.
