Love and Rockets
Fever
Four weeks have passed since the start of the school year.
Autumn is here, and shades of red and gold are popping up here and there around Cambridge. In a few weeks they will have all fallen to the ground.
I have a four day weekend, and today I wandered around Cambridge with no real direction to where I was going. If I saw an interesting side street, I went down it. If a house caught my eye, I would pause to look at it. It was a nice break from my studies.
And that brings me to my other topic. Classes. Yes, they have been tough, and I've failed a couple tests (or barely passed if you look at the curve). For once I'm not at the top of the class. For once I'm actually finding it difficult to absorb every bit of information. It's quite disorienting. Frightening. Petrifying. Sometimes I want to go home.
But then I have these little triumphs. Small breakthroughs. And I'm lifted higher out of my misery. But at the end of the week, when I take the time to breathe a little, I realize how much I've actually learned. In the end, these are just growing pains.

Hi Biyeun,
I'm a senior at Mount Si, Dr. Smith said you went to MIT and coincidentally I ran across your website from the NHS one.
I'm looking at colleges to apply to, and MIT certainly intrigues me. I have a few questions for you about the school, and what your experience has been like thus far, so if you wouldn't mind I'd really appreciate it if you could email me at kylesw@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hey-
If you're ever looking for good things to shoot, etc., I'd love to show you some touristy and not-so-touristy places around Boston. Just lemme know.

Your photography is amazing! And I'm still basically speechless every time I come to your site. . . . I admire your design skills so much. I friended you on Facebook a while ago, and I feel bad that we've never met in person, since you seem really cool.
