This just in from Cyndi:<\/p>\n
First week here at MIT has been non-stop – even beyond typical MIT level. We’re
\ndoing a design challenge using the Lego Mindstorms robotics, which takes up the
\nevenings. So my schedule has been 8 am to midnight here every day this week.
\nThe competition is tomorrow, then I can sleep.<\/p>\n
My on campus room isn’t available until Feb 4. I don’t have the room number &
\naddress yet. Will send it when I do.<\/p>\n
My laptop finally arrived today. I’ve been using a loaner from Tricia and John
\nfor the last few days. It will be good to have my own and get everything set
\nup properly.<\/p>\n
The SDM program shares space with the leaders for manufacturing (LFM) program.
\nThere are work spaces, a student lounge and breakroom. Also lockers, so I have
\na place to leave things during the day. Nice set up, really. So far I’ve
\nreceived the SDM logo backpack and a very warm SDM logo fleece jacket. Good
\nthing. The classroom we’ve been in all week is cold.<\/p>\n
Great group of people here, from all over the world. My design challenge team
\nincludes people from China, Chile, India and San Antonio.<\/p>\n
So the summary so far is good people, good teachers, Lego robots and not much
\nsleep.<\/p>\n
More updates later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
