Home Sweet Home

While out doing some last-minute shopping today, I spotted this charming shirt on the guy in front of me in line:

If you can't tell, the fabric is a camo print.

It's great to be home in the only red county in Maryland!

The Difference

Its been awhile since I complained about the quality education I received from Lehman College, but I got something in the mail today that made me laugh:

I had actually sort of forgotten that I technically earned a Master's, since it's been THREE MONTHS since I turned in my thesis and I haven't heard anything from Lehman in the meantime.  So while MIT can turn around a few thousand fancy-looking diplomas in the less than three weeks between the end of spring term and graduation, it takes Lehman over three months to send its graduates an apparently type-written piece of paper, along with the a note that I will be "notified by mail about distribution of diplomas [in] approximately three months."

Was MIT just exceptionally efficient at diploma production, or is Lehman just exceptionally pathetic?
