"ZOMG CPW and other acronyms"
HOLY COW GUYS! CPW IS ALMOST HERE (42 minutes as of right now) You know what that means right? RIGHT? That's right, it means you guys will be setting foot on campus, many of you for the first time, to experience what a little bit of MIT is like. Can't sleep? Curious about what to expect? You can read some guest entries (including mine!) from the current freshmen class about CPW last year to give you an idea of how things will go down. One thing you should know for sure is that the much acclaimed weather machine is up and running in order to give you all some of the best weather we've had all year. Seriously, if you haven't looked at the forecast, it's wonderful. Friday especially. Now you might hear some muggles doubt the power of the weather machine, but I assure you it's real! How does it work? Magic! Like a lot of things here.
So what events should you do? That totally depends on what you like and what events are happening this year, but I will tell you some of my favorites from last year. They include:
Bouncy Ball Drop
Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream
Meet The Bloggers (duh)
Welcome Festival
ADP Foam Party
Zombie Movies
...and more!
seriously guys, I'm excited for you all, it's going to be such an awesome weekend, enjoy it!

OMG you guys are crazy close! I didn't expect anyone to actually have any idea. I'm impressed. (and true to my word, if that helps) I'll let you know who gets it first

CPW is the art of sleeping vertically and rewake with the same method.

My guess had been
C.Y.G.W.T.S.F? I.F.C,I.B.Y.C!
Can you get what this stands for?
Interfraternity Council, I bet you can.

Haha, my guess was going to be "Can you guess what this stands for? If you can, I'll buy you Coke!"
Can I get a Coke?

That is what you Texans call it, right? :P
Posted by: Mikey on April 17, 2009 01:27 AM
Howdy howdy! Isn't that how all Texans talk? XD
Just wanted to let you know that I've got a new blog (still doing LJ, but this is more dedicated): Shelf Life. And you're on my blogroll, yay!

@Mikey
It took me a while to realize what you meant by "That's what you Texans call it right?" but yes, "Coke" can refer to any soda beverage. As long as you don't call it "pop".
