I love MIT. If I don't get something during my lectures at the university in Bergen, I can just check out the same lecture at MIT, online, for free. Learning^2

This whole being happy thing is alright but it's not helping her to find JRL Phelps, which is her sole purpose in life now.

That's cool. I suggest walking around repeatedly shouting MAN WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL OF THESE RARE BOOTLEGS OF THE CURE, I SURE WISH A RECLUSIVE SINGER SONGWRITER WOULD TAKE THEM OFF MY HANDS.

Yes, this is awesome. It has helped me through several classes, especially linear algebra (the MIT professor who holds that course is awesome) and algorithms (held by one of the dudes who wrote the textbook), and I loved Yale's intro to psychology as well (I've taken/am taking a couple of psych classes for easy credit). I sucked at algorithms, but I'm retaking it this year and understanding more. I'll definitely rewatch the MIT course as well. Not that our lecturer is bad, he's been awarded the Teaching Award at school and has written a Python book for Apress and is writing another one, but he doesn't go into details in classes like Leiserson does.
Oh, and MIT's physics 1 is awesome! I've always disliked physics, but that course made it amusing and easier to understand which made it way more motivating to actually study, not just think about how I hate physics, and I finally passed the first-year physics course in third grade with a grade above passing, even.

Went to open mic last night, played hella Beatles covers with my buddy Lukas. The guy who runs the thing, an Elvis impersonator named Bob, asked us afterward if we'd ever considered going pro. We're gonna call him up on Tuesday and see what he's got in mind. I do know he just got back from playing for a few thousand people in Hong Kong, and the dude makes bank doing his Elvis thing.
tl;dr I want to go to Hong Kong and play Beatles covers
