New Toys. I Has It.

WOO! The Canon Powershot SD940 IS!
Quick Review: It fits in my pocket, takes incredible pictures and HD video, goes from pocket to picture taking in seconds, unfortunately doesn't have manual aperture or shutter speed controls, and is under $200.
HIGHLY Recommended for anyone wanting a tiny camera but can live without those manual controls.

So with this new camera, I will show you the rest of my new toys.

But first-what I did last Sunday!

Last Sunday, I attended the MIT Alumni Club of Northern New Jersey and met some Alums of the past. Some were engineers, others were chemists, others cooked great burgers, and they all greeted me and the 3 other 2014's with open arms and advice. The other 2014s with me, all girls hehe, seemed pretty cool. All-in-all I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of my class.

Though some of the Alumni spoke of internships or their fraternity or how most engineers usually end up not doing engineering, they all agreed on one thing:

"You're not gonna know what hit ya."
-_- I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. See, this guy, a Sophomore now, video documented his Freshman Year at MIT. Let's just say he did a lot of homework. And not too much else...

I got a sick frisbee! It collapses into that pouch! And they had MIT logo balloons and napkins!


Then they had a contest for a door prize, given to the person with an X on their frisbee. Too bad no one had an x-ed up frisbee xp. So instead, they gave it to the 2014 who had the nearest birthday, and it happened to go to K (lemme keep people Anonynmous). Now, K opened up her box to reveal an adoreable plush Beaver! It wasn't Tim, just a regular looking beaver.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Within the box were TINY BEAVERS! 3 more to be precise, so all of the 2014s left with a Beaver. It's the perfect excuse to show off my camera's macro lens, so BAM:


And here, to show how small he is:

Woot. Nother post on packing for college, coming soon!
