Well, my
36_stratagems fic is officially overdue, which is kind of embarrassing since it's my own damn ficathon. However, I do, in fact, have a good excuse.
That is, if "interviewing with and ultimately getting hired by the MIT Media Lab's Synthetic Neurobiology Group as a technical assistant" is a valid excuse. :)
I swear to god, I can't escape this place. Granted, I'm not trying very hard.

Ah, but I think in MIT's case it's much less creepy. You have a graduate school and various labs which hire people, making there be a lot more valid reasons for alumni to hang around. Whereas a tiny almost-entirely-residential college with only undergrad students and professors....it just gets to be creepy. Every year there were always a couple alums who'd keep stopping by, and it was always a little sad. Occasional alumni involvement is one thing (stopping by for certain events, especially while you still know people, or alumni weekend) but just hanging out in your old dorm on a Thursday night....creepy.
