what they want.

But I guess it helped to be able to have a little bit of that story and some of that network to like petition or whatever, put a good word in once it was on the wait list.

So, yeah.

Oh, I loved MIT.

Yeah, but I love that.

You know, and I think that's the thing is like, actually, I loved it way more than my experience at Harvard, but like, not to say that other people don't like each for their own, but it was just...

I like the fact that it was intense and you knew where you stood.

It wasn't a bunch of kids bullshitting.

You'd take the courses that you're ready for and they'd get you up to the next speed and not a bunch of... If everybody gets an A, then you can pretend that you know stuff and you have kids sitting in on courses they shouldn't be in and then who knows what.

It's like babble versus it just felt more like you went in, worked hard, you got something out of it.

I love structure and something helping push you

So I ended up majoring in physics.

So when I went in, there's like a lot of just general institute requirements at the beginning, first year or so.

I was able to sneak into being like this internship at Kennedy Space Center with a bunch of older aero-astro kids.

And then I think it was after that first summer, I also interned at Boeing.

And I guess at the time I was scared of like this whole like narrative of like the airplane build and like flying as a kid, like how much that would...

uh, confined me.

And I, so I guess my rebelling was like going, the other option was physics somehow.

And so I, I liked, I liked my physics courses.

I did well.
