First Post

My name is Amber Hess and I am a freshman at MIT. I will try to update this blog at least once a week but we'll see how that goes :-). My goal is to show people what MIT is like socially and academically. So, if you are a prospective student or you are just curious about MIT, you've come to the right place. If you have any questions please post them on the blog.

As for the name of the blog, "Smoots" are an actual measurement of distance. During rush a while back one pledge was used as a measuring stick on the Harvard Bridge. His last name was Smoots. The bridge measured 364.4 smoots and 1 ear. I thought that it would be a cool name for a blog, and it is one of many eccentric things at MIT.
