Bonjour Olin community!

Je m'appelle Steven. I'm a junior from Michigan, studying Electrical and Computer Engineering here at Olin.

So in this blog post, I'll tell you a bit about how I ended up at Polytechnique, why I'm still in Europe a month after my study away semester ended, and show a blurb from a blog post I wrote two months ago, when I was still at Polytechnique.

On Friday, April 15th, Olin SAC hosted its annual formal dance at the Museum of Science in Boston.  I had the pleasure of going in a group of good looking women and two handsome men.  We got all dolled up, went out for Indian food in Brookline, and headed to the museum.  Once we arrived, we perused the exhibits and then the dancing and music started.  I had a great time and it was great to get off campus and relax for the night.
