Well, that was sure a crazy idea, wasn't it? Hope you feel fulfilled.

There has just GOT to be more to this story.

Her profile saya a lot, but nothing about wanting to do a dime for the state.

To get into MIT she must be very smart. She also has zero common sense and I have no doubt it will cost her dearly.

Have you ever met an MIT student? Super high IQ, "special needs" EQ.
