If you see about about 28 DUers, wandering aimlessly in the DU corridors, with blank stares,

speaking gibberish - say hello. It is we who used to proudly wear the name of MIRT who are in the midst of the big letdown/withdrawl!

Shout out to my friends who are wandering about with me!

In truth, I felt a bit "lost" for several weeks after my two terms on MIRT.

This too shall pass.
