Bits and Bobs
• 'The don't walk sign outside the Mass Av. steps flashes 15 times after the bleeping stops. Shaves those seconds off waiting to cross the road!

• Attend office hours if you can as they can be a great place to get to know your classmates and they can often help explain the problem set (p-set).
• Junior Mints Rule!!!
• Have a look at your p-set before recitations and office hours so you know what you need help with.

• You will need an 80¢ stamp to post a letter home. Stamps can be purchased from the post office in the Student Center basement.
• The blue bin like things are letterboxes!
• It is very hard to get an appointment with your doctor at MIT Medical but unless it is very serious, the nurses are generally suitable substitutes.
