What is your impression of MIT so far?
I attended a string theory class which was probably way beyond me. … It was still really interesting, though.
What activities did you do in high school?
I’m on the math team. Actually, I came here for the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament earlier this year.

What is the most memorable thing you’ve done here?
I played card games at Random Hall. My favorite game was “1000 Blank White Cards.”

How has CPW been so far?
I love it! The ice cream, free food, everyone here … just looking around and checking out what an exciting place MIT is.
How much sleep do you plan on getting?
Let’s say negative infinity.

What’s the craziest experience you’ve had at CPW so far?
Probably seeing a naked guy in a box walking around. [Later identified as Brian A. Remlinger ’14, who was actually wearing a cardboard box, advertising for CryoFAC.]
Have any of the clubs here caught your eye?
The chess club. Chess is my hobby. … I did math team in high school — didn’t everybody here? I’m also editor of my high school newspaper, so maybe I’d like to continue that here.

What have you been up to during CPW so far?
I took a practice Harvard-MIT Math Tournament test. I attended the tournament this year and last year.

You could say that. If I came here, it would be a lot of fun to write problems for the tournament.
Where are you staying for CPW?
Bexley. It’s an interesting place. There are cats.
Raluca Ifrim

What do you think of MIT so far?
MIT is great. Boston is really interesting, too. I wandered through some pretty scary places while looking for pika.

No. I’m temped at New House right now. I never even found pika, actually.
