Laura's Home Page

Hello, and welcome to my home page. Perhaps you prefer the Meep! page? It isn't useful, but I'm ok with that. (In contrast, my page at LCS has been useful, if only to me.)

Groups

Exciting activities, past and present:

• Epsilon Theta, a pretty cool house of about thirty men and women. I am currently treasurer of its alumni corporation.

• Freshman year, I played trombone in the MIT Concert Band; sophomore and junior years, I sang in the Concert Choir.
• Gilbert and Sullivan Players
• GaMIT
• MIT's Living Pink guide

People

I'm no longer trying to keep an up-to-date list of friends, but I do have some. They include a bunch of ET people, and Alea, EK, Erik, Erin, that Jeff guy, Katy, and probably some people whose names start later in the alphabet.

History

My major at MIT was 6-3, Computer Science. My thesis work was part of the IOA project of the Theory of Distributed Systems group at LCS. I was also almost a linguistics minor. You can see which classes I took; that's a popular home page pastime.

I'm originally from Birmingham, Alabama. In summers I used to go to a program called TIP. I was a TA for a CS class there in July 1999 and 2000 as well. There's also a less official TIP page and a TIP Alumni page.

Other Links

For my convenience, a link to the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML, and one to google. And OCaml (and the associated O'Reilly book, in English).
