M I R R E N it's such a good show, it'll help you connect with your peers! watch it, i'm assigning you homework now.

[everett howe]

E. Howe At least you’re not telling me to watch Breaking Bad, that got old quickly.

[mirren hewitt]

M I R R E N i deleted that message on my end because i can't tolerate such slander. Mad Men?

[everett howe]

E. Howe I don’t watch a lot of TV. I did watch Breaking Bad, don’t worry. It was just annoying to have people constantly asking me about the accuracy of things in it or other science-adjacent shows.

[mirren hewitt]

M I R R E N ooh duh, not sure how i didn't put that one together. cinematic television. what do you like...do, outside of school.

[everett howe]

E. Howe Besides research and study, not a whole lot. I go to the gym, I read, I used to surf (surprise), I’ll ride a bike or leave town to go hike. I learned how to play Mahjong from my labmate. What do you do?

[mirren hewitt]

M I R R E N fun fact you can surf in the hamptons, not kidding. hang out with friends, walk around, sometimes we go back home or out to the beach depending on the weather. get dinner, go thrifting, commandeer coffee shops and work on pinterest boards. lots to do!

[everett howe]

E. Howe I'm a little rusty but I would give it a shot. Maybe I'll check it out over spring break. That all sounds fine and normal. People always try so hard in those icebreaker questions, like having regular hobbies is frowned upon.

M I R R E N it's the culture where you have to have like, a specific unique point only you have to be noticed. very social media - i just like doing easy things, never harm in finding fun in every day life. because then the big things are actually big, not just par for the course!

[everett howe]

E. Howe Yeah, a bunch of hardos, right? Learned that from a New Yorker.

[mirren hewitt]

M I R R E N embarrassing, never say that again.

[everett howe]

E. Howe You can come to OH once a week to teach me a new word.

[mirren hewitt]

M I R R E N i'm doing fine in the class, i don't need to!! if i mysteriously start failing also I know what's happening. you've lost!

[everett howe]

E. Howe Well now I just like bothering you. So that's a long-term loss for you.

[mirren hewitt]

M I R R E N oh because you're so hip? whatever will i do.
