School is almost over. Study-days begin this Friday and my
first exam is on next Tuesday. My last final is on Saturday the 12th. I
actually only have two finals. However, I have two research papers and a normal
paper to do within the next week. It's a lot of work, and instead of being with
people I won't be seeing for 3.5 months, I will necessarily be stuck in a
library or my room reading, writing, and ruing. But, I can't really complain
too much. Last weekend was really great, in a sort of boring way. Some folks
saw last weekend as the last weekend to "go out". So shananigans
occured. I, however, was unaware. On Friday afternoon I haphazardly organized
pickup soccer, which I'm getting better at with practice. I'll miss Newton
campus next year because the convenient soccer field will be long gone. Usually
we get a good little 7v7 game going. Friday night I hung out in the quad (4-person
dorm on my floor) and played Balderdash with Pat and 4-5 other friends. I had
just had a week of tests and papers and homework, so the laughs and friends
were greatly appreciated. On Saturday I played paintball with the guys from
Freshman League, a first-year club for guys to go do fun stuff. This activity
fit that description. I got to hang out with Jeff, for once! We have bizarrely
busy and opposite schedules, so any time together is celebrated with feast and
festival. You'd think that living in the same room would mean lots of
interaction. But you'd be wrong, of course. Saturday afternoon, after
paintball, I went with (edited) and Gina to see "A Midsummer Night's
Dream", a BC theater department production. The play was Bollywood inspired.
As it so happened, (edited) and I had ordered lots of Indian food from this
delivery Indian restaurant called Curry House right before the play. She
pointed out how cultured I was becoming. I pointed out how much I love naan. On
Sunday morning I left to meet Kei Masuda for lunch at Harvard Square. I had
told my friends that the first thing Kei would say would be something about my
height. I was correct! I'm a prophet! He walked me around campus and showed me
his dorm while we talked about lots and lots of things. We learned that we are
both staying in Boston for part of the summer, so hopefully we'll hang out more
soon. Also, Harvard is really stunning. There is no reason not to want to go
there. Here are some random photos!
