Greetings! My name is Sam J and I am a student at Harvard University. Perhaps this blog will present a little look into the mundane yet unique events that make up my life.

It's such a beautiful day today! It's sunny, and it's warm. I will be able to wear shorts and my Hawaiian shirt. Yay!
This morning was a horrible, horrible chemistry test. Afterwards, I had a nice chat with an assistant dean at the Freshman Deans' Office. At noon and through the early afternoon I took a long, much-needed nap to recover from the long night of studying for chemistry.
After my nap, I went to do a couple of psychology studies, which resulted in a net revenue of $22 in two hours. I'm endeavoring to recoup my losses from all my shopping and going out last week. Today was one small step towards refilling my wallet.
Tonight, I got to hear comedian Lewis Black speak as part of the Institute of Politics' Political Humor Series. Lewis Black appears on the "Back in Black" segment of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and he is famous for his angry rants and bitingly sarcastic wit. Like he appears on television, he was very funny. He talked about various things, from the role of humor in politics today, to his success as a playwright and a comedian. My favorite line was when he was talking about the crazy weather in Boston: "You don’t see that kind of weather, even in the Bible!" He also gave good advice to the youth of today. It was fun to watch him do his famous angry yelling when he got worked up on certain topics.
It's a beautiful evening, and my friend and I took a long walk to the video rental place to finally return a movie that was due two weeks ago. Oops! Now, it is time for homework.
