:: Pedantic Platitudes ::
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.

This morning, I got up early to have a goodbye breakfast with Katie. Her flight left at noon, and so we had breakfast at Annenberg Hall, the dining center for freshmen. Then, we talked for one last little bit of time, and I took Katie to the T stop, where we bid each other farewell until the summer. Ah, how wonderful it was to have a friend visit. I send out a cordial invitation to all my friends to visit me here at Harvard. As Katie will probably advocate, come to Boston for a good time!
I had Vietnam War class and math section. Then, it was a lunch break before heading to a chemistry problem solving lecture. After that, I went to the William James Hall, where I participated in two 15-minute psych studies, one right after another. They paid very well, and I ended up making $10 in 30 minutes. That, and I got to learn a little something about psychology. Play rehearsal began at 6 p.m. again, so I went to dinner soon after 5.
It was another long rehearsal today, but this time it was much better because I actually got to do stuff! A newly added scene that I am in was choreographed and blocked, and we went over that scene several times before going into a full run-through of the show. It's really coming along nicely. We open on Thursday.
When I finally returned to my dorm around midnight, I discovered that the college had upheld its promise to do its part to provide a safe environment for its students. The trash in that room was cleared out, as was everything else... the dirty clothes, the plastic tumblers stolen from the dining hall, the stained sheets, the hideous posters. Finally, an end to the anguish. It was like the joyous freedom after liberation from an oppressive regime of fear.
We remaining roommates had a great talk this evening. It was a friendly conversation that reminded me of the fresh start of the beginning of the year. It really was a new start, and here we have another new start. Here's to an excellent rest of the year.
