:: 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.

Today, I went to a couple of my classes. In Science B-29, we watched a film about remarkable adaptations in the plant world, and it was narrated in such a humorously dramatic way that we all laughed. It was also kind of creepy to see some of the plants trapping the insects, which had no way out after they were stuck.
After Chinese class, I rushed back to Leverett, where I met up with two of my friends, one of which had her dad drive us to Crestwood in Yonkers, New York. Yonkers, where my friend is from, is a city just a little north of New York City. There was a lot of traffic initially because of all the people leaving for Thanksgiving weekend, but it did clear up after we got out of Massachusetts. I slept for much of the trip because I was so tired, but we got to my friend's house at about seven in the evening; it was a drive that took between three and four hours. We settled down and put our stuff away; we then met my friend's cousin, who is a freshman at Princeton University. She's a very friendly person who is originally from Louisiana. Then we had dinner, which consisted of spaghetti and meatballs.
Following dinner, we watched a video that my friend had made during her senior year in high school. It was rather humorous, with one of her friends donning a wig and pretending to be Barbara Walters. We had a lively conversation into the evening, and then we went to bed because we were tired from the day's journey.
