Everyone

COS 126 problem set 4 is going to be the reason I don't make it home for break. The autograder and I are no longer on speaking terms. E-Quad is my home now.

Final 106B problem set is officially submitted. Four years of CS and I still felt my soul leave my body at the autograder screen. Toyon, we celebrate tonight.

8.02 is teaching me that I do not, in fact, understand magnets. Or anything. But the study breaks have free pizza so I remain.

the laser in the Wilson lab is finally aligned and I almost cried. five weeks. FIVE WEEKS. if anyone needs me I'll be staring lovingly at an oscilloscope.

Just turned in a Crimson op-ed that is going to make exactly half of Winthrop dining hall stop sitting with me. Worth it.

Closing night of the Dramat fall show. I have run this light board so many times I see cues when I close my eyes. Strike starts at midnight, see you all in the morning, see you all broken.

Pulled an all-nighter in MITERS rewinding a motor that was never going to work. It works. I have transcended sleep.

spliced together my MCM 0150 final cut at 4am and the projector ate it. starting over. who needs sleep when you have a Steenbeck.

first week settling in at Harvard. the dining hall coffee is rough but the people are great.

106B section leader life: spent two hours helping a kid find a missing semicolon. Worth it. He's going to be dangerous in a year.

pushed a new version of the Harvard Computer Society site at 4am, broke the homepage, fixed it, broke it again. this is what they don't tell you about being webmaster.

Three Advocate submissions read, two espressos down, and Lamont is closing in fifteen minutes. The poetry comp does not sleep, and apparently neither do I.

Won the round, lost the will to make small talk at the Cap & Gown afters. Whig-Clio swept the tournament. We argued that the toga is a valid debate uniform. We did not win that part.

Pitched my third startup idea of the week at FloMo dinner. The table voted. It lost to a plan for a better dining-hall to-go box. I respect democracy.

The FSAE engine is in 47 pieces on the bench and I have never been happier. Powertrain lead life. See you all at the competition in May.

spent four hours convinced my CS50 bug was in my code. it was a misplaced semicolon. four. hours. I am going to go lie down in the Yard.

saw a double feature at Film Forum and made it back for my 9am ENGL W3011 on three hours of sleep. the things i do for the Criterion experience.

5:31am on the Housatonic, water like glass, and I'd still rather be doing this than my ECON 122 problem set. (The problem set is due in nine hours. Pray for me.)

stop sleeping in MITERS. there is a perfectly good East Campus 30 feet away. bring the soldering iron home and the iron stays in the lab, deal? <3

rowed at 5am, watched the sun come up over the Charles, and then immediately fell asleep in Ec10. balance is a myth they sell you at orientation.

Left a book on the Lamont desk for you with a note in the margin of page 40. You'll know it when you see it. Find me at the grille after.

filed my Herald arts column 11 minutes before deadline. it's about untranslatable German words. nobody will read it. i regret nothing.

Six weeks into freshman year and I finally understand the dining hall hours. This is my greatest academic achievement to date.

save me a seat at the Stat 110 review session, I'm coming straight from frisbee and will be sweaty and bad at counting. <3

The Pusey microfilm room has no windows and no mercy, but I have found the State Department cable that makes my History 13 paper. Worth every blink.

welcome Alex! we should grab lunch at Annenberg this week.

Whim 'n Rhythm rehearsal until 11, orgo lab report due at midnight, existential crisis scheduled for 12:01. Saybrook, if you hear someone harmonizing with a textbook, it's me.

Wind tunnel run today and my airfoil model held at full load. Building 33 erupted in a small dignified cheer. Best day of the semester.

Pulled an all-nighter in the PD loft and my foam model still looks like a sad shoe. ARTSTUDI 1 critique tomorrow. Send espresso.

Stat 110 lecture today was genuinely beautiful and I will not be taking questions. expectation is linear, the world makes sense, briefly.

First Boston snow and I stood in Pfoho courtyard like an eejit with my mouth open. We do not get this in Galway. Magic.

spent all of URBN 0210 lecture redrawing the RIPTA bus map on the back of my notebook. the prof saw. the prof asked for a copy.

18.100 lecture today: a proof so elegant I actually gasped in the Simmons sponge. My floormates are concerned. They do not understand beauty.

Saw you sprint across Old Campus in full tech blacks at 1am last night. Iconic. Also you left your headlamp in Davenport, it's hostage until you come to my crew breakfast.

yo section leader, your office hours saved my 106B life. when you're a famous startup guy remember the man who came to office hours TWELVE times

Krok rehearsal until eleven, then sketched the Sargents in the Fogg until a guard politely reminded me I also work here. Awkward.

first snow in New York and i, a porteña, stood in it on College Walk like an absolute tourist. no regrets. POLS W1201 problem set can wait.

saw you joined — the CS50 study group meets in Kirkland tonight if you're around!

found your livejournal from the FILM W2011 listserv and your take on Y Tu Mamá También made me want to drive to NYC immediately. trans-campus cinephile solidarity.

hi

Hi!

found the doorknob you complained about in your status. you were right. it pulls. I owe you a coffee and an apology to all doors.

Brown-Columbia film exchange is real because i heard you're the only person who's seen Killer of Sheep AND can read a redlining map. we need to talk cities-on-screen.

Yale econ vs Princeton SPIA, the eternal feud. Read your paper on labor markets, it was annoyingly good. We should put you on a debate panel and watch you crack under cross-examination.

heard you're doing a UROP shadow in LNS. when you're done counting quarks come by the FSAE shop, I'll teach you what a torque wrench is. Course 8 needs grease under the nails too.

anyone else completely lost in Ec10 lecture today? section better save me.

started the Stat 110 pset with 'this looks manageable' energy and it is now 1am and I am drawing trees. so many trees. it's a whole forest of conditional probability in here.

saw your name on the HCI lab roster!! we HAVE to get coffee at CoHo, I'm the barista who over-foams everything. fellow design-brain unite <3

Wait you're in MOL 214 too?? We are clearly meant to suffer through molecular bio across two campuses. Trade notes? I'll send you my cell respiration diagrams if you explain literally anything about COS to me.

Juggling Club met under the Great Dome and I dropped five clubs in front of everyone. Conservation of dignity is not a real law.
