Good call, Eunice. Here's the update from New Haven:

- Jacob is in both my real classes; one of them is a lecture class (Philosophy of Architecture, with Karsten Harries) that meets at the same time as Vincent Sculley's lecture, which Alex is taking. So: after lecture on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:20, we have lunch together. If you happen to have a craving for Yale dining hall cuisine, feel free to join us.
- Actually, for those of you who don't know already, Jacob and Alex happen to live together, so when we're not having lunch together, Jacob and Alex are partying it up without me.
- Alex pulled an all-nighter last night writing a paper on Weimar Germany.
- I'm about to stay up fairly late doing Greek translation *and* a Greek essay. Greek is the bane of my existence.
- But my Greek teacher is absolutely gorgeous. When I told Jacob this, his response was, "I hate beautiful women I don't like."
- "Actually, you know what I hate even more?" quoth Jacob. "Beautiful women who write poetry about how ugly they are."
- that was a labor quote. Two.

Since the summer, there's been much talk of the New Yorker article on Deep Springs. I finally got around to reading it (I had to ask permission from Jacob first) and I found it interesting, on different levels. What I found even more interesting is that we haven't talked about it yet on the blog, and I'm sure half of you at the very least read the New Yorker on a regular basis. Thoughts?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!

I had a conversation with my roommate yesterday about keeping in touch. Other than arriving at the conclusion that I am bad at it, my roommate and I discovered an interesting difference in the way we decide what should and shouldn't be shared. I, for instance, never write unless if I have something to say--and if all my time was devoted to something so dry as say, MCAT studying, I would rather not write at all. My roommate, however, maintained that it was precisely this--the telling of boring or unimportant events--that sustains close relationships. So, here is my attempt at writing for the sake of keeping in touch. I don't have anything ground-shattering to report, nor do I have a recommendation of a movie (actually, I do, but for the sake of the message, I will not mention it). My act comes from the realization that the delight in reading something from a friend comes not from the content of the message, but simply its presence.

Love,
Eunice

So what does it mean to "know" someone, and what can your really know? What is to keep doubt and the rolling blackout of oblivion from consuming your existance and leaving your mind to wander like a ghost?

ha.

alright, I just had to put something up.
What did all of you do with your summers?

luv
