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?
