It's Harvard... but not

This week has been a strange experience for me. 

I've never felt such a sense of loneliness. No I'm not in some strange country where I hardly know the language or the customs. Rather, I am where I have been for the whole year, but without the people. It felt like the first day of fall clean up crew all over again. But then Y came to visit and the loneliness dispersed.

But that definitely got me thinking about life after college - after this bubble of social interaction. Aka it's going to suck. Life after college was a big topic this week because of all the graduating seniors. 
For my dorm crew job this week I watched class day (the "lighter" side of graduation), commencement (the elitist harvard term for graduation), and the guest speaker (Steven Chu... you know, the Steven Chu. Yeah, 09 got shafted). I also kept my hands busy with what many students should be familiar with (mounting clay/poster gum anyone?):


Sometimes I wish I had pretty fingernails

Roses are always fun to receive

Kitty-tornado!!

After commencement's morning exercises I had to pick up trash that parents left behind. 


Everyone drinks coffee. I picked up trash for 10 minutes and found at least 2x that amount of coffee cups

This picture's for L. Because... not only is she addicted to alcohol but she's also addicted to caffiene. 
This is to show you that you're not alone. You're just like 89% of Harvard  friends and family!

I lost my train of thought - may continue at a later time.
