Snowstorms and Checkers

Classes are finally winding down; my last lecture is on Wednesday which means I get to gear up for next week’s gauntlet of finals. This weekend Boston experienced a fantastic blizzard, complete with thunder and lightning through an intense whiteout. In the words of Louis Black, “they don’t even write about that sort of thing in the Bible!”

On Friday snowmen were constructed and then later destructed by the impending storm. Saturday morning welcomed sheets of ice and slush to the streets of Cambridge. Saturday afternoon kids were supposed to come to Theta Chi to build gingerbread houses but were kept away by the storm. Instead, college kids ate candy and made replicas of Stonehenge out of Graham Crackers.

On Saturday night I saw The Nutcracker at the Boston Opera House with the staff and crew of The Tech. Amazing. The architecture students walked with jaws dropped into the massive performance hall and I was reprimanded by security for taking pictures of the ceiling.

Following the show a catered party was thrown in the student center, ensuring that I’d sleep soundly until the following morning.

Coming down the home stretch of first term freshman year.
