Rain! Snow! Clear skies! Friends, family, strangers and acquaintances! This trip had it all. Notably I have now cemented my affinity for fuzzy .3 megapixel camera phone photos. I even shelled out for a USB cable so I don’t have to send each photo individually to Flickr through MMS.
Other stuff:
- I satiated my Providence/College Hill nostalgia. I still love the city and campus, but obviously nothing feels the same when all the people you lived with are gone.
- After missing the Michigan Theater sneak preview of Where the Wild Things Are for my 5 hour affinity diagramming meeting a few weeks ago, I saw it in Cambridge with Andrew. I’m glad I finally got to see it, but I found it mildly disturbing and in retrospect I am glad I didn’t end up seeing it by myself.
- I failed miserably to develop any kind of sense of direction at all. All the awesome navigating skills I thought I had developed last year were obviously a direct product of the Chicago grid system and very visible and non-ambiguous landmarks.
- I only slept about 5 hours each night but it was totally worth it.
- Somehow I actually managed to get some homework done.
