Right now it’s 9:18 AM. I haven’t slept, as usual before I take flights.  My plane is at 1230; boarding is around noon.  I will leave Boston for winter break for (perhaps) the 3rd and penultimate time.  

The end of semesters always make me feel a little sad.  My usual poison: 1 part academic failure, 1 part passage of time, occasionally a dash of heartbreak.

However, this time around, maybe I won’t be so sad.  I’m definitely feeling like the corners of my mind are being stretched thin by some nerve-wreaking monstrosity, but perhaps this monster is friendly.

I guess to put this semester in review, here is a list of things I remember:

1. extended birthday weekend
