I have great friends.
I was at the airport a lot this week. First to drop off my family on Monday (sad). We had a great week. Thanks fam.
Second, to go back to Davidson to visit my friends.
A full car showed up at the airport to fetch me. These fools bought me most of a plane ticket to be able to come back for the week, and I am really unable to express how that made me feel. I'm so lucky to be surrounded and supported by such quality humans. Thanks guys.
Davidson is so green.
By the grace of the universe, this week was both my spring break at UNIGE, and frolics week at Davidson. Thanks universe.
If you aren't familiar with frolics, it's the end of the semester celebration at Davidson. It's been going on almost as long as the school itself, and is easily the best time to be on campus. Thanks Davidson.
So I immediately went to class.
I missed a lecture to be able to get here, so I thought it would smart to make it up. I wish that Dr. Belloni was teaching my electrodynamics class in Switzerland, or any other Davidson professor for that matter. I miss the quality and the care that is put into each class, example, and student. It's something that we sometimes take for granted, but should not. Thanks professors.
I learned a lot of things about Jewish culture at the Passover Seder. Thanks Julia.
I'm not Jewish, but it's fun to experience things like that.
A lot of people think me and Eli look like the same person. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks about this.
We held the frolics club tennis (kvt) practice. Bess sent her last email as email sender (President?), and it was a good one.
We played bobsled, and it hailed.
Another classic frolics athletic event is the chair game.
We played music on the gazebo, and elsewhere.
I have the best friends, and you could not convince me otherwise.
As is tradition, we lit fireworks as a sort of closing ceremony. It's important to go out with a bang.
After two weeks of fun, I feel revitalized and loved, but's time to start being productive again. Wish me luck.
Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together -- my future, my past, the whole of my life -- and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and scream oh! oh! oh!
