I'm off
Tomorrow I leave for Germany. I get off the plane, meet my parents at the oldest brewery in the world for lunch, and promptly get on an overnight train to Paris. Fun stuff happens for two weeks (by which I mean Normandy and a cousin's wedding), then I return to finish work here. For the past week I have been living alone in my house and for a week when I come back I will be again. I am hardly thrilled, although it does make me miss TASP and college and my family. Europe will be fun, but when that is over, my excitement about September will be unalloyed.
For my sanity, if for nothing else, when I get back keep me posted about your lives. I know it is self-centered; even though I don't have much of a life at the moment, you all probably still do. Whatever, all the more reason to share, right? For my part, I promise that a long-winded account of my travels will, with its presence, grace this blog in just over two weeks.

interesting usage of "unalloyed". Have a great trip!
inspired by none other than william schwenck gilbert, in the yeomen of the guard: "with happiness their souls are cloyed, this is their joy day unalloyed." the day purified quite fast, as two minutes before it was "day of terror, day of tears." of course in another two minutes the jester was dead. his joy was alloyed, apparently.
and that my friends was a summary of my second semester of freshman year at harvard.
yeomen of the guard was the first G&S production I ever saw. All I remember, though, was the price of "an hundred pounds"
