A wedding on the green...
On the bridge to Vermont...
I awaken at 9:15 to the sound of oldies drifting from my alarm clock, and then proceed to alternately listen to the good music and snooze over the commercials until approximately 10:20. At which point I finally get up. (The bad news is that my "roommate" can hear my alarm through the wall...the good news is she always gets up earlier than I do, so it's not a problem.)

I hang out in my room eating Cheerios, planning my weekend, and checking my email for a little while, and then at noon I meet with some people to have lunch at the Hop (a turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce pita, which was good...I can't wait for Thanksgiving...). After that we walk to Vermont because it's a lovely fall day and Vermont is only about four minutes away. We go to a town called Norwich (about a half hour walk), which is a cute little New Englandy town (I think Julie and Brian stayed there) and visit the general store to stock up on supplies that don't cost a million dollars before eating apple cake at a picnic table in the park. Then on our way back we stop at Dartmouth's pottery studio and make pots.
On our way back to our dorms passing the Green, we see a wedding taking place (aww...). In my room I spend 40 minutes doing homework (=ten whole pages of my film textbook read) before we head out to dinner. Then back to the room for more homework (a total of 40 pages read -- almost halfway done with film!) before going to see Cellofourte, a group of cellists who play original rock music...strange-sounding, but really good.
After that I hang around in my room putting off the actual act of going to bed for an impressive length of time...and finally I sleep. : )

Rin,
The pictures of the wedding on the green, the foliage and you and your friends on the bridge to Vermont really capture the moment. You could also, if the mood seized you, write a few high handed, blistering op-ed pieces about how Bush and his administration have the Midas touch in reverse and if left in power another 4 years would probably bring civilization to an abrupt halt by somehow snatching an iceage from the jaws of global warming (you laugh.... but haaahh! something inside you is glad he won't have the chance).
Don't get me wrong, we're still happy, but since the beautiful girl with the joyful smile went away to college my step is just a litte slower and there's less light to ease my way.
Love,
Dad
