things learnt the hard way this weekend:

1. the poland spring they sell in buttery 29 is not only the sparkling variety, but is also flavoured with lime. it's too late to say "what have i done?" by the time you have made tea with it.

2. harvard ids, unlike virginia ids, do not carry your date of birth. (why not?)

3. there are many ways to ladder your hose and dangling your legs from the top of widener steps is one of them.

4. although the hi-rise bread company is one of the three quintessential english department hangouts (burdick's and toscanini's being the other two) it has completely lost its charm. well maybe not the one in brattle square, but i shall only go to darwin's from now on.
