b-group:
I, too, apologize for my lack of blog-age thus far. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no excuse for this since I, like Brian (and I hope others of you), have been doing nothing except watching inordinate amounts of T.V., surfing the netz, and occasionally hanging out with my 2 friends.
The truth is, it's only in the last couple of days that I've begun to realize that we won't be going back to school next year. It all started with the receipt of the Harvard yearbook via snail mail, and now I haven't been able to stop thinking about how much I miss you all so incredibly much. That feeling has unfortunately only been heightened by the fact that my life is pretty lame at home. Allow me to explain.
I've spent a lot of my time trying to plan for my trip next year which is proving harder and more frustrating than I thought since it entails talking to embassies to try to get visas, emailing random people that I don't know, and trying to find housing in a city that I've never been to. It is exciting at times (and also really terrifying) but I hope it all works out and that I don't end up deported or homeless which, might I add, are both distinct possibilities. When I'm not doing that I'm usually watching T.V. and the most exciting part of my day is going to free yoga classes.
Thankfully, my birthday (and my brother's and father's) served to break up the monotony, although turning 22 is not quite as exciting as, say, turning 21. I think I might soon be approaching the age where you don't look forward to birthdays anymore because they just mean you're getting old. Anywho, for my brother's birthday we went to the cubs-red sox game (the red sox won, duh.) and then went out in wrigleyville at which point I proceeded to be the most awk single person you've ever met (surprising, I know).
Speaking of which, perhaps the only mildly interesting story I have to tell is of when I went to the HAA Global Networking Night in Chicago. I was forced into going by my friend that's working on the Obama campaign and it was AWFUL. Almost everyone there was AT LEAST 7 years older than me and were genuinely there to network. I was there to drink (obviously) so I quickly found people my age and took shots of whiskey which made the event significantly more enjoyable. I also met a persian psychologist (????) who was 30 and called me the next day after we talked all night. Of course I awkwardly ignored his call because I don't know how to deal with these things and because I'm awk by nature. So basc, the little "networking night" only served to further solidify 1) the fact that there are a lot of strange people that go/went to harvard and 2) my love for all of you.
So that's pretty much all I have say. If you've made it this far, I'm sorry my life is not more interesting. Really, the only reason I wrote was because I miss you and love you all and I wish you were here to revel in my awkwardness and lameness. ALSO, I'll be in California from July 28th-August 18th and I don't know my schedule yet but I would LOVE to have a mini-reunion and see all of the peepz in or near Cali. This is all.
love,
dr.

Dre, the guys have been trying to explain to you your attractiveness for years. If you are going to be single, lots of guys are going to hit on you. I promise to hope for your sake and awkness levels that it is fewer 30-year-olds but you might as well get used to it. We shall reunite when you arrive in CA. I'll make sure to bring all my Persian friends.
