Can't believe lectures are over....

Pros:
- I love russet apples! They look like pears, they taste like pears, and yet they are still crisp and delicious with a taste that just resonates YUM! I will miss russet apples when I come back to the states.
- The market, open 7 days a week, is a wonderful place. I like to buy fresh fruits and veges there; breads/cheeses of all kinds, arts, crafts, nick nacks, and best of all-- the Bike Man can fix just about any cycle problem you might have.
- The history and tradition here runs so deep, it's humbling just to stand in the middle of Trinity courtyard (not on the grass!) or walk along the corridors knowing this is the very place Isaac Newton tested the speed of sound hundreds of years ago.
- I like how the college is so much more than a place to sleep. I tried imagining East Campus with ornate gardens, a fountain, and a library, but that image didn't last long.
- Although I am just as busy as I have been at MIT, I am less mentally stressed because there are no regular exams. However, I still learn a lot, especially during practicals (labs) where often I can discuss concepts with TAs while waiting for reactions to incubate, etc.
