Welcome to My Party

Vindicated, validated, and verified - Leverett is the best house ever.

HoCo put on an awesome formal (over 500 people showed up, more than twice as many as the previous most-successful formal). The praise has been overflowing, and quite frankly, we deserve it. We put in so much sweat and tears (and yes, sometimes blood), to prove that we had enough resources, creativity, vision, and dedication to make an in-house formal even better than it would have been at Top of the Hub. Who can complain about absolute classiness and a $15 open bar? Was it perfect, of course not. But it was damn near close, and for as long as I keep my sanity, I will remember Casablanca.

Here's looking at you, Lev.

Super Procrastinated

I turned in a gov paper 4 days late. We'll see what the penalty is. I'm currently writing a paper due at 4 this afternoon, with only one source entirely read....5 years ago or so. French homework I've put off for two days, as well as missing three days of class in a row and totally screwing up the oral final, and not studying for the written final in 5 days. Plus, I have 3 3-hour finals in 2 days.

What can I focus on? Formal. After a kind of rocky start to the semester, a financial flop at the 80s, and months-old controversy surrounding formal, I am determined to make Casablanca the best formal Leverett has ever seen. Now if only crises would stop popping up every few hours. Oh well, character through adversity, I guess.

Bright spot - My family's coming to Harvard for the first time in less than a month!
