Fall Break (secretly its just Canadian Thanksgiving)

Mama was laughing at me because I started hording unpublishables and putting them into a suitcase. Lentils, oatmeal, brown rice, honey, nuts... The suitcase was 50 lbs. Its pathetic.
But so good.

It was Val's birthday so I stayed at her house from Sat-Sun. A lot of people came down. Katya from Brown, Eloosha from Yale and Kostya all the way from McGill...and then Yulka and Leonid are in the area anyway, and the rest not in college yet. played charades and set and taboo and talked and cuddled :)


Yosef took over my room. So I kicked him out, but I guess
for the two weeks of winter break. I get to live with Sima or in the basement. He also got a guitar as a late birthday present. So now he has three instruments (piano, sax and guitar). That's another thing I brought with me: some notes. And a couple books. And warm clothing. And regular clothing. So much stuff. And I rested.

We walked around North End on Monday and on Tuesday I watched Sima do gymnastics before going to Jack's house to get driven back to Bard.
