I did miss you. Your red-bricked, fake colonial-style dorms, your terrible housing but endearing House spirit. Your American students, always energetic, intense, motivated during the week time, loud and drunk during the weekend. And never asleep.

Your food, always terrible, but always abundant and endless. Your free and speedy wireless, highly welcome after a year-long expensive cable ridiculousness of Todai.

Only after a year- long absence does one have a chance to re-appreciate you with the excitement of a freshman, but without the cluelessness part.
The highlight of the course-load for the senior fall was definitely CS50 by our very best David J. Malan the shining young celebrity of the Harvard Faculty, famous along with Sandel, Mankiw & Co. His lectures in the Sanders Theatre, always spiked with humor and youtube clips and techno music, inserted in between the flying programming code, rang like a show time. The CS50 Fair that crowned the course was nothing short of an incredible festival with cupcakes, balloons, balloons, high-tech screens and Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft or Apple recruiters lurking around, ready to land you an internship interview. Oh and forget not the raffle of Wii, Xboxes and other devices of merriment.

The other highlights of the Senior Fall include the sold-out Leveret Winter Formal at the Top of the Hub (thanks to the depression, Boston fanciness suddenly became affordable!), grunge dorm or dining hall party hopping that sometimes ended in one or another of the final clubs and finally a wonderful creative time with Snowflakes Stories (first time I actually both wrote and illustrated my book).
All of these experienced in the companion of the undefeated Dunsteries shaking booty.

Oh and forget not the a-cappela concerts by the H Krokodiloes and H Gin&Tonic. Those well-dressed gentlemen with beautiful voices and utter sarcasm stole my heart away.
