33 TF APPROVAL

"Yes, that's a really interesting point." "Good question." "Wow! Does anyone else have anything to add?" "You won't be getting your papers back until next week."

34 NO CREDIT

Time to get used to the Harvard attitude: Nothing but the H-stamp is good enough. Few foreign classes or AP classes count for anything, and internship credit requires an independent study, an advisor and a blood sample.

36 CALENDAR INERTIA

We spend time pushing for Core reform, to have fall finals moved to December and to have the housing process reevaluated.

39 9 A.M. RESERVE DUE-TIME

At least they give you a 15 minute grace period.
