This place will be with you for the rest of your life, but will you remember the odd wound up feeling the first day you walked into the wonderful hustle of Somerville? or walking for ages from the lVlusic College to the main campus for one cruddy class? or drinking coffee for hours on end while rapping with comrades or friends in lVliddIesex or Talbot or the Common Room or wherever it was that you drank it? do you remember struggling up the hill to U.C., enveloped in fog andfor snow? will you remember watching the river rise and wondering fatalistically when it is going to sweep away Delaware or your car in the lVledway parking lot?
