Sunday in December
12/6/2004
Sundays are strange at boarding schools. After six days packed with classes, sports and activities, you are free to sleep all day, or lounge around the dorm commons room watching TV, or go for a bike ride, or do homework in the middle of the afternoon. There's no such thing as wasted time; each person does whatever s/he needs to do retool for another six days of frantic work and play. On the town green, Alex demonstrates the advantage of riding your bicycle upside-down: if you like where you are, you're not hassled by moving around to different places:

For many, having "nothing to do" (whatever that means) is welcome. In Summerfield House, Luke and Forrest find time to rehearse some of their acoustic grundge (their term, not mine).

Brunch ends at 11 AM, which is too early for many. So it's off to Pizza Chef, or just across the street to Jake's Market, where Alex and Alex score a couple of cases of "Holiday Spice" soda.

Sam provisions the third floor of Theroux House with Dr. Pepper and some microwaveable Pizza Rolls.

On the second floor of MLS, Ethan has time to vacuum his room.
You might think that Harry's looking at the camera, but you'd be wrong....
No, Harry's stealing a few moments from his studies in Gannett House to play Halo2, a video game at which he excels.
Irene missed brunch, and is treating herself to a cup of Raman noodles in King House commons.
Alex and Alex don't need a lot of time to identify their soda of choice. It's going to be Holiday Spice.
Sam's practicing wheelies in front of the Stone Chapel.
Josh Norris takes his skis for a ride.
Dan plays catch with Ben.
Of course, the library's open.
Did you ever think you'd see Eric wearing a Polo shirt?!
