I know I haven't blogged for a while...things are just a bit boring around here. I'm generally not inclined to blogging about my assignments and readings in my financial markets class, and nothing has really happened.
Cambridge is small. Actually, Cambridge is really small. Once you do everything in Cambridge (which may take only a day or two) you just kind of get used to not doing so much. My days normally consist of going to class, eating and then working on the computer (or video-chatting back home).

I will say that I have began to toy with the idea of taking the train home from Yale for Christmas break with a friend that is also from my area. It's a long trip (18 hours from New York Penn Station to Atlanta Peachtree Station) but I think there's a certain nostalgia regarding long-distance train travel, and I have to try it at some point.
The reviews are actually amazing for the trip. There's a daily train that runs from New York City to New Orleans (I'd obviously be getting off in New Orleans) and it's called the Crescent line on Amtrak. I think it'd be kinda fun...all meals included along with unlimited beverages and snacks. Bring a book and some cards and then just hop up in my own bed when I get tired. I'd only do the trip if I got a roomette, which is a small room with two beds and a toilet and sink. It's not too bad if you book with another person, so I may see if I can convince my friend to make the trip with me. How fun - traverse the eastern seaboard along the spine of Appalachia to get home for Christmas by train travel.

And unfortunately, things have been so droll around here that I haven't even taken any new pictures. Sorry. :-)
