Ok, so I'm at Harvard.
I'm not going to give you an overview of the whole experience right now, since you'll be picking things up as I post. I'll just say as background information that I really like it here, I've made some really good friends, and things are looking up.
Now, there are a few unexpected things here that I find interesting. First off, I haven't had any classes yet. I won't even start until Wednesday. Orientation is loooooong. And a little useless--we have a ton of time to kill, so I've been just hanging around with people a lot.
I can honestly say that the most annoying thing about Harvard is the tourism. It's ridiculous. My dorm is right next to the John Harvard statue, and there's a group of people out there with fanny packs and cameras literally every time I walk out my door to go eat. It's gorgeous out there, and it's my school; I mean, all of Harvard Yard is surrounded by freshman-only dorms, so this is my lawn right now and there are always people all over the place! I'll get used to it, and I know it's uncharitable but I just sort of want them to go away.
Other than that? Yeah, it's awesome.
