...that other environment through windows. Currier forces diners to confront the otherness of the external world by centering the dining environment around a fabricated version of the natural world, a bizarre oasis (several artificial-looking plants and a fountain). It is an amateur echo of the Four Seasons' Autumn Room (where tables are centered around a "grove" of cherry blossoms and a reflecting pool), and the tangential similarity to Japanese gardens recalls the austere asceticism of the Seasons as well as Quincy's slightly more Orientalized vision. The effort can be soothing when the fountain is gurgling, but it mostly...

Rather, the temperature chills...
...transition to my new life is almost complete. This year, instead of rushing off to every comp and introductory meeting for every interesting club on campus, I'm taking a low-key tack. And I've been making time to take walksolong walks along the river, in the fresh autumn breeze, with nothing but my thoughts and the scenery. Sometimes, I can even hear nature singing Simon and Garfunkel: "Slow down, you're moving too fast you've got to make the morning last...
