After slipping down the icy steps of Widener and almost breaking her coxis, FM's Harvard Under Glass team got a bit cranky about New England weather, that off-again, on-again tease. HUG was tempted to transfer somewhere permanently warm and sunny and Spanish-speaking but was convinced not to do so by the dining hall checker. Sensing in this woman profound wisdom and deep understanding, HUG passed on the Thai dinner, pulled a chair up to the checker's desk and listened intently as this venerable oracle spilled truth after truth...
Quite simply, HUG discovered in the checking-lady a reason not to transfer...
...HUG: I hate this weather. I can't stand it any longer. I want to transfer somewhere warm and sunny and Spanish-speaking...
...HUG: You mean my discontent is provoked by self-doubt and internal crisis, and not by the snow? CW: Yup, hon. Only you can heal yourself. Try some sticky rice, and don't even think about the eggplant...
...Maybe I'll give her a hug...
