...Today, you may run into me going to class or polishing papers or problem sets, but make no mistake: I’ll be having my holiday. It’s the beginning of March, the beginning of spring, and the beginning of Cambridge’s slow transition from the land of permanent darkness to a place where the sun sets after 4 p.m. On account of this, I find it the perfect day to slack off from my workaholic load and enjoy the loafing. Anyone’s welcome to join me. No fishing rods are required...
