...emerged from the building sometime before dawn. Stray phrases and odd headlines were jumbled in my head. I didn’t know how I’d make my classes that day. On Cambridge’s dark, quiet streets that morning I worried, what have I gotten myself into? But there wasn’t a thing to be done about it (besides, in Terry-Thomas’s words, press on).
