...that point, Harvard had the ball with 4:51 on the clock and a four-point lead. A three-and-out was the last thing the Crimson needed and exactly the thing the Crimson...
...must admit, however, that there are certain amenities provided by my bathroom at home that are simply not available in a Winthrop House bathroom. For one thing, it's nice not to have to deal with a sink that hits the basin at such an angle that the water splashes back onto your clothing, making it look, every morning, like you just got a little too excited about your upcoming economics lecture.
