So the second year gov grad students threw a party for the first years. It was cool-got to meet a few 2nd years, talk with some fellow first years who I may or may not have interacted with much in the last few weeks, and generally have a good time.

Earlier that day, the roommates of one of the first years had a breakfast pancake party, which was very good from both a "wow, these are a lot of pancakes and they are really good" sense and a "hey, I like hanging with you guys" sense. So yesterday was a good day.
