Day 1.5 Back in Cambridge

Slept in WAAAAAAAY late this morning! I woke up for a few minutes at a reasonable hour (9, 10?) looked out the window at the pouring rain and crawled back into bed for three hours. Yesterday, when I was napping, four men crammed into my room with 18 big boxes making all this noise. I stumbled out of my room all squinty-eyed with one eyebrow raised. To this, a man replied, "I can't believe MIT. You come into the room at one in the afternoon and you get treated like you're disturbing them in middle of the night. They love their sleep..." I went back into my room and shut the door. They delivered the boxes and left.

I am hoping, though, to get back on East Coast time as soon as possible. It's harder to adjust to a forward time change because it's so easy to stay up late and sleep in. When I go back to California, though, I want to stay up so I fight the jet lag that tells me to go to sleep at 8:30 p.m. and I adjust a lot quicker.

Tomorrow we're going on the Ferry over to Provincetown on the Cape, so that should be wonderful! I hope we take a few pictures!
