Fall A Finished

So it's been quite a week. I had two in-class finals and a take-home final, all which wrapped up on Tuesday. After the stats final, we were directed to go into this one area of the campus and it turned out there were a bunch of second-years waiting with champagne to toast us for completing the first term at Tuck, which is a tradition that's been going on for some time. It was quite intimidating, walking into a room full of well dressed people cheering loudly while you ran down a gauntlet while being toasted.

After that was all done, a big group of us went out to Longtrail Brewery in Vermont for a very enjoyable afternoon. They have about seven different beers that they make there and an outdoor porch on a river. The Porter, Double Bag Strong Ale, and IPA were all tasty.

Yesterday was Kerry and my third anniversary and we hit up Simon Pearce which was fantastic. For those who don't know, Simon Pearce is a really cool glass and pottery manufacturer, which also holds a nice restaurant. We got to see them making some candleworks in-house before our dinner and I'm very excited to go back at some point.

Finally, today I got out on my bike and went on a great ride for about an hour and a half. I went up a road in NH and down a road in VT which followed the Connecticut River. Great few days and very glad to have a few days off.
