A fatal flaw
"Cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education" ~ Mark Twain
I have found the flaw in residential colleges. If you put a bunch of very intelligent, interesting people in a small area they will get exactly zero work done. Yes, I spent the last hour and a half debating the ethics of marriage and adoption with my floor mates. Yes, then we calculated the energy used by an elevator going up two floors...in kilo calories. Yes, I have more homework to do.
I remain, very busy,
Georgie
Post Script: and clearly this letter was a good use of time. G.S.
