Crew is fucking amazing. we ran from the boathouse, to teh Harvard stadium today, and i dont know if anyone has seen this place, but its 37 flights of stairs. that alone is a feat. all concrete, it reminds me of the collesium. the rows start at I and go through Z to pp. Bigelow tell me how many stairs I did today. Then we ran back. Then we jumped in old pococks, appareantly NEU is changing over to all pococks. Cool. Like nice versions of the Pheonix. So we row, and my boat is bow four frosh, and stern four Varsity. so we do some drills, and practice what pojednic and linberg were talking about. hanging and connecting at the catch. We have 3 8s out on the charles river. As we are going down, or up, away from the boathouse, i see NEO rowing the other way. You guys remember NEO? the short haired lady who rowes at pocock???? yeah saw her. that was interesting. so on the way back, we are going along, my boat in third, and coach calls it up to a 20. so we start going at a 20, and then he starts calling power, and we end up racing the other two boats to the dock. It was so amazing, to hear the boats wicked close together, and see the other boats on either side of you, and hear the guys grunt, and strain, and pull, and the coxes tell you seats, and call out names. I fucking love this place. Now i know why Mike smith almost transfered here when he raced here once. This place is oneof the most awesomest places in the world. i fully intend on kicking ass here. frosh crew is gonna make a name for our new coach. linberg.

and on another note, people amaze me. it was good to hear what is being said about me boofy. it was educational. apparently not everyone likes me back home.
