[The TD freshman dinner, when it all began]

For God, for Country, and for Yale. And for TD.

Today President Levin announced the new TD Master, Jeff Brenzel. TD hasn't had a new Master in something like 32 years. The dining hall was filled with all the familiar faces. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community. I feel more at home in this place than I do anywhere in the world. In China this summer, I couldn't wait to get back to TD. I'm not sure how or when it happened but TD has become home. A simple word but one that's hard to really understand.

An example of Master T's general coolness: Last Wednesday was the senior dinner. Cristina and I were studying for our last Human Emotion exam when we heard and saw a full Brazilian band preforming in the TD courtyard. Complete with girls in beaded g-strings and head dresses shaking their salt shakers. Everyone was drinking, singing, dancing. It wasn't surprising at all.
