Last weekend I went to homecoming at Cornell. I got to march in the marching band, and I even managed to convince Tracy to march with me. She finally admitted that marching band was in fact fun -- something she was loathe to say during our four years at Cornell.
We actually won the homecoming football game, which I don't recall winning in the past. Not only did we win, but we clobbered Georgetown 57-7. It was complete humiliation.
Food was another highlight of the weekend. Despite being dragged to the fish and vegetarian Moosewood restaurant, I had a good meal. On Saturday, however, we went to the Boatyard Grill, one of my favorite restaurants. Their dishes are much tastier than 90% of the supposedly fancy food I've eaten in New York City, and much more affordable to boot.
The only downside to the weekend was the weather, which was very Ithaca-like. On Saturday we experienced brief spurts of rain. At one point, it was even pouring hard while the sky directly above us was deep blue and the sun was shining. Physically impossible, except in Ithaca.

The only thing is - whenever I tried to actually 'play' the trumpet, Abhishek made me stop. Apparantly off key random notes ruin the whole performance. Who knew?

"Apparantly off key random notes ruin the whole performance."
Well I'm sure you could have learned how to play some basic stuff in a few short weeks. You're a natural genius.
