Carrying on: Radiohead through the rolling fog

After finishing my last paper of freshman year, I decided to go for a walk at night to celebrate my new freedom. It was a simple walk through Georgetown, a route I often took to go see movies on K Street, but that night the pedestrian became glorious, the uncomfortable became terrifying and the everyday neighborhood looked like something out of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I was listening to Radiohead in the fog.

ONLINE ONLY: EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—Trailing Vanderbilt by one point with 14 seconds left, Georgetown came out of their final timeout. There was no confusion in sold-out Continental Airlines Arena about who would have the final touch for the Hoyas. The crowd held its collective breath as junior forward Jeff Green received the pass from junior guard Jonathan Wallace. The Commodores were as ready as anyone and quickly doubled Green with his back to the basket at the right-hand elbow.

With Easter fast approaching, Georgetown students are once again making travel plans, which for many include a costly Super Shuttle or cab ride to Dulles Airport. Future Hoyas may not have to face the same struggle when the Metro’s long-awaited Silver Line to Dulles is completed, but construction of the line has been delayed by a conflict between government officials and community members.

What is it good for? Nothing.

It was a bitterly cold Saint Patrick’s Day, and my mother and I had already lost feeling in our hands.
