I was paying for my groceries at the checkout counter of a local Whole Foods Market when I heard the following:

A young checkout operator singing: "People are people, so why should it be..."
The cashier in her late 40's said: "No, no, it's more like 'People, people who need people...' Hmmm... Who sings that song."
Me (to the cashier): "Well, the song that you had just sang is by Barbara Streisand."
Me (to the checkout operator): "Ah, the song 'People are People' is by Depeche Mode."
Checkout operator: "That's right. I think there's a generation gap between Sylvia and me."
Me (shrugging): "Well... I bridged the two disparate generations."

Anyway, this is probably the my only highlight of the day. I really don't have any exciting anecdote to share since school ended last week. Also, I have been really tired the past couple of days - as if the whole year of cumulated fatigue from my busy schedule has finally taken its toll on me. That's why I am staying put in Boston this holiday season to catch up on sleep.
