Elena and I woke up early, and we headed back to Cambridge for brunch. We ended up at Grafton Street across from Cambridge. It was a very cool place with a very chill vibe. They had a diverse menu and the portions were HUGE.

From there, we headed back toward Kendall Square and we wandered around the MIT campus. The stark difference between the traditional buildings and the more modern ones was fascinating. I cannot imagine getting much work done though, the view of the river was incredible. I could just sit there and watch the world go by all day long. Focusing on school would be impossible.

I got to the airport at 2:30, and I tried to go standby on the 2:50 flight. The standby list was 38 people deep. My flight was oversold, and I volunteered to give up my seat for a $300 voucher and an aisle seat on a flight an hour later. BIG mistake. We loaded, pushed back from the gate on time, and then they announced we would be sitting on the tarmac. We sat for 3.5 hours, and I am currently on route. There are over two hours left on this flight, so instead of getting home at 8:45, I am now getting home at 11:30. Sucks.
