Catching crabs

1 In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. The relaxed atmosphere of

the preceding summer semester, the impromptu ball games, the boating on the

Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our

heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all

sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a

chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important

of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one

wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to

work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the

most ambitious student among us was going to work as a party activist at a local

level. We all saw him ending up in the Senate or in Congress one day. But most

people were either looking to continue their studies, or to make a living with a

white-collar job in a bank, local government, or anything which would pay them

enough to have a comfortable time in their early twenties, and then settle down

with a family, a mortgage and some hope of promotion.

3 I went home at Thanksgiving, and inevitably, my brothers and sisters kept

asking me what I was planning to do. I didn't know what to say. Actually, I did know

what to say, but I thought they'd probably criticize me, so I told them what 抓螃蟹
