On the one hand, it is a sad time of goodbyes. On the other hand, most of us feel very happy and proud when we think of the new T friendships we have made and all of the special lessons we have learned over the last three months. The end of the Fall 2001 semester feels especially poignant. During this short time at CELOP, we have witnessed incredibly disturbing events inside the United States and around the world. At the same time, the work we have done together at CELOP has been a bright spot in a world that often seems cruel and con- fusing. Each of us in our own way has played a small but important role in helping to shape the future, what we all believe must be a better future. How? By living, learning and growing across cultures. CELOP stu- dents are special in this way. By your willingness to visit a new country, study a new language and make new friends from across the globe, you contribute directly to greater understanding in the world. Through understanding, peace may grow and thrive. The images captured in this Semester Book reflect a special time and a special place. Each of us has made it so. No matter where you go or what you do now, we hope that you will continue to learn about the world around you and share yourself with others who wish to learn. May you remember CELOP fondly and return to visit with us frequently. Peace. And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me. “Ship of Fools,” by Robert Plante Laura E.

[v.5.0] 2 Fall 2001 SBE Credits An introduction to the Semester Book by the Fall 2001 Semester Book Elective Class with Chris Antonellis and Barbara Bliss Chris Antonellis e are the Semester Book Barbara Bliss elective class. The Semester Book elective is an unusual class, not like the other ones. It’s as if we’re working on a newspaper, so we had research to do. Sometimes we had lots of work and pressure and we had to sacrifice a lot of time. At other times we Marine Clavreux relaxed and took it easy. Keiko Koyama France Japan The class is not as formal as other classes; we learn indirectly. It’s a fun class where we do writing, reading, and speaking. The distance between teachers and students is small in this class, because we’re all working together. We also work closely with dif- ferent people from different cultures. It’s a good course for quiet students to help them blossom, because they have a real role in this class. If you don’t want to get bored, you can choose this elective. This semester, we especially had fun going to Harvard Square Hee-Jeong Lee to take pictures and interview unique people. We could have free Jin Soon Lee Korea tickets to see shows—which we had to review, of course. We also Korea improved our computer skills. Maybe we are going to miss Chris’s urging us to work faster, Barbara’s Halloween earrings, and our classmates’ enthusiasm. It was so nice to work on the Semester Book because it’s some- thing which is going to be in our hands at the end of the semester. We’re going to be famous, and we’ re going to remember our time in Boston. It sometimes seemed difficult to make a sentence, but Esser Daniel Melul the moment we saw the product when it was laid out and ready to Takahiro Oguri Venezuela be published, it felt good. Japan We hope you will appreciate the work we’ve done for you. This book is for you, not to forget this incredible, exciting semester. Barbara and Chris would like to express special thanks to Keiko and Taka, for whom this elective was com- pletely optional. Their creative ideas, hard work and dedication contributed greatly to the success of this book.
