During a more typical semester, Avril Saavedra â21 can usually be found in the âmost random places on campusâ: playing trumpet with the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra in Sanders Theater, running the Quad Grille in Pfoho, producing at WHRB headquarters in Pennypacker, or studying in a dining hall, which she prefers for the buzz and opportunity to encounter friends. (Though she lives in Cabot, Saavedraâs favorite house is Kirkland, âbecause they make the best grilled cheese â with egg.â)
This fall has been similarly nomadic, but with a different set of spaces: moving once or twice a week between the homes of various family members in Uruguay, where she was born and has spent the semester. Saavedra zoomed me from her auntâs house in the capital, Montevideo, which has served as her âhome base.â Her auntâs large black cat, Casper, climbed on top of Saavedraâs arm as we began speaking.
