New Friends

I was in Pearsons yesterday for the first time since the beginning of the semester because I had a meeting with my academic advisor about registration for next semester. (Side note: how is it time for that already?!) As I was leaving the building, I noticed this little guy just chilling in the doorway of an office. So, of course, I had to stop and say hello. I learned th...

Trolling Dean Feldblum

Last night was Mudd 1 Back's sponsor group dinner at Dean Feldblum's house. Now, one of my spibs follows the Dean on Twitter, and informed us that she often tweets photos of the sponsor groups she has over. Of course, I immediately thought that it would be a brilliant idea to all wear matching clothes. And I love my sponsor group so much because they didn't think twice about it...

Homestretch

You know you're ready for Thanksgiving break when you're lying in my bed after a long day of classes, (followed by ultimate frisbee practice, an extra long dance rehearsal because our big performance is next week, and a trip up to the Scripps library to do some studying) trying and failing to will yourself to get up and take a shower. And as my mom (very excitedly) reminded me ...

Elections

In case you somehow forgot in the midst of all the ads, videos, articles, status updates, and tweets, today is Election Day. And although Jenessa already beat me to it, I thought I would talk about it for a bit. As I was walking through the SCC, I passed students entering the polling place at Edmunds Ballroom. I, unfortunately, had to keep walking, because I somehow managed ...

(More) Fall Break

As you have seen from the last few posts, it's fall break! And while I very much appreciate the extra few days off to recoup and just breathe (until I realise that we're already halfway through our first semester at Pomona...), the break has thrown off my sense of time a bit. It feels much more like a Sunday than a Tuesday, and it's a bit hard convincing my brain that I need to...

T-Swizz

I realise that my recent posts have had very little to do with actual school work, and neither does this one, so I feel the need to reassure my parents anyone reading that I am, in fact, doing a lot of school work as well. It just so happens that I often find myself doing bloggable, non-school-related things on Mondays and Tuesdays that I feel the need to share. Now that that's...

HvZ

This morning marked the start of another round of Humans vs. Zombies. I, like many other freshmen (we make up over half of the game), could be found ducking and dodging around campus trying to avoid confrontation. For anyone who doesn't know about HvZ, it is a simulation of a zombie apocalypse, complete with nerf guns (or socks), missions, and zombies which increase in number a...

JabbaWockeeZ

Over the summer, I decided I was going to try something new once I got to college, so when a link to the KASA Freshman Hip-Hop Team was posted on Facebook, I joined the team with absolutely no dance experience. Tonight was our second practice and we had a guest instructor. So in my second ever hip-hop practice, I was learning from a JabbaWockee. For those of you who may not kno...

Fountaining

Last night was the first fountaining of the year for our sponsor group! Of course, our first birthday was Alex the football player's, but we still managed to chase him down and throw him into a fountain. (Although, we had to change our plans slightly and use the fountain outside of Frank, because there was no way we were going to make it all the way to Thatcher.) Thank y...
