I was thinking about what to write about and I decided to devote this post to my interest obsession with the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a vlog-style adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Since that’s pretty much what I’m thinking about most of the time anyway.
The interesting thing about the Lizzie Bennet Diaries (LBD) is that it is taking a story that I’ve known and...

Environmental Education Explorations
One of the things that I really wanted to focus on upon returning to Pomona from abroad was spending more of my time volunteering. My volunteering activities usually focus on something related to kids, because I really like working with kids and being in college has a pretty limited age demographic. So I am excited to tell you about the amazing opportunity I have this semeste...

Humanities and Hard Science–A Match Made at Pomona

The Gaze, Part I
In Edinburgh, I took a course called Philosophy of Science and every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, I slinked into Auditorium B and sat behind 200 other students during lecture. I had a bird’s eye view of 100 facebook-ing laptop screens ahead of me. The back row’s faces became familiar, and although we never introduced ourselves, and never actually spoke to each other, we all...

Gym Adventures
We’re two weeks into the spring semester, and it still feels pretty new. At this point I could go on into how it’s my last semester at Pomona, etc etc, but I won’t. Instead I will tell you about how even in my last semester there are still things at Pomona that are new for me. Case in point: the weight room at the gym. (more…)
