Easter Weekend

By Jenny

Hello there! Right after the prefrosh left us, Easter weekend stopped by. (Personally, I think everyday should be Easter! :D) Some of my friends from the Caltech Christian Fellowship (CCF) and Life Church Fellowship (LCF) spent our Saturday evening at the Union Station Homeless Services Center, making food for and eating with the residents there. We got to talk to some really amazing people and hear some of their stories.

Coming from the buckle of the Bible belt (Dallas, TX), I was worried initially about the way Christians would be treated out here on the west coast. We’re supposed to be persecuted (John 15:18), though, so I wasn’t about to run away. Turns out, talking to Techers about my faith so far has been surprisingly nice. While some people disagree with my world view, they’re willing to hear me out. I’ve also found out through people’s questions that there a number of unfortunate misconceptions, and it’s always great to clear those up. The most interesting conversation I’ve had so far has got to be one I had with some friends while we were in Vegas… but that’s a story for another time.

Anyway, so we were serving some food for the soul. Here are some pictures, of course!

Even more kitchen chemistry. (;

The menu tonight: Spinach, Asparagus, and ChickenPenne Rigate, Comfort Green Bean Stew, and Spring Spinach Salad with a Special House Dressing!

And best for last, dessert! Confetti cake with your choice of vanilla or chocolate icing.

Jessica and Sophia getting ready to serve! All in all, it was a pretty productive and delicious day. 6: Afterwards, I learned how to clean up in an industrial-sized kitchen:

Cleaning up the right way.

And that’s just something else we do instead of sets. (: Keep lookin’ up, Jenny.

My Friday Nights

It was the Friday night of midterms during my first year at Caltech, and I was alone in the library. That weekend (week five of term, if you’re keeping count) also happens to coincide with Halloween. But as a bright-eyed frosh trudging my way through Ma 1a lecture notes, I was just baffled that no one else was studying alongside me. Spoiler alert: not all Caltech students spend Friday night—or every night—studying or grinding sets, even during midterms. And especially on Halloween weekend.

In order to get a good sense of the Caltech community, there is no better way than to talk to the students themselves. To give a little bit of an inside perspective of Caltech, I asked some students a variety of questions. Questions ranged from conspiracy theories to Caltech-specific takes and other random topics.

What's on my desk?

I’d like to think that I keep a tidy desk, but hey— entropy prevails for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of all the items you could find on my desk, circa February 2023.

Searching for snow

My grandma always says that it rains whenever Dragonssuperior zodiac sign travel, and sure enough, it was raining when I landed at LAX for my last calendar year at Caltech. It’s officially my graduation year—but between leaving campus just before spring term in my freshman year and returning, twenty-one years old, as a junior, it really does feel like my time here has flown by.
