Practice Makes Perfect

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to touch base before my crazy weekend started…It’s going to be soo exciting with lots of events (see below!) and rehearsals.

Since the dance show is fast approaching–next weekend!…one of the dances I’m in (I guess I’ll call it…the Korean Pop Genie Dance) will also be performing at the Annual Team Tech Talent Show tomorrow night (this Saturday) so we can get used to staging the dance. It’s been pretty hard to coordinate with 9 girls—we all have busy schedules! But every night this past week we’ve been practicing together and solidifying our formations. We also got our high heeled pumps that are part of our costumes this past week—and we have been struggling doing our choreography in them. But we won’t be able to get it down unless we wear them from now until the show(s)—OUCH! This weekend involves this talent show performance, more dance rehearsals, cognitive psychology homework…and the PASADENA COLLEGE FIELD TOURNAMENT! I’m actually off to a team practice right now for this exciting tournament which will take place tomorrow at the Rose Bowl. The 5 colleges in Pasadena will be competing tomorrow in various events—such as Monster Croquet, Cheeseburger Challenge, Pasadena Puzzle, etc.

I was just named to this 20 person team a few days ago, and have been busy getting ready for the event! Here is the press release made earlier last week in the Pasadena Star News. I will be competing in a few different events—but specializing in what will be known as the “Uniform Challenge.” All I can disclose at the moment is that it involves our Beaver mascot, and crazy Einstein hair :) I’ll be sure to fill you guys in!

Summer Preseason

Unlike many students, I never had the opportunity to visit Caltech before enrolling. I had visited California once in elementary school, and the first time I returned was to move in for college. The only time I had ever left home before was for a week or two of sleepaway camp. Now, I would be moving across the country to a place I had never seen before with a bunch of strangers. Naturally, I was a bit terrified.

Page Paint Night

Every midterm week and final week, Page House Peer Advocates (PAs) put on a de-stressing event. This term for midterms, the PAs hosted a painting night in conjunction with a Page dessert night. (Every Thursday, the House gives $60 to a pageboy (a member of Page) to buy a bunch of dessert and snacks for the house for dessert night.). They provided canvases, paint brushes, and a variety of paint colors for the night. It was a really fun and relaxing time to stop working on sets or studying for midterms for a bit and hangout with friends.

Socal College Poker Tournament

On the weekend of April 16th, my friends and I participated in the first ever Southern California College Poker Tournament! The tournament was for college students in the SoCal area with a $0 buy-in that doubled as a recruiting event for quant and finance firms. A senior friend of mine (Vanessa, a fellow blogger) put together a team of five girls who had no interest in being recruited and just wanted to have fun playing poker.
