Wake Up Frosh!!

Good morning everyone! This morning, we had a fake ditch day in Fleming House. Andrew and I have been planning out or “Price is Right”-themed stack all week…and woke up early to set it up and awaken the underclassmen along with the other seniors in our house. So here is our fake ditch day stack 2 of the year in pictures…

I’m going to take a quick nap after this so I can get some rest from all the excitement—I’ve got a tour today at 10am for a group of high school students. This week was a bit tiring for me. It included a career fair and multiple yoga and dance classes….oh and tons of reading applications for admissions. I am so excited for this weekend though–I’ve got my plans already made :D…and it includes Lloyd Interhouse! Enjoy your weekend!

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.
