I've been reviewing applications since November, with a couple of months still to go before we mail our decision letters....

Please excuse my first post waxing nostalgic about graduating. There will probably be more.

My colleagues and I looked at each other in astonishment. No, we mumbled almost apologetically, we're sorry, but that is not a problem we tend to have.

There is, in fact, only one magical way to schedule all the performances (AND hit every single "Welcome back to a new semester! We missed you!" activity AND manage to see all your friends who you missed all of winter term... which can all coincide sometimes).

There we were, plodding along side by side on the icy streets of Oberlin, snow soaking in through the mesh of our running shoes, brisk wind turning our limbs rosy red, winter sun on our faces.

I got my grades for my first ever semester in college back a few weeks ago, and I'm...pretty pleased, actually....

Since I first sat back down at my desk last Saturday, I had this whole blog perfectly planned out.

To learn the routes of migration, we did in a couple of easy hours what takes most migrants four excruciating days.
