May 27, 2009
Under the new management, the Apollo now has two-dollar matinees, is screening a few different movies a week, and they're starting up a great new-old tradition: the midnight movie.
Remembering Memorial Day
May 26, 2009
For those of you abroad who don't know, this past weekend was a holiday in the US: Memorial Day.
My schedule: in flux
May 24, 2009
I'm currently signed up for four classes, only two of which are ones that I'm actually going to take.
Senior Week (in Webcomics!)
May 23, 2009
College has been better than any other time in my life. When I think about who I was when I arrived here, and who I am now... I am a fundamentally different person. I grew up in Oberlin.
We Are the Hand Claps
May 21, 2009
If there is one thing I learned how to do better at Oberlin that wasn't advertised at first was that I am now very good at applause.
Let the Fun Commence

Campus is rather empty right now and it seems like someone picked up Oberlin by the tail and shook and a few good people stayed latched on for the ride.
The Joys of Cooperative Dining
May 20, 2009
Thankfully, there were senior members who talked me through the best ways to peel garlic, fry potatoes, and make an omelet. Never would I have imagined that a group of students could be efficient and capable enough to orchestrate what functioned like a self-contained dining hall.
Commencement Speakers (not as dry as it sounds!)

As we approach Oberlin's Commencement Ceremony, I couldn't help but think about Commencement speeches that I've heard over the years.
Done.

Really, the only solution was to stay up until around 3:00 AM, listening to hit songs from the nineties, reading picture books, and learning the proper way to put on bangles.
A Night at the Movies
May 15, 2009
As a cinema studies major, I don't have exams. If you're in a more traditional cinema class (think English, but your texts are films), you have final papers, but if you're in production classes, you're spending all your time editing, shooting (god help you if this is the case), editing more, printing to tape, and attending your class and other production class screenings.
Life in a Cardboard Box
May 14, 2009
Remember how I mentioned there are all these distractions during reading period and finals? Ah, yes, there is another one I failed to mention earlier, and that is PACKING.
