Opps, I forgot I have a blog...

Some things I forgot to blog during the year in no particular order:


Beach Day on Alexander Beach

2011 towels, beach balls, water bottles, and FOOD during Reading Period
(Believe it or not, those folks are pretty awesome.)



Galveston, Tx - SVC Breakout Trip
Intersession 2009

We spent the week with sledgehammers tearing down deteriorating buildings for locals. September 2008's Hurricane Ike damaged more than 70% of all residences on the island, and despite the efforts of FEMA and charity groups, many buildings have still not been repaired.

It had been 3 years since my last trip to Texas, and visiting Houston and pigging out on large Texan platters again was lovely!


Oh, Texas . . .



Sophomore Semi-Formal
2+ months of planning

Band - Famous by Monday
1200+ invitations made and delivered
Food from Ferry House and Chez Alice
400+ balloons, ivy, and flowers
Lights, light, lights

. . . and breathe out.










January 20th, 2009 - Obama's Inauguration
The body heat of 5 million people was not enough to make DC decently warm, but the inauguration was still amazing! After getting up at 4:30 am to help supervise the bus from Pton to D.C., I had felt like a zombie until we reached the center of the city when the general excitement woke me up. No one was short an American flag, an Obama pin, or, as corny as it may sound, patriotic hope. Much applause to D.C. for smooth organization.





Thanksgiving in D.C.



Pre-Rade - Welcoming the Class of 2012









A Yale Weekend - Visiting Della and Irina!
