a college snow day

 Hello everyone!

It's been a whirlwind of events back to back lately and I can hardly keep up with them! However, my handy camera(s) have been able to capture what I have not be able to update about! Thank goodness for today's snow...err...rain day? Believe me, college snow days are not what they are back in high school--gone are the  days of doing nothing and instead, days off are all about catching up :) Oh, well. What did you ladies do today?

Have you had a chance to read about one of our traditions 100 nights? Well it's mostly for the seniors to celebrate 100 nights before thy graduate! Part of the celebration is the underclassmen lighting the way from the Noyes House cocktail hour to Doyle Formal dinner! Sparklers are an awesome modern twist.

Have you guys ever wondered what happens behind the scenes during admissions events? 

When I was first visiting I always marveled at how composed everyone was! Really though, we have so much fun behind the scenes. Here are some of the pictures of moments you may have missed at Scholarship Dinner. Hope you had as much fun as we did!

Can you spot the admissions counselor in this picture? Hint, it's not Brenner! :)

L: Could you guys finish your cake? R: Oh hello there athletes!

We brought over somethings to headquarters (aka Theresa Hall offices) only to realize we were without keys into the building. Our brilliant idea was to take pictures while we wait.

More getting locked out on the left, and out of the heels on the right!

This is what my friends define as support when I have a paper to write for my Saturday class after Scholarship dinner. Watching a movie on my bed with our prospective student (she's leaning back so you can't see her!)

So what's with this "snow" day? 

Don't get me wrong, I loved sleeping in until noon but I really expected to be able to go sledding or something! Well, we instead felt too lazy to go out and get lunch/dinner in Doyle so we made red velvet pancakes and experimented with adding coffee to regular pancakes (it was interesting to say the least).

Thanks, Chen, for cooking! Anyway, I should probably get back to my paper now--more soon. Oh and if you're looking for more pictures Admissions will have them up soon!
