This week is really starting to look up, after a great game of ultimate (“Dooooooooom”) and a wonderful care package from Ruth. The latter contained this season’s version of the Williams Rape and Sexual Assault Network’s “Ask” t-shirt (in brown, which is turning out to be this season’s color, as well) and a Montana [...]
I know, it’s hard to believe. After a 48+ hour traveling odyssey beginning on friday evening, of which more than half was spent aboard some manner of moving vehicle, I am finally home. I’m still reeling from all the traveling and the jetlag and the aftershocks of teh dysentery (made worse by all the imodium [...]
The big news is that school is (kind of) over: culture paper handed in Wednesday, Tibetan exam taken Thursday, and philosophy papers finished yesterday (was it really yesterday?). And, just like that, another semester is basically finished. We have from now until May 20 for our independent research projects, which is certainly going [...]
Recently, I feel like it’s easy to forget that there are big things happening in the world that are very closely connected to where I am. As the protests and riots of March recede into the past, the media frenzy is quieting down and McLeod now seems more focused on the tourists coming from [...]
But inspired by Matt’s far less self-conscious study abroad musings, here are some of my own.
Indian sweets are ubiquitous here (except in McLeod Ganj, since Tibetans don’t really have a taste for them) and are basically deep-fried cheese balls drenched in honey. You’d never know that from the taste though; ras gulai tastes kind [...]
It has certainly been a busy few weeks since you last heard from me here. Losar was wonderful and fun, and certainly not deserving of any of the anxiety that I had. Many (most?) of the Sarah students left to stay with relatives for the week-long holiday, and somehow it feels like most [...]
In what is becoming a disturbingly regular trend I feel must begin this post by apologizing for being such a loser blogger. I’ve had half a dozen ideas kicking around for the last month or so, about the end of the semester, moving, saying goodbye to Williams friends, the various unexpected paths my friends [...]
The big news is that I finally sent my study abroad application in, via overnight mail last thursday. However, it turns out that the deadline was moved from this past monday to next friday (October 26). Grrrrr. On the bright side, I think this probably bodes well for my chances of admission. I still have [...]
I’m at school! It’s awesome! I’m very busy! But my room is awesome, Hunt and I have a piñata (named Javier, say hi to him sometime), Ruth’s entry is a lot of fun. A capella madness is in full swing, with entry sings last night (three and a half hours of [...]
Since my class is entering its junior year at Williams, many (many!) of us are studying abroad. Thankfully, many of them are blogging about it: (short-and-suite member) Noe is enrolled at a university in Spain for the entire year, Katie is doing an SIT program in Fiji, and freshly minted Williams alum Alex Hogan [...]
