Disclaimer: even though today is my last day at the office for the summer (still giving a tour tomorrow though!), this post is not going to be a proper reflection or goodbye. Sorry friends. All summer long, two close friends of mine, Charlie and Emma, have been working as the Chief Administrative Officers of a […]

Life’s a Zoo

August26

When you live on campus for months on end, the dogs that you interact with on a regular basis are few. So, if I’ve learned anything over this past year, it’s that college students love (read: freak out when they see) dogs. When my advisor asked if I would dogsit for him a few days ago, […]

How to Brunch

August17

If you’re anything like me, you understand the difficulty that comes with deciding whether to go sweet (pancakes, waffles) or savory (eggs, bacon) when you go out for breakfast. No matter the occasion, it is without a doubt going to be a hard choice for me to make. Kendall and I went out to the […]

Back at the Loaf

August14

Yes, I was as humored at the name “Bread Loaf” as you too, reader, when I first heard of it. However–I do attribute that laughter and curiosity to my being a Middlebury student in the first place. What I am referring to is the Middlebury College Bread Loaf School of English, whose campus is located in […]

Colin is my bff

August14

Dear blog, I love Colin. He seems to be the best worker in the office, as well as the most mature. His level of competency is wonderful.

很安静的地方

August10

I know everyone mentions how ~gorgeous~ Vermont is in their posts, but I felt those sentiments pretty strongly yesterday. I went on two different hikes: one in Ripton in the afternoon, and then a classic sunset hike on Snake Mountain at night. Before I visited Middlebury for the first time, I had spent a long […]

August7

(Okay, not yet. I am not officially wearing the hat of First Year Counselor, but maybe half of that hat. A visor, if you will.) However, I am psyched for Res Life training, as it means the freshmen will arrive! At the end of the month, I will be moving into the same first year […]

Ukulele Babysitter

August5

Old dogs can definitely learn new tricks. Or, at least attempt them. In this allegory I am the old-ish dog, and playing stringed instruments is the set of tricks I am still working on learning. As part of my quest to learn all the things, I’ve been in an ongoing attempt to learn to play the […]

Proctor Recipes (part II)

July28

Let’s face the facts: the dining halls aren’t going to be serving your favorite meal 100% of the time. And some days, you just want to go for a good old-fashioned sandwich. The panini machines are definitely my favorite thing about Proctor Dining Hall, and tonight (as well as most days during lunch) I put […]

Banjo + Guzheng = ?

July24

This past weekend, the Middlebury College Summer Language Schools celebrated their centennial with a huge dance (see Kendall’s post), fireworks, a lot of speakers and panels, and many more events, including a performance in Mead Chapel by Abigail Washburn and Wu Fei. Abby is an alum of the Chinese Summer School, arriving in 1998, and is […]
