Today was a nice break after yesterday’s hectic schedule. Arunima and I went to breakfast, then headed down to a lecture on success in sciences at CMC. I already have permission to take an astro course from Pomona (I think—I don’t know what my advisor did, but she said I could sign up for it if I wanted), and I was thinking of taking Calc 30 or Beginning Photography after that. Hmmm let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions.

Lunch was In & Out burger with Harvey Mudd—I think of the four CMC colleges around us, the Mudders are the best. They’re very quiet and shy; therefore you can’t really see them at dances and carnivals, but honestly, that’s how I think I like them. A lot of upperclassmen told us first-years to date the Mudders, because most of them haven’t had girlfriends before, and they treat us Scrippsies right, they’re very sweet. It’s also sort-of a tradition for Scrippsies to hook up with Mudders, I understand. Anyway, the ones I met at lunch were really nice.

I had most of this afternoon to myself—some of you saw me on AIM, I wrote a few emails, then called Mom and Joey at home…they seem jolly. I also worked on scheduling a bit; errk who knows what I want to take. Meh, we’ll figure it out.

There was a 5C Carnival tonight hosted at Scripps; I only showed up for a short while, but at least I can say I showed. There weren’t many people there, aside from Scrippsies and a few Pitzer kids.

Right now the Harvey Mudders think that they have placement exams at seven in the morning tomorrow. Most of them are going to bed right now, to get a good night’s sleep so they can do well on their tests. What they don’t know is they are the butts of a prank that happens every year between Scripps and Mudd—our ever-famous Mudd Run. At three in the morning tonight, the R.A.’s and peer advisors at Mudd are going to wake up the Mudders, shouting that they have to get up for their exams, etc. Then they are going to run the Mudders down our rose garden, and there we will wait in pursuit, water balloons armed! So, we’re all going to get soaked and wet, ’cause the R.A.’s defend their freshmen by soaking us with super soakers, but it’s going to be really funny, and it’s a tradition we girls have been doing against the guys since…well, probably since the schools have opened. So, I better sleep until then…don’t worry, I’m getting my nine hours of sleep!
