It's been a while since my last post; I guess Dartmouth's been keeping me busy.
A number shitty academically related things have happened to me since my last post, but I won't bore anyone by enumerating them. JK...I had four midterms in three weeks, twice as many problem sets and a report on Ge-Sn crystallization on amorphous silicon wafers.
On to more interesting things.
Carnival is ridiculous. I mean Ivies level ridiculous, with day drinking and such to the max.
Heavy drinking and frat hopping Thursday night, order pizza later, wake up without a hangover. Epic win.
Last night...watched Dartmouth hockey get slaughtered by Union College(which I've never even heard of) 5-1. A group of Dartmouth '15 girls sitting in front of us destroyed what was left of my faith in humanity by talking about Twilight and hockey player's butts while having fake tans and way too much make up on. Seriously, one level below Jersey Shore obnoxiousness. These people are going to be leaders in America some day just because their diploma says Dartmouth...
What is this world coming to?
Following some casual drinking in a friends room where I met a cute girl, our group decided to go frat hopping. No, I don't remember where I went, nor do I quite remember how I ended up eating two cheeseburgers and a slice of pizza. I do know we ended up at a raging dance party at ChiGam for quite a while before our group splintered with different people pairing off and leaving and the colby kid taking off with my prospective cutie...As the last lone man standing I decided to call it quits and head back. Need to learn to flirt better...eh
Good(ish) night.
Things that I don't understand about Dartmouth...
1. Paper thin walls that let me hear the girl next to me having really loud sex and the girls to the other side of me yelling about handles of Smirnoff at 10 in the morning, waking me up entirely too fucking early.
2. People who work out in the gym wearing Sperry's...I just don't understand.
3. Our giant snow sculpture that turned out to be a stupid cupcake...yea a cupcake...it's just as lame as it sounds.
4. Slow ass internet that won't let me watch Chuck online.
5. Why did I come here again?
Also, a quick recap on last week when I went back to Bowdoin. To the best of my recollection, here are some highlights:
1. Dinner with (most) of the old house and friends, where conversation topics included vodka tampons, and how to shave half of v's hair off in the most stylish way (reverse mohawk is my personal favorite)
2. Party at Pine E where I was ambushed with slap-the-bag followed by a beer bong. Good times playing bouncy ball and 'root. Shout out to my friends who know how to take of my liver, and to those who took care of me after I realized my Burnett-level tolerance was a thing of the past.
3. Pregame at School street. What can I say? Nothing says Burn reunion better than power hours, bouncy ball, and 'root. Also, sick apartment set up, minus the distance from campus. For future reference: still not a good idea to pour shots into the bouncy ball cups.
4. Party at Pine A where I held my alcohol better, actually talked and caught up with some physics peeps, stayed until way too late and got BBQ bacon pizza from Domino's...so clutch
5. Morning after brunch...so sad to say goodbye to everyone, but hopeful that I would see them next week for Carnival...didn't quite happen, but there's always next time.
P.S. Brunch at Bowdoin >> Brunch at Dartmouth...just not even a contest.
Can't wait to get back and rage some more....Also, let's figure out housing.
