Oberlin Blogs

I love the idea of ExCos--it's part of the reason I came here. I signed up for a bunch of them but only one really worked out with my schedule. (One of my sophomore friends told me that it's funny how first-years try to do everything, but the truth is, there's so much interesting stuff going on, it's impossible not to at least try it.)

Dan stood in front of the bulldozers and blocked the construction for hours before they hauled him away. Why weren't there hundreds of people with him? Thousands?

I went into the first lesson armed with ten years of violin lessons, one year of music theory, and a textbook.

And one more interesting thing. This is my thirteenth post here. I figured publishing it tomorrow would be a little much.

During Add/Drop, we overcommit. This is inevitable.

Since I first sat back down at my desk last Saturday, I had this whole blog perfectly planned out.

I had cancelled most of my plans for the weekend to write my script for cinema, and was currently completely outlined but not written. And I needed inspiration. A room full of creative souls seemed like a good place to be for two hours of my precious Sunday time.

The Storytelling Exco has been the pillar of my college experience -- performance on the outside and therapy on the inside.
