This school year, Denison University celebrates its 175th year as a university--don't ask me why 175 in particular is so special (apparently, we have a celebration every 5 years), but nonetheless, I think it's pretty cool that Denison's been around so long. The first class [and I'm sure it was a pretty small one] enrolled at Denison in December ( Read more... )

I'm pretty psyched, because we have a 3-day weekend--unfortunately, the only one the whole school year--because we're celebrating MLK Jr.'s birthday on Monday, which is strange, considering 99% of the country celebrated his birthday Monday of this week (the 15th), but, of course, being that we're a private institution, our administrators can pretty ( Read more... )

My brother's 16 today, can you believe it? I sure can't. That makes me feel old (lol), though I'm really only like 3.5 years older than him. And you know what this means: that he's going to be driving soon! I'm actually not that worried about it, because I think he'd be a pretty good driver (hopefully). He's going to driving my car, which ( Read more... )

Hey, guess what? Today's my 1/2 birthday, woohoo!!!! Not like I'm going to celebrate it or anything (lol), but that's pretty cool, don't you think? So that means that I'll be 20 exactly 6 months from today...yikes, I can't believe I'm going to be a teenager for only another 1/2 a year :( The funny thing is, I have a friend (from Denison) who's ( Read more... )

I just bought presents for my parents at the Denison bookstore -- I know it's late for my mom's birthday (October 27), and it's kind of not fair that I'm going to be there for my dad's birthday (tomorrow) but not my mom's, but I thought it'd make more sense for me to just bring both of their presents when I come home for break. At least this year ( Read more... )

So, last night I went to my 2nd real college party ever. And it was actually pretty fun, for the 1st 2 hours, but then I started to get tired -- I know, I know, I'm pathetic...but, honestly, I'm just not a big fan or partying. Which is why I'll only party with like my sorority sisters and stuff, and it's not something I want to do often. I do ( Read more... )

So today's Founder's Day for AXO -- as of today, we are 121 years old! In case you're wondering about the history of AXO, you can check out our website. Anywho, it was pretty fun; we got to eat dinner and chat with some alumni, most of whom didn't graduate from Denison, but it's still pretty cool that they're AXOs. There was this cute little ( Read more... )

Hey, I know this is pretty cheesy, but today's my 1/3 birthday -- yes, it's true: today I'm 19.25 years old! Haha I'm quite silly, I know, but little things like that make me happy. It's hard to believe that my b'day was 5 months ago; time really does fly (here I go with cliches again). This means that my 1/2 b'day's in exactly 2 months! Now ( Read more... )

We finally had a hot day -- and of course, we didn't go to the beach at camp, and of course, we were stuck inside for a couple hours watching a movie (it was already planned, so there was nothing we could do about it). I know this is really pessismistic of me--I need to change my attitude lol--but c'mon, really, we suddenly have a sunny & warm [ ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm sad my birthday's over -- it was awesome, really; of course, you can never do everything that you want to do in one day, but I did do quite a lot...In the morning I didn't really do anything, but then around lunchtime Mom and I walked down to the Borough and stopped for lunch at Theresa's (sp?) cafe--I'd never been there before, but I'll ( Read more... )
