I saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants yesterday with Anne and it inexplicably made me cry. What a good movie to watch and think of choirgirls. Of course none of us is that easily categorized, the quiet one, the rebel, the athlete, but we are that close. I hope we always keep in touch, just like them, except without the statutory rape and the ( Read more... ) -

So I'm in the Hebrew Heritage House. I am officially an Uber-jew. Two jewish classes and the jewish house, I didn't actually sign up for any of this. I'm freaked, I'm not actually that jewish.

More Res life stuff
So, I got my room assignments today. Yes plural. I am currently assigned to live in BOTH Johnson 206 and Barrows 247. I suspect that Barrows is the correct one because it looks like my roomate for Johnson already has an Oberlin email address.

The Great Newfoundland Update
I just got back from Festival 500 in Newfoundland, it was amazing. Purely musically, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Socially, it was tough but just about as good as can be expected with all of us decompensating for the stress and sadness of leaving choir. The best part?
