The forecast was dreamlike. Low 80′s and sunny, as far as the little forecast icons could stretch across my screen. When has that happened in Ithaca in the month of May? Never, seemed to be the consensus. Senior week was a glorious period of pre-graduation celebration under the Ithaca sun that allowed us outgoing members [...]

The Arts Quad: Where Cornell Comes Together.
April 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Awesome People, Photography, Spring 2010, Weather
Friday, February 26, 2010 After the most significant snowstorm of the academic year (and of the past three-ish years, I’d say), students (and even some faculty and administrators) from across campus came to the Arts Quad for what would be probably the biggest snowball fight in Cornell’s long history. Arranged via Facebook, the snowball fight [...]
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas. Cornell, However, Begs to Differ.
December 19th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Weather, Winter Break 2009-2010
Cornell is home to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Northeast Regional Climate Center, also known as the meteorological institution that perennially crushes my dreams of having a white Christmas in southwestern Connecticut. At around this time of year, the Cornell Chronicle, without fail, releases a seasonally appropriate press release highlighting the Climate Center’s [...]

A Visit to the True North
October 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Fall 2009, Weather
For fall break last week, I headed north of the border with a fellow Sun editor to visit a friend from home who goes to school in Montréal. While I had visited her a couple of times before, I’ve always visited at the beginning of January when her spring semester is just starting and the [...]

Prelim Season
September 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Academics, Fall 2009, Weather
I was wearing shorts last week, if I recall correctly. Ithaca was still basking in the seemingly endless sunshine that, in a normal year, would have ceased to exist after orientation week (or so it always seems…). Then came this week. The mercury plummeted and the skies turned grey; we won’t be making it out [...]
Back to the Grind.
March 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Academics, Spring 2009, Weather
The Monday after spring break is one of the more obnoxious days of the academic year. Nearly everyone on campus has just spent a slightly less stressful week spread out across the globe. The stream of cars on Route 79 entering Ithaca on Sunday evening carries better-rested students whose sunburn still kind of hurts and [...]

Making Something of a Cornell Winter.
February 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Photography, Spring 2009, Weather
Last Wednesday, we got a decent amount of snow at Cornell; something to the tune of six inches or so. Far from paralyzing all human activity, the snowstorm made for some good photo opportunities around campus. Jenn and I decided to embark from Collegetown at around 6pm, starting in the Cascadilla Gorge area. The photo [...]

Hurdles to Clear…
December 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Fall 2008: Chile, Weather
Posts about my travels in Argentina and Uruguay are upcoming…eventually. Yesterday the hard drive on my laptop died (for the third time in its 2.5 year lifetime), rendering me without my photos for the time being. Fortunately, I have everything backed up on an external hard drive, so no photos have been lost to my [...]

Mendoza: A Recap.

Gülce and I arrived in Mendoza on Sunday morning after a half-hour flight over the Andes from Santiago. We’re making all of our journeys on this trip on LAN Airlines, save for the segment between Buenos Aires and Montevideo, thanks to LAN’s unbeatable South America Airpass (which gives serious airfare discounts to foreigners in South [...]

Admiring from afar.

Facebook statuses tell the story: it’s snowing at Cornell…and sticking. This unofficial entry to winter never fails to brighten (if but for a moment) an increasingly dark fall semester, with deadlines for final papers and projects looming in the not-so-distant future along with the promise of the brief respite provided by Thanksgiving Break. Sitting at [...]
