Monday, April 18 was probably the busiest day of my last semester here. I spent a good five hours helping out the ILR Undergraduate Admissions office with the last of Cornell Days, our series of events for admitted students. I love Cornell Days, even if it makes my calendar explode. On every open house day, [...]

Title doesn’t seem so bad, right? At the risk of jinxing myself, I’m going to say that this exam period is shaping up to be my least stressful ever. All of my term papers are finished, and my three exams are spaced out pretty evenly over this week and next. My middle exam is going [...]

I’m in New York City for the first time in years, and what do I do? Spend some quality time at the New York Public Library. It’s beautiful, and I think my friend Michelle was actually being serious when she said she wanted to get married here. Catherwood is still home for me, but I [...]

I wrapped up my last class of sophomore year this afternoon! That whole halfway-done-with-college thing continues to freak me out, but remembering that I still have to pass my classes is another story entirely. For the epic turn of events that made April the best month of my life, this semester has been my most [...]

Every Thursday night is reserved for weekly reunion dinners with the ILRies I don’t get to see anymore. For a school as small as ILR, it’s actually quite possible to lose track of people when you don’t have classes with them. Accordingly, I dined with one of my dear friends from Stats and Labor Law, [...]

While the President enjoys high approval ratings and a pliant Congress, I enjoy my two-hour dinners, classes that end early, and putting off work to my glorious three-day weekends. This won’t last forever for either of us, of course. In my case, the e-mails about required meetings start to trickle in, and I slowly add [...]

Though the events that shaped my return-to-school itinerary were not the best, I can’t have imagined celebrating Barack Obama’s inauguration in a better way. I divided the last few weeks of Obamania between Washington and Ithaca. I spent the weeks leading up to the inauguration doing all of the usual Washingtonian kid things: long strolls [...]

Winter Break is slipping away, and my feelings are predictably mixed. On the one hand, I can’t wait to see my friends, and Spring ’09 is offering an exciting set of classes and two legendary ILR professors who are rumored to destroy GPAs. On the other hand, I will ring in this semester 350 miles [...]

My ILR table inside William Keeton House on West Campus just finished watching President-Elect Obama (I totally had to backspace over “Senator” right there!) deliver his acceptance speech. I have to admit that I’ve never heard ILR kids this silent. Calling the last four hours of watching returns in the Keeton dining hall “surreal” would [...]

Hello American prospective students, This is “Mich,” Patricia’s awesome and cute and slightly hyperactive personal-space-sharer (aka friend). We’re coming to you live from Keeton House, which is where I live on West Campus, in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 Presidential Elections! I spent all day today (after class, of course) downtown at the Obama [...]
