remember me to one who lives there (scarborough fair)

Fall is a mysteriously lovely time of year, especially when the light wanders somewhere between summer and twilight. I don't care what people say, the leaves do change color here in Northern California!

Sophia showed me this awesome frozen yogurt place this afternoon. It's almost as good as the one near Harvard. lacesilkvinyl, I want to get boba with you, Danielle, and Sophia right now! (I'm really sorry about being lousy and unreliable, but I can't call you until this weekend because I'm low on cell phone minutes until November. And I have a really nasty feeling that the birthday card and CD that I sent you never did show up. Damn the post office.) And wander around Cambridge until beautifully absurd hours of the morning and stare at the stars from the foot of the Lamont Library steps. The Harvard reps came to visit the IHL this afternoon, and I kept wanting them to hurry up through all of the obvious stuff about concentrations instead of majors and reading periods and whatnot. But of course, they ended up saying everything I already knew about the place, although with a little more PR enhancement. They never even mentioned how fabulous Cambridge is for uni students. And now I have just made my uber-pretentious quota for the day.

'Tis the ringing season again during which hapless junior ringees find creative ways to woo their senior ringers into giving the juniors the seniors' class rings. Apparently there are a lot of all-girls' institutions with similar traditions (including Banquet), according to Ellie, who spent her senior year of high school at an American all-girls boarding school. I am quite delighted with mine; I wasn't expecting anything this morning when I found that adorable Snoopy stuffed animal holding the jack-o-lantern and the cute black cat mug with the Halloween candy. And then there was the inspirational "you can get through college apps" card. Huzzah! Must think of something nice to do for whoever it is-I've narrowed it down to two people.


Edit: all relevant graphics-i.e. these Third Man friends only banners-have been moved to my icon journal, retro_activity.

The lovely fonts "Porcelain" and "Selfish" can be found here. Perhaps sometime I'll make some Vertigo banners just for the fun of it.

Sounds fantastic! My undergrad I did a double major in Film Theory and Politics, and sort of did a Women's studies minor as well on the side. One of the things which I really liked about undergrad was that in second adn third year you could talor essays to your own interests within structured classes. For instance, I started experimenting with ideas for graduate study in third year ( I did a 3 year bachelors here, nof t 4 like it is in the US). And I picked classes where I could write an essay about music/national cinema/women's studies within a generalised kind of film course. So look for classes which foster interdisiplinary thinking if you're thinking of finding a way to combine your interests. Since you're the creative type, it might also be a noteworthy thing to perhaps stick in a college statement, maybe that you see the wider connections between topics and would like X program for X reasons.
