Alma Mater

Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the college on the hill!
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her,
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Though 'round the girdled earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains;
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill-winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch
Lest the old traditions fail!
Stand as sister stands by brother!
Dare a deed for the old Mother!
Greet the world, from the hills, with a hail!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Around the world they keep for her
Their old undying faith;
They have the still North in their soul,
The hill-winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them till death.
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them till death.

bored

Getting used to this d-plan is going to take a while. Finals are over yay! However, i'm home chilling now and none of my friends have even began to take finals. So for two weeks I am at home with my family....bored. It's cool being home and finished with the semester so early I just need something to so. The break isn't long enough to find a job soooooo....sleeping is the main thing currently. Luckily I have the dartmouth crew from dc to keep me company. They club of washington is throwing us a holiday party...yesssss. Anywho, I now think I am officially a New Englander now lol. The weather at home is like paradise to the 8 or so inches of snow thats already fallen in good 'ol Hanover. I'm not even wearing a jacket at home...people think i've gone crazy.

Random fact: I really miss the froyo at foco..♥

thanks:)

First term is almost over...that.is.crazy. Less than three months ago I was leaving my crying mother to go and receive my first taste of "independence" and now I'm sitting at an airport going home for the holidays. My view of Dartmouth has remained unchanged the more in depth my classes became. My professors are AMAZING. My Chem teacher rapped 50cent the first day of classes. That when I truly knew I was at the right school. I know that Dartmouth is known for not being competitive and I think that’s what I needed in college. My classmates aren't worried about what my grade will do to the class curve. I ALWAYS receive help, my professors, TA's, or a random person I’m sitting beside are always willing to help. Dartmouth gives you the chance to LEARN. Like legit learn instead of learn how to stay ahead grade wise of your classmates. Choosing classes this term wasn’t really that hard. My Advisor is amazing (shout out to Professor Doug VanCitters!). He helped me plan my classes, gave me tips to help with studying, and checks up on me often to make sure is going on. I’m telling you Dartmouth earned my trust and love. ANYWAYS...I’m currently sitting in an airport after catching a 3am (!) bus from the green to manchester airport. One thing I do know is that transportation between Dartmouth and \airports isn’t that easy. Shortest airport=Manchester 1.5 hours away=(...the bus ride is indeed longer than my trip home.

Happy Thanksgiving:)
