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.
Spring Break has been amazing so far. Being in the quarter system means I have a longer break than the rest of my friends. In some ways the long break is good but in other times like now when all my friends are going back to school its not as fun. However, I have TONS of friends from Dartmouth that live in my area (if you can go to the Dartmouth meet ups for your area its a great way to meet new people) so going out and having fun isnt a problem. I also just found out that im going on the LSA to Cholula, Mexico next spring!! I am SO excited, my roommate is going to Italy the same term shes even more excited than me!:) The best thing about being home is all I have to do is walk downstairs in my home to get food, not hike all the way to foco! I miss my roommates/floormates though they're amazing. Well thats it, back to looking for Internships for this summer (wish me luck!). If you are watching the March Madness root for Ivy Leagues own Cornell!!
I'm looking forward to this spring break especially because I get my response back from Off Campus Programs saying if I get to go to Mexico or Spain NEXT year. My friends back home are insanely jealous about the amount of study abroad opportunities available at Dartmouth. Truthfully the main reason I chose to attend Dartmouth is because of the study abroad opportunities the D plan unique from any other schools scheduling system makes it extremely easy to study abroad and receive the distributive you need. Over 50% of the student body studies abroad and if that doesn't mean anything to you click the link :)
Here is a first hand account from a Dartmouth'10 in Spain.
Here is another example of a Dartmouth'10 speaking with her homestay family.
I'm sitting in the Practice Room with the Alto Ones in The Dartmouth Gospel Choir. If you dont know by now the Gospel Choir is AMAZING. Two years ago the Gospel Choir conductor Walt Cunningham started Dartmouth Idol as a great singing competition. So now in the Gospel Choir I get to sing backup for the awesome contestants in the Idol competition. So here I am waiting for my cue to go on. This is going to be awesome :)
Have you seen "The Day After Tomorrow"? The Science Fiction film about Dennis Quaid trying to save the world from global warming? Well I have, and the similarities between the movie and the natural disasters occurring in the world today is, well...creepy. Every week my mom calls and the asks "Honey hows the weather?". Surprisingly the -28 degrees the NorthFace Store guy in town predicted (while I was buying my jacket) was not correct. Unlike Maryland/Washington DC we didn't have a snow storm in good 'ol supposed to be freezing New Hampshire. Actually I haven't seen the ground covered in snow for longer than two days in about two weeks. My parents went crazy buying wool socks, boots, cute little scarf and hat sets for the Negative degree weather of Hanover. However two of my classmates arrived to class in shorts yesterday. So would I tell someone to worry about the weather at Dartmouth...not at all. I admit it does get cold but trust me the weather is not a problem, having no snow in New England while your friends in Texas have a snow day...Is indeed the problem lol :).
