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.

Life Abroad


The past two weeks have been amazing. Its crazy how close the people on your LSA become your family. I just returned back from an awesome two week vacation in Madrid, Toledo, and one of the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura). The vacation was needed, it doesn't hit you how overwhelming being in a foreign country is until you actually arrive. Its more overwhelming when your not fluent in the language everyone speaks...especially in Barcelona when the metro stops, street signs, even the menu in the local pizza shop is in Catalan (totally different than Spanish..trust me). So taking a trip to the islands with my friends and basking in 70 degree weather in February was MORE than amazing and an experience few can compare to. I admit being off the coast of Africa and seeing the volcanic rocks, camels on the beaches (YES CAMELS), and British Elvis impersonators were a little intimidating..especially when I expected something more "Miami-ish". Nevertheless I had a GREAT time and I'm so much closer to my friends and my fellow family on the LSA. Cant wait for more memories...


Stay Warm in the States :)
