Like many other people, and mammals too I suppose, I’m attracted to bright colors. Consequently, while visiting colleges, I often found myself gravitating towards bulletin boards that had been plastered in various highlighter tones.

My younger brother is 16 years old. We’re great friends and we have a lot of fun together. Although he still hasn’t accepted my friend request on Facebook, we’re pretty open with each other. But there’s something that he doesn’t know… I have three other siblings at Yale.
Let me explain.

Some of you may have read my previous blog on the DJ midterm I was preparing for as part of Music 395: Composition and Performance of Music, Multimedia Art and Technology taught by Prof. Kathryn Alexander.

Just before Spring Break, all of us in class had the chance to perform our electronic music sets live to the class. The performance put to test our skills in clip launching, sequencing and live effects that we had been learning throughout the semester.

One of my favorite classes this semester is called Survey of Theater & Drama. The class tracks the development of theater from ancient religious rituals to theater in the 21st Century. As part of the class, we are studying the origins of the American musical. One of the musicals that we are looking at is George Gershwin, DuBose Heyward, and Ira Gershwin’s 1935 musical Porgy and Bess.

Before coming to Yale, I had never attended an ice hockey game in my life. I was familiar enough with the sport to know the basics–my dad would occasionally watch games and invite me to watch with him–but I never understood the allure of the sport. Growing up, hockey culture was big. I am one generation removed from the Team USA’s “Miracle on Ice,” and I grew up in the era of the Florida Panthers’ “rat trick” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnHpaVW53SM).

In the midst of a chaotic midterm season, I found myself seated in an elaborately decorated room with a classmate. But rather than stressing over looming deadlines and late night study sessions, we found ourselves enchanted by scents of the apartment. We didn’t spend that night cramming for quizzes. Instead, we discussed the Spring Revolution with our professor, the former Egyptian ambassador, over a home cooked Egyptian meal. It was then that I truly realized what the vague phrase “undergraduate focus” really meant.

I have a confession. I never exercise. Team sports were never my thing. After about ten minutes on a treadmill, I’ve reached my running quota for the week. I used to dance, but a knee injury ended that, along with my promising dream of being a professional snowboarder.
Literally, the only sort of aerobic activity I’ve done regularly in the past two years has been walking up Science Hill for class. I’ve even managed to avoid that by taking the Yale shuttle (or, more realistically, not waking up in time for lecture).

After much anticipation, winter has finally coated New Haven with a layer of fluff! So here’s your snow report: the Elm City has never been more beautiful. The Freshman Class Council had a midnight snowball fight on Old Campus, students were out and about in the snow, and the morale is high heading into second semester. We’re glad to be walkin’ in a winter wonderland!

Friends, I have a confession. For those readers who have kept up with my blog over the past year and a half, you may have noticed a trend. Somehow, one way or another, I always end up talking about at least one of Yale’s libraries.
