Ah, Ditch Day.

I decided to do the Narnia stack by Jane and Sarah T this year. Sangeeta had suggested that her stack would be really awesome, but it looked like a bunch of frosh were interested (and frosh should have first dibs), so I passed it up (sorry Sangeeta :( but I did hear from Tina that it was supercool). I was also thinking about the Curse of Monkey Island, if only because Sam, Mick, Pat, Abby and Maryam were on it - I was strongly tempted to go with them just on account of the company (plus I know Merc was really excited about her stack). But I figured that all of them really wanted to do that stack... and there were more frosh milling around there as well. I have to say, I almost regret not going for that one, though - every time I saw them, it looked like they were having lots of fun. And the pirate IDs were pretty darn cool. ;)
So I ended up doing the Narnia stack. Pretty fun, actually - I was with Yussanne, Elaine, Andrea, Ewen, Sarah A, Greg, and Jian Yuan. Lots of walking around campus, a little role-playing from the books with alums (unfortunately, none of us had read them in years... now *that* was interesting. Occasionally it made for a laugh, like when I forgot one of Jill's lines in the Silver Chair when conversing with Prince Rilian, aka Ari. Afterwards: "You certainly made a better Jill than the one in the book - you didn't blurt out who you were looking for right away, like she did." "Er... honestly, I'd forgotten what she said" -laughter-), a trip to the Huntington Library and relaxing in Aslan's Country after decoding a message, then back to campus to finish the series with the Silver Chair and a climb up a rope ladder from the SAC courtyard. Ari gave a very convincing performance as the enchanted Prince Rilian - nearly all of us jumped when he went into his 'fit'. Anyway, in general a good time was had by all. I'd say it was about on par with Celeste's stack my freshman year. A couple problems, but nothing major, and it flowed pretty well. Good job, Jane and Sarah. :)

And now, we're seniors. Is that a scary thought to anyone else in my class? It sure scares me.

Ok, enough non-history writing. night all.
