Midnight at Yale: Day 3
Isn’t writing about construction at Yale sort of the journalistic equivalent of talking about the weather?
Secret Societies, Gossip Girl Style
The secret society that Blair gets invited to in tonight’s episode of Gossip Girl seemed pretty lame at first—who taps freshman? who has to buy artwork for society?
The Movement for Beauty and Justice at Yale
Because IvyGate did a surprisingly good job of covering the Movement’s most salient points, I’ll just respond from the ground here at “base camp.”
This Weekend at Criterion Cinemas

Payne Whitney Gym is now eco-friendly
I haven’t been working out because I lost the cord to charge my iPod (and there’s obviously no way I could just replace the cord), but I woke up this morning bright and early and eager to try to sweat out this cold (unfortunately not H1N1!) that’s been plaguing me. And lo and behold, when [...]

Major English Problems
My extensive research has shown that there are two types of English majors at Yale. I took Vikings! to fulfill the pre-1800 requirement (I think the exclamation was actually in the course title, or at the very least was on the first slide of every powerpoint presentation. We also learned a lot about polar bears). [...]
Comeback Kid
When googling “Mischa” “Barton” “Yale”, you learn from what I hope (for her sake) is not her official site that she has dreams of attending the Yale School of Drama! I mention this only because she has relatively nothing to do with our fine university, and, if that little nugget is in any way based [...]

Preparing for H1N1
All you need is a fever, or flu- like symptoms, and you’re gold. You don’t even have to walk all the way to DUH to prove it—they don’t even want you to come, just in case you infect everyone else.
