I was perusing our Alma Mater’s website at work today (trying to stay awake during my after-lunch-I’m-feeling-drowsy-period) and came across Dickinson’s traditions page. I had totally forgotten about Mutant Mania and Dick-at-Nite.  I don’t remember ever going to Dick-at-Nite, but I remember making the posters.  (Anyone remember the infamous Thanksgiving Dinner poster I made for Joe the-RA-who-liked-to-cook?  That’s right the 7 foot tall 3-D stuffed turkey with gangly legs and fat stomach?  I totally still have it at home and bring it out on special Thanksgiving day occasions. lol.)  And remember the Semi-Formals?  God, they were so lame.  Though I suppose we had fun anyways…

Apparently they’re planning on tearing down Dickinson and rebuilding it in the “near future”.  I thought you would all be interested in hearing what the administration has to say on the topic:  

“Students, faculty and staff are working hard to ensure that the Dickinson Spirit will remain strong as we transition into new facilities. Community is created by people, not the physical space.” 

*snort*

Obviously.

I’ll have to revive the old “Dickinson:My New Home” site that I made the first year of college.  It was high quality (thus the reason it no longer exists…it was on the same level as The Water Garden).  But if they really are going to tear our dear old dorms down, we’ll need all the photo-memories we can get.

Luca and I are going to the Grand Cayman Islands after Easter with Uncle G and Aunty B from California, and  my Mom, Dad and brothers.  Can’t wait!  Anyone have plans for St. Patrick’s Day or Easter??
