Joke from Traditions told by one of my favorite seniors: "Two psychiatrists were walking down the street. One turns to the other and says, 'You're ok. How am I? ' "

Hope you get it.

The Golden Hour

So, as we previously mentioned, we’ve finally finished the mural -- a bittersweet ending. We won’t lie, it was not an easy project. It feels like we’ve spent a majority of our summer vacation at the school. We’ve had to spend a lot of money. We’ve been really tired. We’ve had to plan a lot (something that is definitely not our strong suit). On our final day, we started working at 1:00 and stayed until 12:30 in the morning trying to finish. And we haven’t even cleaned up yet, which will be a process in and of itself. But it’s there, isn’t it? It stands tall, it doesn’t look half bad, and we’ve had a real adventure doing it. We learned how to brew tea in the English office. We finally had our picnic. We tried to watch the sunset a bunch of times and just happened to miss it each time. We saw KR. We met Gustav. We even bumped into Ryan and his dog Luther on our last day. And when we finished yesterday, it really didn’t feel like the end. This process - going to an empty school, painting ...

The Mail and the Mailman

Hello again, This post was actually written quite a while ago, but we couldn't find the time to publish it. We figured it's still a nice memory to save on our blog, but please imagine that it's a cold yet sunny New England morning on November 3rd while reading this.

November 3rd: We just turned in our college apps and decided that today would be a fun day. Unfortunately, we actually got a lot of schoolwork assigned so we could not make it as fun as we had originally planned.  Like most others, the day began with a chore: we had to go to the gallery and take down all of the October artwork to make room for the new exhibit which will be hung up in November. After those exciting fifteen minutes, we were going to go explore the graveyard near my house. We’ve been planning to go for a long time (thi...

Tant Pis

Hello again. Every day we’re making progress on the mural, and by now we’re approximately a half of the way done-ish. Yesterday, Ms. Snow emailed us about the mural, which she recently saw, and was very posh and very British about it: “ The blue/ red skyline has translated most felicitously from your sketch to the wall, and the white childish figures are full of motion.” She also told us “Tant Pis” about the fact that we paid the sales tax on the 200$ worth of mural supplies even though the school should technically be exempt. Yana didn't realize that Tant Pis were actual words, even though Amelia tried to tell her exactly what it meant → that is regrettable, too bad. Classic miscommunication. Anyways, here’s a few more crucial updates on mural/ life progress.  1. Stars make everything better. The top half of our mural is supposed to be a galaxy (or at least galaxy inspired), which took us a little too long to figure out how to actually make. The final technique we settled on: A s...
