I got back home from Oberlin yesterday night--feeling enormously guilty at the pile of evidence (the fruits of my procrastination) sitting on my desk. Woe is me. Oberlin was what I expected, small, cold, windy, but cheery and friendly at the same time. I went bowling at 12:00 a.m., sat and watched the magnificent opera, "Hansel and Gretel," put on by the "Obies." A couple interesting points from my visit:
1.) A fellow Oberlin Prospective Scholar (affectionately dubbed "prospies" at Oberlin--they have a strange relationship with the suffix -ie) named Kantara knows you, Alex Y! I told her again and again to say hi to you, I hope she has.
2.) After meeting Kantara, I decided to ask everyone if they knew people in their respective cities: Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Chicago, Omaha, Boston, etcetc...So, now all of you are famous at Oberlin, at least by name, due to my incessant chatter.
I promised to talk about the Hemingway, but duty calls. I'll talk about Hemingway tomorrow.
Good Luck, Deep Springs applicants! Who are all of you, by the way, and what distinguishes Deep Springs?
