Bears: Trounced, Paradise: Attained

If gorgeous wilderness wasn't enough to get the academic year moving on a high note, Reed itself has pulled out all the stops to insure that we, as new students, are made to feel, not only welcome, but completely infatuated with our new home.

In the space of an afternoon I have been...

...ambushed and spontaneously taught by 40 jugglers, left to spend as much time as I see fit in a cavernous, couch-filled goldmine containing every graphic novel I've wanted to read for the last six years, shoved into the no-man's-land space created between three simultaneous dance parties (all with separate pounding stereos playing different music, mind you) and told to dance, involved in a physics-based discussion about pie warfare with more that ten people at the same time, and passed by a swooping group of what can only be described as Viking marauders -- on bicycles -- wielding LARP-based foam weaponry.

However, the more I hear from returning students, the more I am astonished and thrilled to hear that this is nothing out of the ordinary.

To clarify: this happens all year long.

In short: I am here, and very, very happy about it.
