Announcements

The wheels of the car go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels of the car start in Virginia, pass through West Virginia, Indiana, Kansas, and all the other important/relevant states. As the wheels spin, the little smiling faces behind the windows peer out at the hypnotic monotony of Kansas, or the winter wonderlands of Colorado. …

It was the week before MOAB, and all the children were excited. The cars were oiled and the sleeping bags rolled. The dust of school was just beginning to school, and the dust of the dunes was starting to rise. Poetic, right? Pietro “please Parker don’t shoot me” Ciliberto IMPORTANT GEAR NOTE The gear room is open, but many items …

Heellllllooooo Snow Gremlins, Much has been done, little has been tangibly accomplished in this snow. Felt like I walked a million miles but really didn’t. Felt like I was sledding at 18 m/s but was probably more like 2 m/s. Snow is mega lit though. (AND APPARENTLY WE’RE GETTING MORE??) Scroll down to see the delightful things these announcements have …

This is a little bit of a slow week, but allow me to tell you a story. I was walking in the woods, and I suddenly felt the ground wriggling and writhing beneath me. In a fit of fear I jumped back, clutching my pearls and crying for divine intervention. As I dragged myself backwards, eyes glued to the ground, …

HOWDY FRIENDS I hope you are all shredding away and planning your winter break shredding. The semester may be nearing a close but the shredding never dies. Yuh. Anyways I fear I will get straight to business today because time is a commodity in these dire hours. I do want to quickly say that the football game watching was super …

I’ve been playing this game with myself where I wake up extremely cold and shivering. I lay there for a sec and contemplate going back to sleep, but then I adopt my Siberian alter ego, Ivan.  Ivan gets out of bed, this cold is but a tickle to him. He wonders: where are my potatoes? what to have for breakfast? …

The weather outside is frightful, but inside is boring. (thought I was gonna tell you guys to go inside, huh? NEVER). So don your coats and put on your gloves because bla bla bla I can’t write songs to save my life. In short: go outside kids.  Speaking of the outside…. There were two back[acking trips this weekend! Love to …

Yeesh man. Yeesh yeesh yeesh. It’s getting cold out. I was biking to class earlier and it felt like I was going through the Millenium Falcon’s air-speed-tunnel-thingy. Except it wasn’t speed but just really really cold air. Perhaps I strap a see through umbrella to the handlebars as I bike through the cold to block all the cold air. (Ahah …

WOW WOW WOW   What a Halloween party. That was lit. Props to our PBR chair Charlotte “Mr. Flippers” Maxwell. Well done. There were human-esque grapes (yummmy). There was a literal rabbit (wishing I’d fed him some of the carrots in my fridge). There was Joan of Arc and Sue Sylvester. There was Hoodwinked, of course. There was a monkey …

Knock knock Oh, who’s there? A visitor perchance? No. The weekly email. Lock in. Social things! 1) This Thursday we’ll have a Trees and Sprouts bonfire! It’s pretty much in the name, but, essentially it’s just more avenue to meet your trees/sprouts and be watered/do the watering. Also, if you haven’t yet, make sure to get in touch with each …

AAAAA NOOOOOOOO IM BAAACK Ok there is so much to update you Trees and Sprouts! This ODC’s version of Big and Little, except so much better because instead you are a little sprout. And your tree will give you shade and water you and advise you through the treacherous perils of growing old in this world. And then one day …

HELLLLLLOOO ODC I’ve been waiting a long time for this. One hundred and seventeen days, to be precise. Summer is over and now I get to frolick and explore and struggle away at my homework. [expetive]. But it’s ok because with the return of my [expletive] [expletive] homework MEANS ODC IS BACK BABBYYYYYY Ok so anyways. There are so many …

To all the fourth years. I love this club so much. It’s a club of bonfires, contemplative hikes, and ragers. It’s a club of community service and shredding. It’s a club of learning and teaching. It’s a club of firm handshakes and sustained eye contact. It’s a club of grins and of laughs and of the silly little things that …
