Sparknoting the Basics

Hey everyone! My name is Emily, and I'm from Maine. So I live in an igloo and can ride a moose.

Okay, not really. But you would be surprised at the number of people that actually believe that. It's pretty fantastic.

More seriously, though, BC is only two and a half hours or so from my home, so I can see my family pretty frequently. Or not. It's really up to me. And a very major plus side is that BC is actually consistently ten degrees warmer than home!

I'm a Math major with a French minor in the class of 2010. My current residence is Edmond's Hall down on lower campus, though I was on Upper my freshman year. Edmond's is pretty fantastic for me since it has kitchens, which allows me to bake excessive amounts. It definitely is a great de-stresser for me, and I guess for my friends who benefit from the brownies and cookies and cupcakes generated by my roommate and yours truly.

I'm involved in the Dance Organization of BC- I choreographed a number for our February show last year, and performed in it both freshman and sophomore years. This year I'll be teaching some studio classes, since I'm preparing to go abroad in January (London! I'm so excited). I've done some theater shows and I also joined a group last semester called "The CCE" ("The Committee for Creative Enactments," we've been calling it "The Committee" as of late. We do murder mystery shows- sort've like the movie Clue, only student written- and improv comedy). I also volunteer with the Student Admissions Program. I like to play Frisbee in the middle of the night, find swing sets and act like I’m five years old again, and go on random “field trips” with my friends (which often result in burritos or ice cream).

So that's the very brief version of my life at Boston College thus far! Now it's time for bed since I have to get up in ummm... far too short a time, at any rate.
