phentermine without a prescription - Do you ship phentermine


Location

Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs , NY Arguably one of the most vibrant and dynamic small cities in the USA. It has a real healthy upscale downtown and is a world class Summer destination.

The Dorms

The girls' dorms, Howe-Rounds, are air conditioned***, but the guys' dorms, Wilmarth, are not. Some boys live on the third floor of Howe-Rounds. Each room is built for either one or two people.

REMEMBER: Wilmarth, where most guys sleep, overheats tremendously. Bring a fan. For howe-rounds, bring a heavy wool blanket, as the thermostats are broken if they are installed at all, and it can get cold.

The Food

Students eat in the Murray Dining Hall, while the Aikans Dining Hall , where the weekly dance is held, is where campers attending other programs eat. If you can sneak into Aikens Hall at any meal, you can bypass the 5-10 minute lines that tend to form. This is frowned upon, however.

Pizza, pasta and salad are served everyday along with many other food items, ranging from chicken parmesan to chinese food, which are different at each meal. Cereal, pancakes are waffles are served for breakfast. Coffee, flavored or unflavored water, soymilk, gatorade and many types of soda are available at every meal. The desserts, including chocolate cake and lemon mousse, change day to day, but ice cream is always available. Specially made Kosher and Vegetarian meals are also available.


Please Note: 2006- Unfortunately, this year the dining hall and quad are under going major renovations so the students have meals in the Case Center where you register. Also, The the waffle iron and soft serve machine are not functioning.

The Days

  • Second Monday- Naughty Catholic School Girl Day
  • Second Tuesday- Love Tape Day
  • Second Wednesday- Crossdressing Day
  • Third Monday (or Second Friday)- Pajama Day
  • July 1st (session 1)/August 1st (session 2)- Slap Your Own Ass Day (Appreciate Your Own Donkey Day)
  • July 2nd (session 1)/August 2nd (session 2)- Slap Someone Else's Ass Day (Appreciate Someone Else's Donkey Day)


New additions to "The Days" are:

  • Goth/Emo Day- Last Tuesday (Dress like a goth or emo)
  • End of the World Day- Last Thursday (You wear a towel- based on Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy)
  • Rina Day- (Bex Only Allowed or any "Keane" replacements)
  • Pirate/Andrew Yu Day- Last Thursday (alongside End of the World Day, wear a bandana like a pirate)

It's unclear whether or not these days will survive, but Bex (edit: thanks, my bad.) participated so they will probably stick.

Note: The new additions appear to be Session 1 only

The Squirrels

The squirrels on Saratoga campus tend to hang out on the patio, where they can often be seen dragging their twisted, wretched little bodies across the ground with their legs splayed out in a disturbing parody of an army crawl. They have been known to bite people going into the Green Mountain Coffee Shop. Yup, the squirrels. They're rabid and violent. They dont walk. They lie on their furry little stomachs and DRAG themselves around. They're known to lunge at visitors and steals and then EAT their cigs. Don't feed, look at, attempt to chase them, or talk to them.

Traditions

Nevermore Steals, Mandatory Fun, "How long does it take to get to the top of Jonsson Tower?" , Clapping when someone breaks a plate in the dining hall, Laser Tag, Nevermore Shirts, Nevermore Trays, Casino night/ Lipsync night, Talent show, Snap your fingers while walking across the quad and say to everyone you pass "There's gonna be a rumble tonight", Random Acts of Sensless Kindness (RASK), Lanyard Swinging, Duct Tape, Monty Python, Frisbee, Sunrise, Passionfruit, Illegal Sleepovers, Love Tape, Varsity Catch (you're the worst!!), Dark Side of Oz, Jon Good loves you, Marriage Booth, Rinas and Rhinos, "I like you, I love you, I CTY you" Good night, go home, nobody loves you!

Canon Songs


New addition '06- I'll Make a Man Out of You. Is considered to be the only song that is High Holy Canon AND an Afterdance. Applies to Session 1 only.

New addition '06- Let it Be. However, instead of singing "let it be", you sing "synergy", in honor of Bill. (This song is under heavy debate whether or not this will be a canon. While it is a great song, Site Director Bill had only been present at CTY for less than 2 weeks. It is unkown at the moment whether or not this canon will continue.
