Beginnings

I could have been a five-year freak; sadly, the first two sessions of these potential five, I lost due to ignorance of the CTY summer program.

My squirrel year was 08.2 at the surprisingly late age of 14 (amazing, I know), yet this was so only because I had found out about the summer program in eighth grade and only decided to finally go during ninth grade, regardless of the fact that I had been a member of CTY since fourth grade. If this hadn't been the unfortunate turn of events, then trust me, you would have seen me walling out all five magical sessions of CTY I could have attended. Yes, the world is a cruel, cruel place, but I will live out my remaining sessions (09.2, 10.2) to their full potential.

I ended up at Lancaster due to chance, I suppose. When I was signing up for my first session, I had no knowledge about the sites, really, and thus had no preference. I applied relatively late, and the only site and session at which I could attend Astronomy (my first choice) was Lancaster during Session 2. To make up for depriving me of my first two potential sessions, Fate was kind enough to put me in ASTR.LAN.08.2. The rest, to me, is history. I highly doubt I will ever become a flying squirrel of any sort; Lancaster is certainly home now.

The Pink Duct Tape Carnation

Strangely enough, I met some of my best friends at CTY, again, absolutely by chance. In fact, I owe a great deal to Max Wang. I was sitting on the quad, and in my boredom, had acquired very nice, very rippable, silver duct tape from a slightly unwilling hallmate. I proceeded to make a rose out of it, but then suddenly, Max, whose name I had only heard and face I had never seen, ran up to me, and blurted, "Is that a carnation you're making?!" After my somewhat confused expression and explanation that what I was making could in fact pass as a carnation, and after replying in the affirmative to his request to make him one in pink, I was dragged off by the wrist into and through the dining hall on a crusade of two, questing for pink, white, and green duct tape to craft for him a pink carnation of the finest material one can utilize. On this crusade, I inevitably met many an important and amazing CTYer and/or Alcovian, some of which I became good friends with and many of which I shocked due to the discrepancy between my age and appearance. Luckily, I hope this will work in my favor as, since I will see two more sessions than the majority of them, I will be able to continue their hysterical, memorable, and impressive legacies.

Strictly concerning the pink duct tape carnation(s) I crafted in 08.2, I only made two and only gave them to nomores, these nomores being Max Wang and Ben Boult, although I'm planning to make more come 09.2. So if you want one, or if you want ANYTHING made out of duct tape, let me know, but bring me duct tape. Lots.
