<p>These pics don't do justice to caltech. The campus has beautiful landscaing and fountains and ponds & bridges. One smells the orange trees as you walk to classes.</p>
<p>Actually, one smells the faint medicinal scent of the caffeine pills one was snorting to stay awake as one finished one's homework.</p>
<p>Can you tell it's finals week?</p>
<p>:-P</p>
<p>Hold your horses, it's not finals week yet. I still have 2 sets due!</p>
<p>Truly spoken.</p>
<p>Ben's right. Actually, this is the week before finals so there are tons of sets due right now. During finals week, you actually get tons of sleep (hopefully).</p>
<p>ok bookworm, here's what Caltech is like:

<p>Thanks. Is that how they chose the school color?</p>
<p>I actually just got done visiting caltech and have lots of pics for when I get home. I am planning to make like a "picture diary" of Caltech / LA , Stanford / SF, and the long road in between. </p>
<p>I absolutely loved Caltech. (I am visiting Stanford tomorrow). I got to meet Ben (and got pics) and Ben also hooked me up with dinner at Blacker house! It was insane (I have pics of a guy getting his head shaved so he wouldn't get water poured on him). I also got to throw rolls and learned how to throw saltine crackers like throwing stars, and got to drink the Blacker house drink (called green!). Oh, and I was introduced as some guy's buddy from 'nam. Ok I have so much more to say about how awesome caltech is but I will save it for the "picture journal"</p>
<p>Thanks Ben!!!</p>
<p>Oh, I remember you. I was sitting at the same table as the guy throwing rolls at you. Hope you had fun!</p>
<p>The guy shaving his head was doing it for the hell of it, not to avoid getting water dumped on him. I don't know why he was doing it after dinner. </p>
<p>I don't think that green is a Blacker-specific drink, since I'm pretty sure people in other houses drink it too.</p>
<p>Edit: You should have asked for a tunnel tour :)</p>
<p>In Fleming, I have never consumed green. We consume only red.</p>

<p>Glad you enjoyed yourself, lizzardfire : )</p>
