The Quasars of the Quagmire of
Quad
I must warn you before you go on: our Mertz-ful quad is quite mad.
Not 'mad', you see, but MAD:
"We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm
mad?" asked Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat. "Or you wouldn't have
come here."
-Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- Want to know how mad we are? Just look at these 'quad quoteables.'
- April 27th,1997 was my 20th birthday. Want to hear what the quad
pulled on
me? It's a funny story - I promise!
The actual, official quaddies consist of:
- DIANA, my
sophomore roommate, who loves to torture me by taking out her periodic
table mug
and waving it in my face, even though she well knows that I have a chronic
allergy for anything to do with science. She's incredibly addicted to Star
Wars and has become a chemistry major
here
at Swarthmore.
- AMANDA is our sweet resident WA and Religion major,
plus the only Easter Bunny we know
of with a long french braid. Amanda
doesn't sleep - she takes naps; her hard-working initiative is an
inspiration to the rest of us, though we rarely follow her lead. She's
known to drop what she's doing and dance on the spot, occasionally
grabbing someone's
hands and making them twirl along with her. This can be especially
frightening,
especially when you're in a bad mood and want to STAY in a bad mood, but
her exhiliration is too darn INFECTIOUS to do so!
- AUDREY is numero cuatro in our little quad. Our
resident music
major, she loves music, loves to dance (Scottish). She also loves the
three
'Ls':
long skirts, linguistics,
and, of
course, Lang!
- SUSAN! If you
want to get right down to the nitpicky stuff, our quad
is
really a quad and a quarter, with Susan (Diana's evil
twin...or
is it the other way around?)
as, the way
she so aptly puts it, "the extra (do)nut." She also has quite a bit to say
about our little quagmire of quad,
in case you're
curious. Susan spends more time in here than in her own room
(sleeping aside) but us resident quaddies consider her one of our
own. I can safely say that the place DEFINITELY wouldn't be the same
without her.
