My sophomore fall has been pretty pleasant so far; despite taking five classes, I find that I have much more time on my hands than last year. There’s just some sort of intrinsic knowledge that comes with having a year under your belt. I’m enjoying classes much more than before, as more of my work is specific for my major. I still managed to fit in a French literature class and a creative writing class for balance and really enjoy the two (my creative writing professor was in the movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise; if you’ve seen it, he and his identical twin brother—also a poet—played the precog twins). In addition to being a campus tour guide, I’m also now in the women’s

mentorship program, which I’ve found really rewarding. Long story short, I stood up in one of my engineering classes a few weeks ago, looked around, and realized I didn’t see any girls in sight (of the 45 people in my major—mechanical and aerospace—only nine of us are girls, and that’s considered an extremely high number). I never was as aware of my gender until I was in a class with as many boys as there were; I joke to myself that it’s a bit like a locker room. Outside of the boys’ club, the trees on the leaves remind me of Suffield everyday. Two of my roommates, who are from California, still haven’t grown accustomed to seasons and are in awe of foliage. I, on the other hand, take every moment possible to remind people my high school’s trees were, in fact, much more stellar. The best part is that one of the new freshmen, Audrey Dufresne ’18, is an old friend of mine from my fencing club, so she keeps me posted now and again on Suffield (usually after I prod her to do so). The nostalgia is real! I already feel old and wistful. VICTORIA KIARSIS I’m doing well and living in a great apartment in Brookline while working at Ralph Lauren and taking four courses. I’m busy but I like being busy. My idle time is spent watching Breaking Bad or cleaning the apartment. Hope everyone is doing well from the Class of 2013.

I have enjoyed my time writing for the school newspaper and wrestling with the varsity team, both of which SA prepared me for. I’m looking forward to returning to Suffield to watch the Tigers this wrestling season. Good luck to all student athletes! CHARLOTTE HINRICHS I joined the club lacrosse team and start most games. We play schools such as Duke, Wake Forest, High Point, and UNC. RJ Currey and I have lunch together at least once a week. It’s nice to have a little bit of familiarity here when we are both so far from home.
