An email all first years received...its pretty great

Dear lifelong learners with distinctive philosophies:

To the class of 2012 welcome back and to the class of 2013 welcome! The second
years are finishing up a summer of sun, fun, brain dumping, and traveling
while the first years are enduring orientation filled with bone boxes,
structural exams, (no these do not affect your GPA!) and free night-of-sleep
cards.... yeah, we're guessing you are starting to wonder what you signed up
for this year....


Have no fear! Disorientation 09' is ready to help you let loose, meet your
classmates, mingle our classes together, and have a great time! The following
events have been planned for your imbibing pleasure:


Friday August 7th---Basic life support: disclaimer: mouth to mouth is not
to be used in lieu of medical emergency. That being said come out with your
classmates and fufill some of your most basic needs: food and drink! Dana, Omar and Min have graciously offered their new house to kick off the start of the year.

BYOB, and come enjoy the fire pit around 8:00. A great way to meet your classmates and destress from orientation~!

ophthalmoscope is. No worries. Your second years are here to help. Since the
