This was a Study Weekend!
This weekend has been weird because pledge-ship ended. Usually I have a set place to go and specific thing I need to get done, but now I am on my own, and it is weird. On Friday afternoon my Modern Linguistics class met in Hays Hall, which is the science building on campus, because a student sustained an injury and needed a building with an elevator, which is something Center Hall does not. Unfortunately for us, he didn't show up for class. Friday night I decided to stay in, rest my knee, and watch some T.V. From about 11am on Saturday to around 5pm, I did school work. Everything from typing a paper, preparing for a legal argument, and studying for German was what I worked on. After working on my schoolwork, I headed over to the completely empty Allen Center where I went to run on the indoor track. This was the first time that I ran on my left knee since dislocating my kneecap on
Wednesday night. I apologize for sounding so repetitive, but on Sunday I did the same. I studied for a good portion of the day and then took a few breaks here and there to do laundry and eat. Now that I am in college, I find that I am becoming incredibly good at throwing food together to create a tasty meal. Here is the picture: eggs, chicken, wheat bread, and taco sauce. The combination of all these three together tasted kind of funny but it got the job done! Sunday night, a few of my pledge-brothers rearranged the cold dorm and gave it more of a lively appeal to it. However, I do not like the location of my bed because now I'm sandwiched between a wall and a poll. I am happy, my pledge-brothers are happy, everyone is happy. Here is a picture of one of my pledge-brothers Brady Hagerty), who is very excited about his new bed position. The count down is on, two more weeks, then winter break!

I was wondering about what you mean by a "cold dorm" in your fraternity? Are the windows open all of the time (and no heat?) when you are a pledge with your fraternity?
Do all fraternities do this (as a living unit of pledges) in the fraternity houses at Wabash? Do any fraternities at Wabash not do a "cold dorm" for their pledges, and
what is the point? You pay good money (for room/board)
to live in a comfortable room (warm and snuggly), so
what's the reasoning behind "cold"? Thanks for your insights, and good luck on your final exams! We live in a house here in Cincinnati where a member of Beta
Theta Pi (Alpha Chapter) lived before we moved here in 1986. The man's name (Mr. Yanney) was also the Class President (Class of 1933) of Miami University. I think that Miami (of Ohio) would be too big for me (freshman class is over 3,600 students) compared to the freshman class at Wabash. Why did you choose Wabash over any other college/university? Don't rush in getting back with your answers! Get some sleep when/if you need some!
