Hello there! The wonderful week of Senior Exhibitions approaches once again! For those who don’t know, a Sr. Ex is a specific topic that each Senior chooses at the beginning of Senior year to research over the course of the school year. At the end of the year, the Senior presents their work to the […]
The time when all the prospective students come by Thacher to see if it is the right choice for them or not. I did not take a “second visit”, as these are called, since I live in Hong Kong. But from what I have seen, these visits were instrumental in deciding whether to come to […]
Wow! It’s been a while. First thing to talk about would definitely be the success of the winter musical, a performance of Monty Python’s Spamalot. This was actually my first time in a major role and I definitely had a blast playing “The dashingly handsome Sir Galahad”. Managing to crank out a massive show in […]
Hello again, dear friends!! Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. Mainly, musical, independents, and 2013! I trust that everyone had a relaxing holiday, and managed to get away for some fun! Personally, I hit up some of the ski resorts on the west side of Lake Tahoe, and had a great time. […]
Wow! I can’t believe that fall is almost over!! Looking back, I wonder exactly what I was doing. FIrst, the cross country team had its last league meet several weeks back at Cate School. As expected, we won the league, and I got a personal record of 20:10. I actually ran that race faster than […]
It is true what they say about Junior year. Teachers give lots of work, and every night as a Junior I have to manage my time to get it all done. Granted, that’s not an unreasonable request. As a Junior, one is simply expected to take harder classes and become more involved in the Thacher […]
Wow! A lot has been going on, including the first Condor League Cross Country race (right here at Thacher), the first Coffee House of the year, and a personal flashback to the Spring EDTs of the previous year. Last Wednesday, the cross-country team had its first meet, with 7 other schools joining us in the […]
It’s the start of another school year! Summer went by incredibly quickly, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it’s junior year (aka, OMG-I-Have-a-ridiculous-amount-of-work year). Okay. It’s really not that bad. Granted, it’s certainly challenging, and I’m definitely going to have to step it up in terms of academics. It […]
Whoa! It’s almost the end of the school year! Who knew that time would fly by so fast!!! We’ve had a few things going on. Baseball season is in full swing, and we’ve been playing hard. Granted, we don’t have the best record on paper but we’re all having fun, and hoping to get to […]
Things are going full blast here at Thacher. I’ve already had a performance at Cal Poly with the Chamber Singers (did I mention that I’m a member of the Chamber Singers yet? Oops!) and am setting up for one near Disneyland this weekend. Academically, the teachers continue to keep us challenged, but are helpful making […]
