The Final Countdown

Dearest reader, to fully understand what a Thacher student feels like going into the last trimester of his junior year, one must undoubtedly have either a great understanding of the Europe song, “The Final Countdown,” or must have it playing on speakers near you (don’t worry, I’ve supplied the link at the bottom).

Spring Break! Wait …

The end of the term is coming up really soon, and spring break starts in a few days. I am definitely looking forward to spring break. Enjoying two weeks off from any schoolwork and resting my recovering hip are definitely on my priority list. But, even though I’m excited for break, the winter term is more »

Happy to be back!

“I missed you” rings through the dorm as more and more girls return from winter break. While it is always fantastic, to see family, sleep-in, and eat home cooked meals, it’s equally fantastic to return to school after breaks.

Last Leg

The thought of Thanksgiving break is all that is pulling me through this crazy week. The week before break has traditionally been the week where all the teachers lay their final assignments on you; History presentations, Math, Environmental science, Chinese, and Biology tests, English essays, and on top of that, a new season of sports. more »

Looking Forward

It seems like only days ago I was packing up my Casa room, hugging everyone goodbye, and boarding my plane–and yet here it is the end of summer. I remember this time last year vividly, I was so excited, terrified, but counting the days till Thacher started. This year I’m counting the days till school more »

Fam/Friends

This summer I’ve spent a good amount of time with my family in Marysville. I have been able to kick back with all my sisters and brothers and have some summer fun. This includes chasing after ice cream trucks during the day, barbecuing at the park, or staying up late to play Charades and Twister. In July I was more »
