The last trimester of the year is a bitter-sweet time. Seniors are choosing colleges and senior exhibition weekend is coming up, however, we all feel a bit melancholy as graduation approaches. However, as this great year is beginning to dwindle, I continue to find myself faced with new challenges. The most obvious new challenge is […]
Back at Thacher for the last time. It is incredible to think that this is my last trimester at Thacher. I have a packed schedule with barely enough time to have lunch almost everyday. But it’s exciting to think of what’s to come: Senior Ex Weekend, Gymkhana, Spring Camping, and finally Graduation. I can’t wait […]
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 […]
Junior year has been a blur so far. With the big increase in both work and independence, my days have been longer and more meaningful than ever before. And while the days have been long, the weeks seem to fly by! I can’t believe I have been in classes for a whole month. So far, […]

It’s that wonderful time of year! The final weeks of the trimester are here and it is time to buckle down. We all have papers and oral reports, projects and finals in these next days. Although they can be stressful, it is an amazing feeling when you finish your paper, project, report, or whatever else […]
Tonight I’m sitting in my room staring at my computer screen, trying to write an essay on economic expansion during the end of the 19th century. So far I have my thesis: “The forces of unrestrained capitalism allowed for a small number of powerful interest groups to have an inordinate amount of power and that […]
These two and a half weeks of school wedged between Thanksgiving break and Winter break have been a whirlwind. With the new semester, we freshmen have started a new class: European History. I’ve never taken European History before and I’m learning so much new information. Recently, we’ve been writing an essay on Renaissance art and […]
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.
