Team Quicksilver: Play with Us and We'll Make You Crazy

Camp Higher Ground was, ironically, at a relatively low elevation, but all that extra gravity just made it more enjoyable. Yes, the gravity and the people. We played Ultimate Frisbee, sang the fight song until we couldn't spell B-E-A-R-C-A-T anymore, ate toasted marshmallows, and proved to everyone that Team Quicksilver dominated in creative talents.

Team Quicksilver was the Alpha-Team of Nerd Camp. We won the fight song competition, we had the funniest skit, and we also pushed some kids down the stairs because we didn't like the cut of their jibs. We're kind of a big deal.

This is Drew and I, counterparts in the Team Quicksilver skit. I played Jocelyn's "inner calculus" and Drew played Jocelyn's "inner frat boy." You can imagine the chuckles as I answer his chants of "Toga, Toga, Toga, Toga..." with "Sigma, Sigma, Sigms, SUMS!" Drew really helped remind us that all we need is a tube and funnel. Max also pulled out the great AquaTeens, "You humans with your puny 3 dimensions... we have 5... thousand..." I would really like to acknowledge the whole team, but this is a blog, come on.





This is Jocelyn, my good friend from first floor Turner. Yea, that picture was taken in my suite area, but I met her at Nerd Camp. Jocelyn enjoys bruising easily and being "a man with breasts, a vagina, and a nice ass." Her room is the one you hang out in if you want poor cell phone reception, goldfish crackers, and cholera.



This is Jeremy, and he lives on the fifth floor. Go to his room if you want to watch three guys play Warcraft nonstop for several hours, or you can go there to get lied to about who knows what about computers. Those damn nerds tried to tell me they knew nothing about computers, but I knew the truth. I know they've only left the room to eat twice during Welcome Week.


Anna, on the far right, is my DAAP pal, and a fellow ENTJ. Basically, ENTJs are the most ridiculous people in the Honors Program. That's enough said. I stalk Anna and follow her to the Rec Center on a daily basis, where I proceed to exercise next to her while staring at her as she pretends not to notice. The other girls are her roommates from Daniels, Jenny, and the two Allisons.

Today is my first day of class. Let's see how it goes.
