Voicemail greetings

December 29, 2008

Homecoming weekend has by far been one of the more interesting and funner weekends I have spent here at Dartmouth so far. We kicked off Homecoming weekend with a ton of EBAs pizza (which I am now an absolute fan of UPDATE: after two years in college, this crap is absolute poison and a drug. [...]
