"Is a haiku 5-7-5 or 7-5-7?" someone mused. "This haiku thing's going to kill me," another student muttered. Upon heading down into the basement of Newcomb Hall last Saturday, students were greeted with a few forms to fill out before the actual audition process began.
When Rebecca Elaine Brooks watches "Sex and the City," she does not identify with Carrie and the girls in their pursuit for "Mr. Right."

I'm taking this class on the history of Renaissance Italy. It's a cool class; I enjoy learning about the towers of Florence, factionalism in Northern Italy, Papal Rome, the Greeks (woohoo!) and Muslims in Southern Italy.
