oh-theirony:

I am going to Oberlin, the school of my dreams, in twoish weeks. There, I will:

• sit in on a “Native Languages of the Americas” class
• sit in on a REAL ETHNOMUSICOLOGY CLASS AOUHTEIUGSDG
• possibly hear the Soweto Gospel Choir, straight out of South Africa

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL I can hardly type I am shaking so much

Things you should also do:

• get a smoothie at Decafe, 
• take a walk through Tappan Square, 
• see an albino squirrel, 
• twirl around in a womb chair, 
• talk to as many students as possible, 
• ???, 
• profit!

Awesome! A couple of points:

1. I’m hugely envious; as far as I know there was no Native Languages of the Americas class when I first visited—or while I was in school. If there was, boy am I disappointed that I didn’t know about it.
2. Have fun! The first class I sat in on was an Ethnomusicology class, and it was the students as much as the professor and content who convinced me that Oberlin was the school for me.
3. Go to Oberlin. It’s the best college there is. :-)
