the bridge experience basically, 19 freshman show up early and start their first humanities class early. there's more to it of course; things like workshops in math, physux, chem, etc. why show up early to do work? to finish early when it counts of course. our hum class ended at fall break, which was, as debbie might put it, "schweeeet." and the trip to magic mountain didn't hurt. it kinda started out like the real world... you have a dorm
getting along wasn't so hard tho, and we're still friends (beware the
bridge mafia). the first day would remind almost anyone of six grade
camp or something similar. we played the name game, which cam is
very good at by now. once the awkwardness subsided, you could find
random bridge people hanging out in AC (academic computing) playing with
sheep.exe or in Linde lounge listening to seema retell the story of the
two williams or the bridge mentors telling (warning) the new girls on the
dating scene at mudd. and by the time magic mountain came around
i think all of us were really glad we came. by the end, we had really
formed a interesting unit (beware "the family") and wondered what the other
frosh would be like. we also a bit anxious about being separated,
but knew it would be nice to know what we were doing during disorientation.
