This was overall a not-great session but it was enough to make me want to come back, so it probably wasn't as bad as I remember. I still don't know how to feel about this one.

Hi!

I'm a flying squirrel. Years ago, I often went on RealCTY editing sprees. I still do sometimes, but nowhere near as often.

I can...sort of rave? And teach people? I cannot guarantee that I won't accidentally hit you (or myself) in the face with a glow stick or poi. You have been warned :) If you're interested, hmu I'm one of those crazy people with the spinning lightbulbs (aka poi).

I like you, I love you, I CTY you!

The following is so I don't forget the names of hallmates, RAs, instructors etc, but feel free to read.

Instructor: Kurt

TA: Zach

Hallmates: Makayla, Carrie, Grace, Jennifer, Anne, Lila, Chloe, Natalie, Sunny, and Stephanie. Stephanie never showed up.

Notable quotes:

  • "In the unlikely event that I am decapitated and Zach is rendered unconscious, bring his unresponsive body there and await further. Adult. Assistance"
  • "The HAWWWWWT POTATOES!"
  • "You dimple!"

I could go on and on about how awesome my instructor and TA were this year. They made a huge effort to get us engaged and have fun with the course and didn't talk down to us. They were fantastic.
