Hi! I'm Anouk. I'm a flying squirrel. I'm a stereotypical nerd (meaning I enjoy reading and am above my grade level at math... how surprising). I often go on random RealCTY editing sprees and sometimes obsessively clean and organize random parts of the house. I'm an introvert, but I have a tendency to talk a lot. Probably too much.
 
  
I really, really like music.

Hi!
  
Unlike most CTYers, my nomore year is when I'm 12, right before I go into my freshman year. I still get four years, though, so it's not all bad.
+
I'm a flying squirrel. Years ago, I often went on RealCTY editing sprees. I still do sometimes, but nowhere near as often.
  
I like you. I love you. I CTY you.
+
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).

This session gave me my first experience with a university cafeteria/dining hall. I discovered soda machines. Giving me access to those was a mistake. This was not a great session but it was good enough to make me want to come back.
*First CTY
 
*First experience with a university dining hall. I discovered the magic of the soda machines and may or may not have become kinda sorta addicted to Powerade for a short while. Yes it's better than Gatorade because Gatorade gives me a sore throat.
 
  
My squirrel year absolutely sucked. I had a terrible relationship with my hall, my classmates, my instructor and TA, my RA, the admins... This isn't surprising, given that I was just discovering the existence of video games on smartphones (my parents are pretty technology-averse) and I was an immature nine-year-old. I had exactly two close-ish friends and that was it. Everyone else... tolerated me, at best. I really don't know why I came back for another year of CTY.

I didn't have a very strong bond with my hallmates here either. Looking back, I realize they did act quite a bit like a clique. They mostly spent all their time in a room staring at a screen, watching YouTube or playing video games or posting on musical.ly. Since I didn't have a device and wasn't "cool", I was excluded (pretty much outright rejected) from this group and spent most of my time holed up in my room, reading and binge-eating jelly beans. (Gee, what a healthy, balanced diet.)

* "In the unlikely event that I am decapitated and Zach is rendered unconscious, bring his unresponsive body ''there'' and await further. Adult. Assistance"
All my friends were in Tamar's hall, which was in the wing across from mine. We didn't find each other until the second week during activities, and of course it was hard to interact with them when we had dorm time.

My RA here (Dara) was pretty cool. Actually, she blew my previous RA out of the water. I suppose the only notable thing Emily did for me was tie my hair up in a ponytail each morning because we had to go into a lab and at the time I couldn't do ponytails on my own.

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.

I did qualify for IS CTY but chose to take a CAA course instead since it was the only option that I liked. The other course I could have taken was [[INBS]], but I tend to get queasy around dissections, so that was out.
 
 
 
I kinda wish I was on the fifth floor - there were some truly awesome people there. Shout-out to the incredible RAs (Kendall Varin, Genna Ducharme-Hall, Elina, and Kim) and everyone in the Glee Club! (Oh, and Kendall's incredible death stare/neutral face. They're the same thing.)
 
 
 
My official RA was basically a hermit while we had dorm time. She'd go into her room and stay there for the entire time. She was, however, still available and responded when you knocked on her door to ask for a band-aid or something.
 
 
 
My instructor was feared by many. This was far from unreasonable. He looked threatening, sounded threatening, and acted threatening. For some reason, we all managed to overlook this and we (mostly) thought he was awesome.
 
 
 
My class was insanity. There were lots of immature boys. The most common discussion topic was farting. Besides that, there were tons of crazy antics. A lot of stupid things were said.

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!
