At Carlisle's second session, 2008, Fish:
Was on Andrew's hall with Angus (roommate, Intro to Creative Writing), Ben (INCW), Vincent (INCW), Gonzalo (Existentialism, left early), Allen (EX), Patrick (Cryptology), Kevin (Crypt), Garret (Crypt), Dane (Crypt), TJ (Crypt), Max (Crypt), Louis (Crypt), and Stowe (Crypt).
Was in Introduction to Creative Writing, taught by Mike Dockins (A poet who formerly taught Crafting the Essay) and TAd by Saskia Cornes. In it were girls from Natasha's hall: Amalia (one of the Forceful Four ((see: Cult of Godzilla))), Becca (who he developed a crush on, asked to dance at several CTY dances and is currently dating, thanks in part to Stairway to Heaven). Avery, Kris, Olivia, Amy, Emily, Caitlin, and Marie.
Hung out with The Forceful Four often, and got into both verbal and physical fights with GW because of their differing political views (Fish=democrat, GW=idiot).
Participated in a one-minute reenactment of The Little Mermaid as his Passionfruit initiation.
Was noted for his contributions to poetry night, including the call "Poetry night! Quad seven! Not as bad as it sounds!" He read a short poem about ADHD medication entitled Focus, and is possibly more well-known for his much longer poem "How Cheney Stole Christmas" that was praised except for the fact that it took ten minutes and left a lot of would-be readers still in line by the time Meet Market was over. Again, SORRY!! Both of these poems can be viewed on his Fan Page.
MC'd the talent show after a strong audition in which he used a joke about ballerina buns that Max's hall would use later in their skit about the rinas. He cracked numerous jokes, most were hits and a few were misses, mostly running gag where he tried to, a la Stephen Colbert, sell the sponsorship of the talent show to various companies. This generally fell flat and was mocked by the other host, Jeff Herr.
Dressed up for Drag Day in a miniskirt and pink shirt. Photos are available on Facebook.
Was terrified of the fire drill.
Was introduced to the wonderful world of fantasy football by Kevin Hardaman.

He never got the swine flu. So HA.
He was on Christian's hall, on the third floor of quad one. He shared it with Arthur Schechter, Ean Marshall, Connor Groat, Tom Zhou, Teddy Spelman, Isaac Lapides, and Gary Minassian (all in film) and Burk Loeliger, Josh or Tristan someone, Ritesh something, Jonathan somethin, Brian Shuie, and Ryo something (all in physics).
He was in Critical Essay: Film, taught by Timross and TAd by Meredith Slifkin, as well as Nate Antiel for a brief period of time when Meredith caught swine flu. In addition to the previously mentioned filmies on his hall, his class contained Jackie Wang, Khaki Frost, Xuewei Ouyang, Isabella Rosner, Marie Sterba, Caroline Ellison, and Marissa Lilly, with whom he started a relationship that is still going long-distance. They were the only people seen twirling each other during the slow dances. Shame on everyone else.
He MCd the talent show and did not sell the show. He was a hit with the audience, but drew a lot of fire from some RAs for his slightly offensive political humor. A known Republican, working on tech, cut his mike in the middle of a Sarah Palin joke. REAL MATURE.
He wrote some material and was an understudy for Adam in the movie Zombination, which he would like to know where to find.
He read at every poetry night, and none of his poems were exceedingly long, a la How Cheney Stole Christmas.
He did drag day, wearing a blue skirt with white polka dots and a wife-beater tank top.
He had even more fun than the year before.
He loves CTY and he loves the Passionfruit.
