Looking for a new source to tell you what’s happening on-campus, in easy-to-read bloggy form? Consider it found. If you’ve looked at my cute, lil’ userprofile, then you’ve seen that I tout myself as The Ultimate Attendee – if it’s happening on campus, you can bet I’ll be there. I’m Pam.

After reading that exciting and in-depth bio, I’d say you know me almost well enough to be BFFrz. Let the pamblings (pam+ramblings…ZING) begin!
Tufts Timmy Dodgeball Tournament
Flashback to the beginning of this week: I’m hurtin’ pretty bad for a chance to break out my high socks and sweatband. Lo and behold, opportunity presents itself in the form of the Tufts Timmy Dodgeball Tournament – a fundraiser for The Tufts Timmy Foundation. The organization is about providing healthcare in the underdeveloped world, and the Tufts chapter held the tournament as a fundraiser for the foundation and their January service trip to Guatemala. I formed a Dream Team of female ruggers. I forgot to send a team name in, so they kept announcing us as Team Pam (to my delight). What we may have lacked in skill we certainly made up for in enthusiasm – cheering like the beasts that we are. I’d rather not discuss our actual scores (…or lack thereof). The games took place bracket-style in the Gantcher indoor track, and the turn-out was pretty impressive. Competitive attitude depended on the team, but I’d say most people were there to have some silly fun. We had a ridiculous time and as a result are planning on participating in the Intramural Dodgeball League (keep your eyes peeled for pictures soon) that starts up next week. I’ll be getting our t-shirt decals and matching sweatbands this weekend.
Food Fairs Galore
In other news, this was a well-fed week. First, I conned my way into the Freshman Har-fest (Harvest Fest) to get pumpkin pie and plenty of cider. Well…by “conned” I really mean walked in with the freshmen from my team after Dodgeball. It helps to be a member of the group (Programming Board) that puts on these events, since it gets you access. I award 1 Pammy to the pumpkin muffins — too good.
Then I stumbled twice, actually twice, into Food Fairs in the Campus Center. Literally stumbled. The first time, I was getting the Jumbo suit when I walked into a Pizza Days employee giving out free T-shirts and PIZZA at lunchtime. Also present was Pranzi’s, Wings Over Somerville, and Papa John’s. TCU Senate had put on a sampler fair for students to help decide who will be the next lucky restaurant on MOPs (Jumbocash). My picks are Pranzi’s and Sugar & Spice (a Thai place in Porter Square). The second time, I was on my way to the Arabic tutor when I tripped over a sushi station. TASA had an Asian Food Fair with a smorgasboard that included make-your-own sushi and spring rolls and mooshoo (sp?) pork. Fannntastic.
Long story short, I’m bruised from dodgeballs and walking into Food Fair tables, but morale is higher than ever.
Stay tuned for….
