its Devon! so, the first day of college visits!!! we visited Swarthmore and Ursinus, so heres the report:

Swarthmore: is now Jack's number one school (it was Dartmouth before and will be something else tomorrow). it has an absolutely gorgeous campus and facilities, their programs are outstanding. we both had interviews there, and we think that they went well. jack says "its in a freakin arboretum for gods sack!"



Ursinus: written by jack (new nickname is Judgemental Jack)

The first thing I noticed about Ursinus was that it sucked. After that I didn't really pay attention.

okay back to me now: Ursinus had a beautiful campus and a really cool philosophy with its core curriculum. personally I can't see myself there, I don't think that it is academically challenging enough. all of you waldorfians who are reading this should know that the core curriculum includes: Dante, Gilgamesh, the Bible, Plato's Allegory of the Cave, etc...... jack thinks this is boring so I'm stopping now, back to him:

While were in Philadelphia we ran up the steps to the Library, just as Rocky did in the movie (here is the clip of him running up the steps..... mom said that it was one of her favorites growing up, so we did it for her.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NubH5BDOaD8......) I will post the video we made.

we did a little dance at the top although it is hard to see.
