Carpe Carpum: Sieze the Fish!

[l33tminion]

Today was advisers day, so I spent the morning and early afternoon doing group activities with my advising family (group of three advisers (to cover math, science, and AHS (arts, humanities, and social science)) and their advisees). My personal adviser will be Rebecca when she comes to Olin in January, in the meantime, my adviser is Rob, the "Wizard of AHS." In the afternoon I met individually with my advisers to discuss course registration.

This evening, there will be a "fireside chat," where students meet with upper administration.

And I'm still amazed by Olin food! Lamb tangine was one of the dinner options tonight, and it was super-tasty. *sighs with happiness*

I'm beginning to learn some people's names (still working hard at that, though). I'm really enjoying spending time with my Olin classmates.

Oh, and I got my ID card today. The cards are very useful (combining ID, our meal plan, dining dollars, and a proximity key (you hold it near the reader to unlock a door)), but, unfortunately, mine does not seem to work properly. I'll have to get it checked tomorrow. *sigh*

It should be "Carpe Carpam", at least according to Erasmus.

My fairly extensive Latin dictionary lists carp as either hippurus or cyprinus, both masculine, 2nd declension. Also, you might Latinize Greek karpos into carpus, of which the accusative would be carpum.
