Normally I have my internship Mondays and Wednesdays, but this week was unique as I went to Seattle on Sunday for the special Valentine’s Day market event. Due to this, I had Wednesday off. I took advantage of this and went snowshoeing at Mount Saint Helen’s. About two and a half hours from Olympia, the […]
(Written from my Emotional Support Animal or ESA’s, point of view) Hello to all you humans, if you do not know already, the name I was given by my human is Nala. I’m fine with the name, after all, it is the same name of the lioness in “The Lion King”. Anyways, I will tell […]
Hi, so I live in the on-campus student apartments and each one has a kitchen, which for me is egg-cellent! (the pun had to be made). I love to cook the way Remmy from “Ratatouille” likes to cook, only my personal favorites are Asian and more specifically Japanese dishes. And it’s not just because I’m […]
On February 10 of 2018, I went to my first ChibiChibiCon, hosted here at the Evergreen State College and put together by Evergreen’s student group/club called The Giant Robot Appreciation Society for free to students and the public annually. So from 12PM to 12AM I was in a nerdy wonderland of amazing cosplays, panels, games, artists, […]
This quarter, I am doing an ILC (Independent Learning Contract) based around textile crafts. Because of the independent nature of the contract, most of my “class time” is actually just me sitting in the library reading book after book and compiling research. I’m really passionate about the subject that I have chosen to study so […]
For my internship with Thistlehook Farm, I was given the opportunity to attend a special Valentine’s Day event at the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market Cooperative. Doug, owner of Thistlehook Farm, is a full member of this coop and sells all of his product at their market. As Valentine’s Day is by far the most profitable day for […]
Just wanted to take a moment to describe the program model I’m currently taking at Evergreen this quarter. It is a Student Originated Studies (SOS). How is this different than a normal program or an Independent Learning Contract (ILC)? Well its actually a kind of hybrid of the two. You still have to option to […]
This quarter at Evergreen, I am doing independent research on textile crafts and small businesses involved in textile production. So, I reached out to Olympic Yarn and Fiber (a small fiber mill in Montesano, Wa) and asked if there was an opportunity to tour the facilities. Lynn, the owner, was incredibly welcoming so, last week, […]
Yesterday I went hiking on Mount Eleanor in the Olympic Mountains with a couple of friends. Only about an hour and half drive from the Evergreen State College campus, it’s a really good way to get out in nature. Normally it’s a 4 mile round trip (summit and back) from the upper trail head and […]
Hi, my name is Emily (she/her). I grew up in Oakland, CA, then moved to Olympia fresh out of high school about three years ago. Realizing that a lot of my AP credits transferred over, I planned to graduate early, so I’m now a senior looking to graduate this Spring. I’ve studied a wide array […]
