Telluride House The Cornell Branch of Telluride Association

I’m Jim Hayden, 5th-year Ph.D. student in Entomology and 3rd-year student in Telluride. Besides Meredith, I’m the other person on the computers committee this semester. After two years as a House Treasurer, I rotated into this job in part to learn more about IT. It’s also a great opportunity for communication and group decision-making. Even so, I miss keeping the books… that job was the best way to get a comprehensive view of the House’s functioning, which is fairly complex.

Good almost midnight from your webmistress. I was supposed to do Japanese homework tonight but got sucked in with committee work for both C-Czars (C for Computer) and Outreach. Things are pretty much under control though, at least. It’s only my third week at Telluride and already I’m in the thick of things, which is where I generally like to be. I really love being here, even the parts that I expected to not like, such as having less privacy and being around people significantly younger than me (stodgy grad student that I am). Something about being around incredibly precocious undergrads reminds me that there’s something to be said for the bravado of youth. However, my old body is telling me to go to bed so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
