Humans v. Zombies made for some interesting vignettes at the 5C's last week. Everywhere you looked, there were hot pink bandanas and students lurking behind bushes with Nerf guns. The battles taking place outside our windows were a fun distraction from file reading and committee.
Speaking of distractions, there's always Fruit Ninja on the iTouch.
And a blueberry-yogurt bundt cake with lemon glaze, homemade by the dean. Mmm!
And my favorite distraction of all, Falone's daughter Lailah. See what a good file reader she is?
You can see how seriously she takes the committee process. We're lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.
don't mean to be overly critical or anything - but the multiple posts/pictures of babies handling files is not reassuring to someone who put a ton of effort into the application and really cares a lot about the outcome. It's not a trivial matter. Now I'm wondering if the cute baby tore up my recommendation threw pages out or drooled on my essay...
ReplyDeleteOh, but what if the cute baby *added* pages?
ReplyDelete"Unfortunately we are unable to offer you admission, since your file was used as a plaything for our cute baby. But you can see how seriously she takes the committee process."
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to request a non-baby reader? I'm not sure I put enough primary colors in my application -
sort of kidding, sort of not
Look, if the cute baby makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to look at the pictures! Rest assured we take application reading seriously -- but when we are working twelve and fourteen hour days, breaks for humor are essential.
ReplyDeleteIf it's a comfort, applications are read by at least two ADULTS, and Lailah was in the committee room for all of three minutes -- just long enough to pose and look adorable.
To Anonymous (all 3 of you), how do you know she didn't recommend to admit you? She definitely favors students with a good sense of humor...
ReplyDeletehaha... this is hilarious.
