Hello Blog! This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind. My Google Calendar has had very few vacant blocks, which is just a testament to how quickly the semester begins! All of my classes are in full swing, my music rehearsals and lessons have begun, and I’m back to working in the Admission Office (giving tours!). Here’s a…

Courses, Chromatography, and Carillon!
Hello Blog! I’ll start by an official run down of my courses this semester as promised: CHEM 212: otherwise known as orgo II. I really ended up loving orgo last semester, so I’m excited to continue this semester! A lot of what the course covers actually relates directly to the techniques I use in my research lab, so I’m looking…
FWOC recap!
Hello Blog! Long time no see! I hope everyone had a restful and joyous holiday season! I spent lots of time with my family and friends, baked many batches of cookies, rediscovered the Goodreads app, tried out a new hobby or two, and of course, got some much needed sleep. It was honestly the perfect amount of break. I had…
The Busiest Week of the Semester
Hello Blog! As the title suggests, this is a very busy week for me! Let’s do a quick run down: On Monday I had my math midterm. This was a big deal because we only have 2 big tests during the semester and this was one of them. My professor knew this and even hosted office hours on Saturday for…
Back From Thanksgiving Break
Hello Blog! Long time no see – last week was very short because of Thanksgiving break and I was feeling a bit under the weather, but I’m glad to be back! These next few weeks are going to be pretty crazy. It’s T-14 days until the end of classes for the fall semester. Next week I have two midterms plus…
The last full week before Thanksgiving break!

I had my advancement on Friday, played my very first concert on the big bells, and successfully spelled the word carillonneur. Now that I’m no longer an apprentice, I can play my pieces for the rest of campus whenever I…
Fall Views From the Bell Tower :)
Hi Blog! I hope you’re enjoying these cover photos at the beginning of each of my posts. This is the view I have from one of the top windows in the bell tower. I take pictures almost every time I go up there (I need to make the quantity of stairs worth it), so it’s been really lovely to see…
Happy Halloween!
Hello Blog! Happy Halloween readers! I hope you are having a very spooky day and eating those mini candy bars (or honestly the full-size ones) at any free moment you have. I know we’ve personally had a candy bowl in the Office of Admission since the beginning of the month, so as a candy corn apologist, I’ve definitely been enjoying…
A Very Musical Week
Hello blog! What a busy week it has been! This past weekend was friends and family weekend, so there were lots of people on campus starting around Thursday. Wellesley definitely chose a great time for people to visit because the leaves are in all their peak-autumnal glory. Who wouldn’t want to show off this campus? My chamber music trio was…
I Met Lulu Chow Wang (not clickbait)
Hello Blog!! This week was a short one in terms of academics (3 day week thanks to Fall Break) but not in terms of excitement! The top 3 events of this week included… Lunch with Lulu Chow Wang (!!!) This was an event organized by Karen Shih, the advisor to students of Asian descent. When I tell you I have…
