Good morning. It’s NSOP Day 5. Welcome to the middle of the end of the beginning of the rest of your life.

Today’s Highlights:

  • Religious Life Open House at Earl Hall: Interested in joining a religious group on campus? Head to Earl Hall between 10 AM and 1 PM to learn about religious resources and meet faith leaders on campus. Snacks provided!
  • Tootsie: Didn’t sign up for Urban NY by Wednesday? There’s hope for you yet. Come to 505 Lerner Hall well before the departure time (6:50 PM), and see if you can grab free standby tickets to the Tony Award-winning musical Tootsie.
  • Language Placement Exams: I know you don’t want to take a test before you’ve even started college, but trust us, you’ll thank yourself later. The Arabic, French, German and Hindi-Urdu exams are all at 10 AM today in Milbank and Knox. Check out the Barnard First-Year Blog for full information.

One Thing To Do Before Graduating: Rush a Broadway show. Not only will you get discounted tickets, but when the first sign of morning crests over the buildings, bathing your bleary eyes in a fragile opalescent light, you will see the face of God.
