BRRRRILLIANT!!!
So there’s a rumor amongst some students that the Admission Office is a “fishbowl” (the floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the “O” may have something to do with that!)… and upon my return from lunch yesterday, I walked into a scene right out of The Little Mermaid…
No - fish do not fly around at Olin. This is the view from my “fishbowl” (courtesy of very cool blue plastic wrap and fish stickers!):
They were quite thorough in their pursuit… My new screensaver:

And the funniest/coolest surprise…
Although I’m not one to be on the receiving end of pranks, this one was full o’ love and totally made my day! Thanks to some devious members of the Classes of 2009 and 2010: Ash (the ringleader), Sarah, Jeff, Greg and Nikki. Co-conspirators included: Teresa, Caitlin, Emily and Susie.
Smiling all the way home,

I am so jealous, Allison! They obviously adore you.
I am very curious as to where they got the tissue-dispenser/fish bowl though?
Wow!

Well… there’s still fishing lure and some seaweed hanging around…
