Lake Lag Memories
MemChu, Stanford. I don't have a photo of Lake Lag, but I like to imagine that Jesus is calling for the lake to be filled.
Every Stanford student has fond memories of our beloved, beleaguered Lake Lagunita: its oily stank, the steadily decreasing water level, the walks of shame surreptitiously made around the Lake's perimeter. In honor of Lake Lag's 130th birthday, Stanford Magazine has a feature this month on all that the lake has meant to generations of students. One of my essays is in there:
"In the summer of 2000 I was living on campus, working a handful of jobs and enjoying my first summer away from home, except for the feeling that I would die if I did not see the ocean soon." [read the rest]
In other Stanford news, I found out that the Purple Mango Post was recently added to the Stanford Blog Directory, a listing of all the alum-run websites out there. We're in the company of websites that make the world a better place, like Wedding Paper Divas (the design geniuses who made my rehearsal dinner invites) and Orangette (the lovely cooking blog by Molly Wizenburg).
