Eat A Pretzel Day/Used Car Day/Dussehra/Pumpkin Festival (New York)

Running between four CCAs during Open House is actually manageable, since only Yvonne was forcing me to stay put and do stuff. Not to be overly critical, but I hope she's realised that Economics does have value as an academic discipline. I spent most of the day walking aimlessly around the campus, trying to sell RA magazines for about two hours, before I went back to help f(x) sell French food. That was after the mind-numbing experience of playing Taboo at the CWC booth. Anyway, I finally got one of those RJC bricks! Bumped into Ben, so I persuaded him to pick one up for me when he next passed by the foyer. Then it was off to the CWC forum. The topic was clichéd - Why write? The comments it elicited were lucid, even if they were also clichéd. Ms Ho is right in that respect; we have rather naïve ideas about writing in Singapore. Kept my mouth shut during the forum, because I didn't even want to be there. I know most of the speakers felt that way by the end! Hope they weren't too turned off RJC by her...
