Ditch Day 2006
Yesterday was Ditch Day. Hopefully all the students had fun and didn’t have any injuries. When I was a student I sustained a pretty serious injury on one Ditch Day, I think it was my sophomore year. (I won’t recount the gory details…) When I finally got to the hospital emergency room, the staff were saying, “What’s going on over there at Caltech today?? You’re the third person who’s come in here so far!” And I think another student showed up while I was there getting taken care of.
Anyway, Ditch Day is a nice excuse to cancel classes and catch up on grading, so that’s what I did!
