Leave at 6:49 from Roback (Back of Robo) Who is Isabell? Isabell is the '14 from San Diego who packed sundresses in September and just unfolded them yesterday morning. She wakes up at 5 am to run Pine Park, hits Collis by 7, and then starts studying for one of her 3 lab courses so that she can have time at night to make funfetti with her small but close-knit group of friends. Isabell thinks the D comics are funny, Heorot is a dorm in East Wheelock, and that her cs ta has the world all figured out (He has the lab answers from when he took the class). We'll see each other for another week until she realizes that I'd rather nap than attend another Dickey lecture about public health (I'm sorry, I'm ending this through a Dinertoure blitz. Upperclassmen can be so cruel). For now, though, Isabell is hope embodied. Join us at her diner Wednesday morning, where we eat her Perfect Pancakes and Fabulous French Toast and hold up our orange juice glasses to the memory of dreams. The Ride is Free, bring small bills.
