May 7, 2012 - Kilroy’s Senior Open-to-Close
Today is Monday, May 7, 2012. We just graduated college not yet 48 hours ago. This is the last time we’ll all be together, in the same place, at the same time, for the rest of our lives. Therefore, we’re knocking off a few items from our IU Bucket List.
This blog was created with the sole intention in mind to document the 2012 Graduation Weekend Open-to-Closers’ story. Many have tread the path before us. Many will follow in our footsteps. The road we have chosen to travel is long, arduous, and complicated. But we have chosen it all the same.
These are our stories.
The rules of Open-To-Close are simple:
1. You arrive at Kilroy’s before 11am, and don’t leave the premises until 3am.
There are no rules about how many drinks you have to purchase (the rumors range from one per hour to $100 tab per person). There are no rules about how many people must participate (although a solo O2C would be epic). The only rule is: “You can’t leave.”
This blog will feature:
- Biographical sketches of participants
- Guest posts written about a topic of the author’s choice
- Pictures, video, and artwork documenting the day
- Stories both happy and sad, somber and amusing, and more inside jokes than you can shake a stick at.
Finally, I hope you enjoy following along as we etch our names in the history books.
“You’re off to great places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
so… get on your way!”
-Dr. Seuss
Report 3
“This experiment seeks to show that terrestrial isopods have developed behavioral adaptations to combat the negative effects of water loss and predation specific to terrestrial habitation through a statistical analysis of behavior in response to the manipulation of light and moisture conditions.”
Thesis #2:
“This experiment will measure the number of planktonic organisms found along the vertical column of the open water in Lake Yellowwood and should show a distribution of plankton that is affected according to the non-mixing nature of the different zones along the limnetic water temperature gradient, and not a uniform gradient that would be expected in a monothermic system”
