Capitol Hill is on the verge of a major breakthrough. First Po Dog, Seattle University’s numerous remodelings, renovations of old buildings, Elliott Bay Book Company’s moving, and now we can add I Love New York Deli to the list.
The new I Love New York Deli location will be right off Broadway between Pike and Pine (of course.) Everyone get ready for amazing sandwiches and … get ready for this… they might be open 24 hours! Seattle University students, you now have one more late night eatery option to add to your list of “places to eat after a night out on the hill.” All this time, you’ve had the street meat, Pita Pit, Dicks, etc, but now you can sink your teeth into a nice delicous sandwich. Competition beware.

There has been an Edward Cullen sighting!
I kid you not. THE Edward Cullen has a twin and he is a student at Seattle University. Pale skin. Thin lips. That weird hair. The pout. It’s all there, all signs point to positive.
Last night, at around 8:35 PM, I sat in the hearth for the SEAC Coffeehouse event watching the band Judgement Day perform when BAM! I get this weird feeling inside… like I’m seeing sparkles. I turn to my right and I see the Edward Cullen walking up the stairs.
However, this is not the first sighting. I have seen him around. Same description as before and he is never with anyone else, which makes me wonder…is his pseudo family around?
If I can snag a picture or maybe an interview, I will!

You might find yourself asking that question quite often if you attend Seattle University or live in Seattle. In no way is it a bad thing at all to even be called a hipster or to be associated with “hipsters.” The idea of it is something that interests me only because I find that the group has evolved so much over the years. Seriously the hipsters today look a lot different than the hipsters in say… 2004.
My brother often likes to make the joke that I am a hipster myself. Agree to disagree, I have no idea if I would put myself in that category. He sent me this link today from Paste Magazine with the article “Evolution of the Hipster 2000-2009.”

I’m so lucky that I have my Project 366 to look back on for the year of 2008. It is such a treat to be able to look back on your year and your life, especially for a year that was very important and special to me: my first year of college.
This is a picture of my dear friend Ryan and I on a school night watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show ‘08. How I ever had free time to watch tv and not slave away over homework, I have no idea… fall quarter was great to me. My entire freshman year was … too much fun. It’s funny cause I can’t even remember having as much fun this year so far as I have had before when I was a freshman.
On December 31st, I will have had two full year projects done. Where I will go from there, I am not sure yet, but I have a month to decide what I’ll be doing next.

Here!
On the night of my Fall Ball event, Seattle University hosted the “For the Difference We Make” Gala. I just came across this video today and I know this post is well overdue, but check out this video. It’s amazing. I remember Annemarie had asked me if I wanted to be in it, but my schedule always interfered with the filming schedule. It’s still cool to recognize familliar faces within it though. If this video doesn’t make a high school senior want to come here, then I don’t know what would. It truly defines Seattle University and reminds me of why I go here in the first place. And I don’t mean to say that in a cliche way or as a way to plug my own school. If anything, I’m more attracted to how this video was designed!
Earlier tonight, I was talking with my friend Tina about how much Seattle University has changed over the years. We’re now remodeling our library, we are building a new residence hall for upperclassmen by my senior year, remodeling our gym. We have a new admissions and alumni building and are creating a building for the law school. We are now in Division I in athletics. It’s no secret that our school is expanding further into the city. I’m excited to see where Seattle University will be in the next couple of years.
PS Gladys Knight performed at our GALA! If I didn’t have Fall Ball, I would’ve have totally gone to see her.

Visqueen is coming to Seattle University!
Get excited. This local Seattle band is about to blow up. I cannot wait to see them perform live tomorrow at the hearth – 8PM. Their lead singer Rachel Flotard recently did an interview on KSUB – Seattle University’s radio station and I am pumped. She seems like such an amazing woman who is so sure of herself and lives a truly inspiring life.
She recently was featured in Minus the Bear’s new song “Into The Mirror,” which I posted about… last month. Now she’ll actually be here. Just to jog your memory:
SEAC presents Visqueen tomorrow night at 8 PM in the hearth of the student center.
Opening Act: Chris Ballew from the Presidents of the USA is doing a solo act to open for Visqueen. He will be playing tracks from Presidents of the USA as well as his side project Caspar Babypants.
We will be having a raffle for a free show at Neumos and a $50 gift card to the Showbox.
Do we have your attention now?!

Fall Ball was a success! We sold out at 1,185 people. Thank you to everyone who came and had a great time. Thanks to those who were respectful, appreciative and grateful to the Aquarium staff, volunteers and SEAC. This experience has been amazing for me. I’ve learned a lot through myself and through others and I’m so thankful for my SEAC family. I’m lucky to be working with such amazing people all the time.
As a sophomore, I have grown up so much this year. Never have I ever dealt with so many unruly people in one place before haha and it was a reminder slash wakeup call to me that I will never be one of them. I don’t think I have ever worked so hard at an event in my life and I’m so glad to have had an experience like this. At this point, I think I really gotta go back into music and I can’t wait to use what I have learned and come back even stronger than before. Enjoy the pictures of my SEAC staff and I. I’m so happy I had this time with them before the dance, it was the happiest I was all night!!
Thank you SEAC family for being amazing
Thank you USnaps for our AWESOME photobooth
Thank you Sound Factory for your entertainment and decorations
Thank you Nordstrom for my shoes and H&M for my wonderful dress and Stephanie Thompson for her skills in hemming.
Haters – I dgaf at this point :) your unhappiness is not anything I could have controlled, if anything it was probably your fault hah

This year, I had the opportunity of being a part of a great organization, Student Events and Activities Council (SEAC) planning Seattle University’s annual Fall Ball dance! Kind of a different change from the usual concert planning, but it’s going to be a great event and we’re all very excited for it.

Here’s what we have to offer.
- A free sea otter show for the first 150 people to arrive for the show at 8:30 PM
- Open exhibits allowing you to explore the Aquarium. Usually it would cost $16, you’re getting a deal.

The Aquarium is a beautiful space, so please come take a night off away from campus to join us.
Frequently asked question of all time: Can you bring a guest that is a non-Seattle University student?
Katie’s answer: Every Seattle University student is allowed to bring one non-Seattle University student. Please have your guest bring one form of ID with them if they are under 21 ie) license/passport. If your guest is over 21, they must bring two forms of ID (license/passport)
Reminder: Read the back of your ticket, there’s text there too!
A few things to remember before you leave for Fall Ball:
No bags. Girls will be allowed to bring clutches
Seattle University students must bring their ID
We reserve the right to deny admittance to or remove anyone who appears intoxicated to the point of ridiculousness or goes against the code of conduct. STAY CLASSY. Do not embarrass our school. The Aquarium is a great space and we would like to remain a great relationship with them.
No vomiting. It’s disgusting. We’ll make you clean it up.

My MGMT professor says that within three seconds of meeting someone new, you will ask yourself two questions. “Is this person a threat?” or “Can I breed w/ this person?”
smart right?

Seattle U students:
Halloween isn’t really Halloween without treating yourself to a stroll at our FIRST-EVER haunted house put on by two of my favorite SEAC members Mr. Max Stowell and Miss Veronica Lim. These two have been working very very hard on it, but everything is really a surprise. I’m in it and I don’t even know what’s going on!
We understand it’s a Friday and that it’s Halloween weekend, but you can start your party off right with the haunted house in the Bellarmine basement from 8 PM- 9:30 PM. It doesn’t cost anything, just bring yourself and be ready for surprises.
Seattle U students:
Have you tried the vanilla rootbeer cream soda? Seriously. It’s the best thing ever. Sometimes it’s a special sometimes it’s not, but if it’s not you can still order it.
So do it. I do everyday.

When I moved back to school this year, I unpacked all of my belongings and in my printer/scanner/copier I found this. My dear friend Dom had drawn such a lovely picture of us and it was forgotten through the summer months. When I found it again, I knew I wanted to post it so here it is. Enjoy!
Please note how accurate this drawing is from my asian eyes to the belted dress. Perfection.
