Today, I experienced the Wellesley tradition of "primal scream." It's where, at midnight the night before exams start, all girls step outside (or fling their windows open) and let loose a scream of earth-shattering proportions. Even as I type this, there are still the occasional stray screams coming through my (tightly shut) window. I had a paper due today at midnight, so I turned it in just in approximately 3 minutes early and stepped outside just in time to experience the waves of piercing banshee noises.
...and there goes another stray wave, 10 minutes later! It's quite interesting standing outside during midnight. You can hear each wave of screams from distant places on campus. Unfortunately I did not contribute because I've forgotten how to scream!
