Betsy and Wetsy: Re-United.

Over Columbus Day Wetsy made a return to Omega and she didn't wet herself once, even though she was considerably excited the whole time. She stayed with Betsy, who postponed her brooding for the weekend in favor of belligerent rampages around the countryside with her twin sister. 

Large spear-like sticks were obtained and left in the dining hall, only to be evicted by management. Various limbs of cryptically deformed toy soldiers were left as warning messages to those who had done the twins wrong. Graffiti was scrawled, participants were intimidated, and countless matching outfits were worn, with themes that included striped canteens, a made-over Betsy, and red and purple Wellesley beanies. 

Felix, who had shriveled in Wetsy's absence, was retrieved and revitalized in a vat of Frodo's kombucha. As for Frodo, he suffered a fair amount of abuse over the weekend as a result over the unsatisfyingly platonic relationship, and was even moved to tell Wetsy that he "didn't like her anymore" after she publicly questioned his intelligence/brain size for the umpteenth time. However, since Felix never actually contaminated any of the sacred kombucha, Frodo's "threshhold for abuse" remained un-reached. 

All in all, it was a thoroughly satisfying weekend, and Wetsy returned to Wellesley with a surge of optimism that soon began to shrink at the same rate as Felix. She hopes to find new ways to cultivate that carefree Omega attitude despite the impending GRE's, fellowship, school, and job applications, papers, exams, and winter. Tomorrow she gets to go on a trip to Dino State Park with her Vertebrate Paleontology class. Hooray!
