Lauren's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

- FallHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: WRIT 5 Deus et Machina: Sports, Science and Ethics
  I took this class as part of Dartmouth's first year writing requirement. We read a pro cyclist's life narrative, discussed research papers on controversial topics in sports, and wrote our own papers on a contentious sports technology of our choice. I really enjoyed this course's emphasis on discussion, and the small class size!
- WinterHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: CLST 11.17 Greek Athletics
  This was my first class in the classics department, which was super exciting as a classical studies major! We learned about the ancient Olympics and the connections between athletics and other aspects of ancient Greek society. I loved the final project in this class, which involved creating an argument about how the ancient pentathlon was scored!
- SpringHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: LAT 3 Latin 3
  To conclude my language requirement, I took Latin 3! This class was super exciting because we began to read ancient texts and poetry. We also took a class trip to the Rauner Special Collections library so we could physically handle and read some manuscripts. And as an added bonus, Latin counts as a prerequisite for my classical studies major!
- SummerRome, Italy
  Favorite Class: ITAL 4 Reading Rome
  As a part of my language study abroad in Italy, I also took a class on Italian history and culture! We went on field trips to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, participated in walking tours of Rome, and watched a lot of great cinema in this class! I loved it so much that I decided to minor in Italian.
- FallHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: CLST 6 Classical Archaeology
  This class, in addition to being a pre-requisite for my major, was super interesting! I loved learning about archaeology through hands-on projects and lectures that felt like TED Talks.
- WinterRome, Italy
  Favorite Class: ITAL 10 Italian Literature: Masterworks and Great Issues
  My favorite course on my Italian LSA+ in Rome is focused on Italian literature, which we are studying in a reverse-chronological order! It has been incredibly fun to see different topics and styles evolve over time and to learn from the works of the best writers.
- SpringHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: LAT 10.04 Latin Manuscripts and Palaeography
  I’m absolutely loving this hands-on introduction to paleography, and the fact that my class meets at Rauner every day! I can’t wait to hear from our guest lecturers, too, and I’ll be sure to share those experiences on the blog. All in all, Latin 10 was a great way to get back into the language after a term away in Rome.
- SummerHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: LAT 30.08 History and Structure of the Latin Language
  I signed up for this Latin class after the FDOC (first day of class), and I'm so glad I added it to my sophomore summer schedule! Our class is combined with GRK 30.08 History and Structure of the Greek Language, and it has been incredibly interesting to compare the ancient languages and learn a bit of Greek.
- FallIvrea, Italy
  This term, I'm interning with the Olivetti Leadership Institute in Ivrea, a small town in northern Italy.
- WinterHanover, NH
  For my second off-term, I'm back on campus! I'm keeping myself busy by working, spending time with friends, and working on my to-be-read list.
- SpringHanover, NH
  Favorite Class: MES 1.01: Introduction to Middle Eastern Studies
  I signed up for this course to complete my final distributive requirement for graduation, and it has turned out to be one of my most rewarding classes! It’s been fascinating to explore a region of the world I hadn’t formally studied before. As a bonus, the lectures are incredibly engaging and I always leave class feeling like my perspective has been broadened.

I love looking back at my camera roll, so I thought I could blog about some of my favorite photos from the term so far.

Pine Park

The weather has been warming up recently; however, at the beginning of the term, the ground was covered in snow! I enjoyed exploring the winter wonderland with my friends and going on walks despite the chilly temperatures
No. 2
Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC)

One of my favorite aspects of Dartmouth Outing Club trips is the opportunity to meet more of my classmates. On a recent trip to Vermont during the eclipse, I cherished the opportunity to connect with other students interested in the outdoors.
No. 3
Sunset (and Rainbow)!

A few days ago, I was able to see a beautiful sunset and rainbow over Dartmouth Hall while sitting on the Green with my friends. After a rainy week, it was a welcome sight that reminded me how beautiful my campus is.
No. 4
The Green

Speaking of the Green, I’ve been spending a lot of time there recently! I enjoy studying, hanging out with my friends, and sharing a meal outside. One of my favorite things about the Green is that it always seems to be buzzing with activity such as people playing sports, listening to music, and just enjoying the fresh air
