About this blog

Welcome! I quietly started this blog in 2005 to document my first year at the University of Virginia. As traffic increased, it was clear that posts about the admission process were more popular than ones about my reaction to events in Charlottesville, so the purpose of the blog evolved to being about the admission process alone.

Why Peabody?

The Office of Admission is located in Peabody Hall (along with the Dean of Students on the second floor). So the blog is a series of notes written to students from my office in Peabody Hall.

Why Blogspot?

I've considered moving everything over to a more official home on the UVA website a few times, but blogspot has been a good, free home for the blog all these years.
