Salvete Omnes,
My name is Jack Purple, and I’m rounding out the staff roster as the last RA for this year. I attended GLA in 2019, and I'm now a rising sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, studying Classics and Physics. The academy is one of my best memories, and I’m excited to help all of you have a great three weeks too! With introductions out of the way, I’d like to talk to you about that most exciting subject: laundry. GLA is pretty long, and with three weeks of activities including field trips, field day, and fielding certamen questions, at some point you’re going to need to do laundry. Please understand that there is no way to pack enough clothes for the whole time, plus you’ll need to wash things like your academy shirt more than once—laundry is not optional. Try to bring the following:
As far as laundry best practices, make sure you get it done quickly and efficiently—we will have limited access to the machines each week, as we share them with the Japanese Academy. Also, there’s no such thing as too many quarters. Seriously, bring like ten dollars worth of quarters. Otherwise, check off your checklists, pack your bags, and get ready for a fantastic summer! The other RA’s and I will be here to help you out if there are any snags. Valete, Jack
