Greenwich Mod 16

Experience the Joys of Mod 16!
Located on the library-side of beautiful Donut 2, this five-person intern mod has been a shining example of mod life in action throughout recorded (in Hampedia) history. The upstairs windows provide a vibrant view of the path between the Library and Greenwich and of the bird feeders and the fairy ring. Laundry facilities are near at hand. Renovated for Fall 2008, the mod contains exciting features such as textured white walls, a bathroom capable of looking clean after being cleaned, and a real porch with a real step up to the porch. Spring Semester and the end of the Fall semester make it harder to live in this mod because the snow, mud and ice between the pavement leading to the donut and your main entrance. The fact that a laundry room is in this same building definitely makes up for that inconvenient fact.

Home to the HC Immigrant Solidarity Network's 3 signers. Much work done here. Such place to chill. Wow couch. Incredible republican Jesus. Wow. Very Chu. So pro-Palestine. Such wow. Very so. Much much.

Mod 16 is the new home of Hampshire's most controversial rap group, The Feminists, who have been forced to live with an intern to keep their shit in line.

As The Feminists' punishment for offending the entire Hampshire community, they have agreed to make eggs for the three lovely ladies they'll be cohabiting with at least five mornings per week.

THE NUNNERY: =

After winning the final 4-person mod in the epic, sweaty battle known as the Housing Lottery, our heroines Cassy Muster, Ximena Kilroe, Kelsey Langkammer, and Lizzy Dorrell joined forces with the mysterious intern Nick Marshall to claim Mod 16 as their own. Future plans for the mod include dino nuggets, America's Next Top Model, a virtual cornucopia of Christmas lights, and extremely close relations with the future residents of Mod 22.

F09 - S10
What shall the new year bring? Probably a lot of Div III stress and gluten-free baking. Kate, Julia, and Tabitha are bound to continue the legacy of Mod 16, while new faces (Heather Patrick and Rachel Becker) grace the double, bringing with them nose rings and artistic energy.

F08 - S09
With the coming of the F08 school year, Aliya graciously departed from her Greenwich post to reign in the kingdom of Northern Enfield, bringing along her trusty compatriots from Mod 16, besides Julie and Kerianne who freakin' graduated or something. The noble Kate Rodman assumed the intern post and readily appointed Julia Partington as Official Officer of Women's Health and Gluten-free Affairs. She nominated Tabitha Boschetti as First Admiral of Filling the Living Room With Cardboard For a Class or Something. The group soon enlisted Trevor LeBlanc as a rare specimen of a Hampshire student who enjoys math, and in the fall, they received the greatest back-to-school shopping bonus ever in the form of Mike Wolf, whose skills of making speedy dinners in order to get to rehearal on time had before been thought to be merely an urban legend. With the spring, change came for Mod 16, and Tabitha left for a program in New York that turned out to be a pretty bad program unfortunately...but a new hope dawned for Mod 16 with the arrival of Aaron Engelman, who told stories long into the night about when Bera was little.

The year brought tribulation, from the Banishment of Wooden Utensils to the time when Phys Plant made it so that the stove vent could only be turned on high, and made the light turn on too. The year also brought many visits from non-graduated former residents and joyous gifts of joyful stuff. All the while, Milton kept his watchful gaze on the long sagas that played out in the mod, as well as that kickin' view toward the library.

F07 - S08


Our intern and mod fashion director, the remarkable Aliya Bonar, resides on the first floor. Her mod duties include the careful timing of all ten-minute naps, dancing away the '90s, and construction of all teepees.

Official mod filmmaker, videographer, and photographer, Joe Fenstermaker resides in 16D. He vacuums a lot, eats a lot of cupcakes, and drives many exciting places in his Subaru Legacy.

Double residents and Div IIIs Kerianne Haar and Julie Evans are pretty damn hot.

Elizabeth Buchanan lives there too.

Perhaps more significant then the official residents of Mod 16 are the inanimate objects and non-human animals that occupy a central position in the mod. Start spending time here, and you soon may find yourself sitting on Lenora, dancing with Klaus, fomenting revolution with Che, pooping with Pedro, having a parade with Baby Doggie Santa, sitting in the corner with Milton, or eating dinner with Zipper

Adventures
Mod 16 residents used to live on F4 in Dakin, and so their adventures are a long standing element of their friendship. Adventures have included trips to Vermont at midnight, Rendezvous in Tuners Falls with Found Magazine, random trips to the airport with large cardboard sunglasses, and, of course, countless sojourns to the Lady Killigrew and Montague Bookmill. Other adventures have included dumpster diving for art, going to Target, Trader Joe's and Big Y; however this sort of adventure is far more mundane yet can be made exciting! On one such adventure Joe was sent to buy cake mix for some delicious Noely Cupcakes. He returned from Stop &amp; Shop at midnight bearing 10 boxes of cake mix. Mod 16 has enjoyed the ensuing months of joyous cupcake eating.

Mod 16 residents Kerianne Haar and Julie Evans have for the last two years engaged in a tradition of making cinnamon rolls at two in the morning at the end of the Fall semester and then taking them to their Airport Lounge monitor shifts for all the hard-studying night owls.

The Story of The Map
Britton told us, "Hey, if you feel that map when you're high, it's really cool." As we are currently Sub-free, we have not yet confirmed that report, but it's a pretty awesome map. When Kristian played the map game, he correctly guessed "Asia," although he could have been more specific. (He was in Tibet.) On David's turn, he guessed that he was in Japan, which was wrong, but when Kristian reminded him about the lemurs, he quickly rectified his ways and identified his location as Madagascar.
