So...last night around 2:30am, there was a person that decided to go make a early morning sncak in the kitchen...only to set off all the fucking fire alarms in the building off...not really thinking at the time of the morning I only slipped on shoes and grabbed my coat (unfortunately, I left my glasses and keys to get back into the room on my desk..)

The culprit has yet to come forward...and I swear I'll kick their ass. Thankfully it wasn't on a particular day where I had to be up early the next day. I'm pretty damn sure I would've skipped class.

Not really ready for exams...I only have two "classroom" exams (Math and Speech), and the rest...well let's say professors are 110% more lazy than any high school teacher.

English Professor "Okay guys...I'm technically supposed to give you an exam, but you can just 'hand in' your last paper on Wed. and that will count. I really don't want to drive in the heavy traffic from Milwaukee to Whitewater at 1pm in the afternoon" Right...becuase everyone's brother and sister drives from Milwaukee to U- Dub Dub in the afternoon...w/e :)

So for new student seminar, we have to do this "Guess who's coming to dinner?" thingy for a grade. Basically, you get "formally" invited to come over to a professor's house somewhere in the corn field and eat dinner; practicing proper etiquette at the same time.

Knowing that the dean of students teachers our section of the class, she sort of plays favorites. For some reason, she has this knack for me...don't worry...she's married...

Anyhow, I got an E-mail from the assistant secretary for the chancellor saying that we (4 of us kiddos) have been invited over to ger house Tuesday Night for dinner...oh shit...All four of us are like "okay....now what?"

I'm just happy I'll be receiving REAL meal! :) She's from the southern region so I'm expecting something fried with a sweet potato pie....

To be quite honest, I'm glad Whitewater has the textbook rental program included in your tuition. It'd be nice to have your own textbook don't get me wrong, but most of the courses I signed up for this semester don't really go with the textbook.

I'm not saying I don't read the text for my classes, becuase I do read. Basically, I've found that most exams I've taken don't cover a whole lot of textbook material. I guess this also depends on who you have for a professor as well. Most of mine would rather give their two cents rather than have us read what Bob Smith had to say (however, Bob Smith is usually only the editor of the textbook who hunts down other people's work so he can cite them for his sources. He brings up the concept and uses other people's work to save his ass, which is fine as long as you give credit where credit is due)

Somehow figured out it was creative writing day here when I went to Drumlin, realized that it would take me 30min just to get food, and then leaving and seeing Mr. Gould out of the corner of my eye...THE HORROR!!! THE HORROR!!! I totally forgot how much common sense some high schoolers lack. "OMG!!! Like they have groups for gays, lesbians, and tree huggers! Isn't that illegal?"

DER!!! It's college...you can basically do whatever you want, as long as the right people are pocketing your money :)

Well, it was bound to happen soon (actually it should of happened a looooong ass time ago, but there's no legal age for which you must retire, unless you have a specific job like a pilot) but while watching my favorite tv show the other day...

Folks, it's been a great 35 years and now at the end of June I, (Bob Barker) will be retiring from The Price Is Right.

For the Record...he will be 83 in December

IMO: This show is going to crash. We thought it was bad when Rodney passed away and they hired the new "announcer" guy, but who the fuck can replace Bob Barker?

Anyhow.....

I'm starting to wonder how some specific people got into college. Granted Whitewater isn't that difficult to get into compared to Madison (I'm talking requirement-wise) but there are people here that I'm just dumbfounded.

Current Mood: busy

There are people around here that are getting really teste. Whoever said college wasn't full of drama needs to fucking die.

None of the problems are even mine, but I have to be "stuck in the middle" while everyone else has their own fucking 5 year old moments. It's really getting to be an anal irritation!

Will Probably be home this weekend, but I'm going to a wedding, so technically I won't be home. Oh well...we can't fucking win them all now can we?

What exactly is the thrill of underage drinking? Do these children get a rush from being chased by the cops? Do they want $500 fucking tickets for vandalism, obscene noise, and disturbing the peace?

Well..that's just what half the damn floor recieved last night, and they all want to go out and do it again toight...WTF!?!?!?!?!?!? I just don't get it. Not to mention its fucking family weekend here!!!

I REALLY love when they get caught and they come to the other peoplr on the floor crying and shaking because they don't know what to do since the university automatically calls your parents as part of the no tolerance policy.

They have all the fun now so what do they fucking expect when they turn 21? Do they want to get arrested???

I really don't know what to do...my roommate is involved in this whole thing and I believe only got a warning...and you'd think his mindset would be to just stop but...

"God...It was a great night...I hope I can do it all over again tomorrow"

I totally have a different mentality of him now. In my opinion...he's going to get nowhere in life. He's not cut out to be a teacher.

Maybe I'm just stupid and don't see the picture, but if this keeps up...I really don't want to be in the middle of this situation. The college of education is really stict here. One screw-up and you blew it, don't exoect to get in.

I also don't get why these kids drop this money to fucking come to college. Take my roommate for example... he's from Illinois and has dropped $7500 for this semester alone, wants to get good grades..do something that fucking stupid and then worries becuase his parents now know what he did. DER!!!!!!!!

So I was already aware of the fact that people in Illinois had there own regionalism...

Water Fountain vs Bubbler
Pop vs Soda
etc etc...

But apparently it's a Wisconsin thing to say the Tyme Machine...

Me: Hey Ali, do you know if there's a tyme machine in Drumlin?
Ali: *confused* huh?
Me: A tyme machine
Ali: What?

Then enters the boy across the hall (who's apparently from WI)

"There's a tyme machine in the basement of Drumlin, but it doesn't work...

Ali: Guess you're not traveling to the future today (she honestly meant it!!)
Me: HUH!?!? You boob!! The tyme machine is where you deposit your bank card to recieve money.
Ali: Oh...an ATM?
Me: Sure...only it's a Tyme Machine

This then led to asking everybody else from IL on the floor to see if they knew what one of these contraptions were.

Bought my Rocky ticket today...I'm kinda excited to go.

Homecoming's around the corner and the theme is "Warhawk Soundcheck". Since our dorm (Lee) is connected with the complex next to us (Fricker) we came up with a top quality idea..."I'm In Love With Lee/Fricker" Unfortunately...we were unable to put a stripper on our homecoming shirts...it's the thought that counts.

Currently our complex is in first place for the residence halls spirit trophey. Most likely becuase the complex is freshmen minority and we actually care to give effort towards the damn cause.

Current Mood: amused

As if facebook hasn't already fucking made our lives miserable....they want to open the site to anyone!!!

And I quote from the newly formed "Facebook should stay open to college peeps and alumni ONLY:"

Oh Shit....does the internetz really need another myspace filled with little 12 year old kids saying that they are 18 years old, graduate in 2015 and have $500,000+ a year salary...Hellz no! Let "emo"space take care of that and leave facebook alone!!! Hasn't facebook already crossed the line with the stupid news feed shit????

Yes!!! I know it's a rant...but as I stated...we have myspace for the wanna-be emo 12 year olds :) No need to subject them to pwn and rape a really good site.

Current Mood: bouncy

For those of you who don't know yet, the center of the whole damn campus is demolished, which means the student union center (University Center) no longer exists...the next best place to go is Jitters, a coffee/social gathering area with bands, comedians,ect...

Of course, we get their to find it's CLOSED! WTF!?!?!?!?!? Here you are on a Thursday night where everyone on campus is getting hammered but our little group of people and one of the only fucking places left to go is closed! We need a starbucks around here badly. Too bad the closest one is like 40 min away. I swear to god I'm having Starbuck withdrawls!

Next random topic of the day...the girl down the hall asks me to help with her math assignment. Okay fine. She's in math 90 (beginning algebra) and they are working on solving equations like 3x=6 (stuff that I did back in 6th grade) Anyhow..she gets to a question and asks me what 6x4 is...I at first think she is kidding, but to my surprise, she is not. She tells me that she "cheated" on her times table in 3rd grade so she never fully "learned" how to multiply. Oh My God.........so I printed out a HUGE table from the ethernet to give to her. She was gone, so I slipped it under her door. Now I know I'm going to hell....

I wasn't trying to be mean (median or mode) but she didn't quite understand that joke either. This same chick asked me what a "Quotent" was too, and I'd like to know what that is as well (I think she meant quotient, but I'm not too sure).

Other than that, I hope there are some eventful things planned at UWW this weekend, or else...I wish this campus were somewhat like Madison where you can walk out onto a street, and see civilization (like starbucks), unfortunately, I see the Sigma Sigma Sigma Frat House and the Health centers "FREE CONDOMS" sign. If that's not enough, you can get a whiff of cow shit every once in a while.

Did I also mention some person lit one of those HUGE green garbage cans on fire yesterday morning at about 3am? It was on the other side of campus. I swear if I EVER have to get up in an emergency because of someone's stupidity...there's gonna be hell to pay.

Current Location: In my dorm

The first day of actual college experience couldn't have gone any better....it so pwned high school. Woke up at 8:30 to find out...NO LINES FOR THE SHOWERS!!!LOLZ! Usually you wait 10-15 min only to take a 2 min. shower b/c there's 15 other fucking kids in line. It pays to have classes that start later on in the day!

After that, off to Psychology (minus the incompetence of Bobby Belan). She's a very nice professor that puts all of her notes, hw, tests, and quizzes on D2L (the source to get shit from classes @ U Dub Dub). All of her tests and quizzes are open book and notes and you can work with whoever the hell you want to as long as your group hands in individual tests.

Went to lunch with Emalee. Actually decided to drag our asses to the opposite end of campus to Esker hall b/c they have much more of a food selection than Drumin (eventhough Drumlin's right outside my door). It's nice to spend an hour to eat and talk and shit without being rushed to your next class.

The afternoon brought...NOTHING except the ethernet and some much needed sleep :)

Then came math...actually it was sex ed all over again. My math professor is in his 70's and has been teaching on the campus for 25 years now. He always tells his students to be proactive b/c his sister-in-law made wrong choices (did I mention she grew up in the 70's?) Anyhow, she did some things and became infected with herpes, and is now sterile. Her husband is the same way. Only, when it comes time "to squirt" he has pains in his penis (his exact words). He's crazy and you can pretty much side-track the man from just about any math subject. Reminds me of Pattycakes, only not as senile and he doesn't try to dress like the teenage youth today. I love the fact that he does all his assignments over the ethernet. I'M SAVING THE TREES CINDY BRYNE!!! WHAT NOW???

Tomorrow, 3 classes..all in a row from 12:30 until 5:15pm with about a 1/2 hour break inbetween.

Current Mood: good
Current Music: Whatever 305 is blasting down the hall :)
