Priceless bits from the campus

I love my 8:30AM MacroEcon class. I just like the course. But this has nothing to do with the fact that I am hardly ever awake for most of the 1.5 hours. I sit in the front of the lecture hall in a stupefied dazed state for at least 20 minutes. And I take down notes all along. Writing things when your whole system’s falling asleep is just something to laugh at when you’re awake. Last Thursday, I was in my zombie like state and learning all about..well..the IS/LM curves; 10 minutes later I looked down at my notes to read what I had written and I almost burst out laughing. The words had literally melted into squiggles, the number and arrows looked like sine/cosine curves - it just looked like a colony of motile bacteria under the microscope. It was atrociously funny, and it woke me up. Now I will just have to ask Yang for her notes, but I am definitely keeping mine. Yang was going through her Stats notes today and said, "Oh I must have fallen asleep at this point, I can’t read what I wrote." Ah, sleepy university students.

Old man Norman Scott is my human physiology prof. His lecture is usually quite uneventful, at least when I am not day dreaming (how am I surviving university?). Then suddenly, Scott stops walking and talking, straightens his back, takes his glasses off, and looks in some laser straight direction, unblinking and dead quiet. The "death glare" is what that is. When the perpetrator quits talking, the boring lecture resumes. Suppressed giggles and embarrassed looks follow. I haven’t recieved a death glare yet, probably because I am too busy daydreaming and nodding off to talk.

And I hate that stupid plant course. So, in Macro I sleep, in Physio I daydream and/or sleep, in Plants I curse, in International Econ I struggle to decode Cook’s handwriting and in Stats I again struggle to decode Cook’s writing. It’s a miracle I haven’t failed out of university yet.

I was sitting in SLC the morning of the International midterm, when Dude Long Hair stopped by. "I am suprised you don’t have any coffee today." said Long Hair. "Yeah, I am just too lazy to get up right now, and I don’t really NEED coffee, I should learn to survive without it." I responded. "So, what do you take in your coffee?" "Oh just regular, single cream/sugar". "Hmm, alright, well I am off to class." So, he left. 2 minutes later, he came back around with a large regular! I should have realized he was going to get me the life giving liquid when he asked me what I take in my coffee.

So darn sleepy.
