Day 18

I had to stay late on campus doing work tonight and I witnessed something pretty amazing. It appears as though, for security measures, they chain up all of the chairs at night with combination locks.

So... this is what they found the most efficient. In a campus the size of a small town, we are going to chain up all the chairs... with combo locks. Is there someone who knows all of these combinations off the top of their head?
In class, we were looking at various logos to test our recognition of them as a means of understanding branding. When looking at the logo for the Lung Cancer Society:

Someone chimed in "This one looks familiar. It reminds me of Hitler."

Day 17

Today there was almost a cat fight. The Geek very nicely inquired as to whether or not The Squeaky Wheel knew what she was having. Let's be clear:
The Geek: Do you know what you're having?
The Squeaky Wheel: What do you mean? I sent you the lunch menu
The Geek: No no, I mean a boy or a girl.

I know, I know. It's already amazing. But that's not the best part. The best part was her immediate defensive response.

The Geek: No no, I mean a boy or a girl.
The Squeaky Wheel: Whatever, fatty, no one wants to see your tramp stamp!!!

It was awesome.

Day 14

Someone whistled at me today. Like as if it was 1994 and I was a chick walking outside of a strip club, whistled at. At this point, I'll take the compliment.
We are slowly being overloaded with assignments. It's not that they are difficult or anything... just more time consuming... and somewhat degrading based on their simplicity.
The Squeaky wheel leaned across the entire class and asked me "what is the name of that birth control thing... you know, that you get inserted and so you don't have to take the pill?" Dumbfounded. Not because it was such a stupid question, but more because she is more concerned about regular sex than I am.
That wasn't the stupidest question asked... The Broski asked an attractive girl how many calories you would likely burn during sex.

Day 13

The Broski: I'm pretty sure he's Italian, but that might be too diverse to imagine in this single race crowd. He sat in front of me today. His desktop is a picture of him and his 'bro's' at the bar with their tongues out, and he spends all class reading short stories on "tuckermax.com"

I got into a heated debate with Prof Horn Tutor. It was like those times when a drunk guy at the bar wants to discuss politics, and somehow thinks that 'tyranny' and 'Communism' are the same thing and it's useless. This is a pretty annoying thing, but it's almost a hundred times more annoying when that drunk guy is replaced by a professor... in a position of authority. Later that class, he asked if we knew the difference between balance sheet and income statement. The definition he gave was that “one is a snapshot and one is the whole story.” Well that really clears it up.

The Squeaky Wheel asked me if I had ever had the chicken pox. Apparently she has shingles. Again.

The D Bag and I are becoming closer every day. Someone asked Alisha if him and I were an "item" and the Ashley's are hating me more and more as time goes on.

Day 10

Professor Horn Tutor: This dude is out of this world. He pretty much teaches us based on his personal experience, which could be beneficial if he was at all successful. He blames all the world’s problems on the cell phone. I mean that in ever sense of the word. I think he blames natural disasters on mobile devices. Someone was watching a movie on their laptop in class, and he chimed in with “what are you watching? I can’t teach if you’re on your cell phone!” I just don't think that he differentiates between electronics at all, and assumes them all to be cell phones. I can't wait until he comes in to class in a foil hat claiming to block out blackberry data feedback from reading his mind.
We spent today's class discussing his previous job in a lab about mapping the genome. He pronounced “genome” Ja-nome, like jabroni. He said it 19 times in a 5 minute presentation. I counted. He also says “laboratory” like Dexter from Dexter’s lab.
Professor Business School is wearing a Navy shirt with charcoal pants. I am not yet sure if this is acceptable. I am calling GQ.

Day 8

I was tired this morning and decided to wear my university hoodie to class. I should point out that my university has somewhat of a rivalry with this college. I collected a wonderful amount of death stares while marching through the halls.

Today was super interesting. The D bag came into class and sat directly beside me. LT is climbing the social ranks. Soon after him, entered both the Britney's and The Ashely's, who were immediately distraught by this new seating arrangement. The Britney's say in front of me, and the Ashely's directly behind. Ashely's chimed in "What's going on? Are you mad at us?" The D-bag hardly responded and the class went on.
We had a quiz, and The D-bag and I worked together (he copied me) and we got a 95%. (Dammit, my ego-necessary 100% was already slipping). A regular high school love story, the popular guy sitting with the smart girl and copying her work.
I assisted a Britney with her assignment, and figured she might not hate me as much anymore. She does.
While walking to the parking lot with my hood on, I could hear the Ashely's chatting behind me. "What's with D-bag? Why is he mad? He was bitchy over BBM. I guess noooow he wants to sit with his nnnnnnnneewww friend."
Amazing... I am shaking up the status quo and the Ashley's can't take it.

Day 7

I decided to get a locker today so that I can bring a lunch to school and not have to carry it around all day. Well, they tricked me and gave me a locker a good 15 minutes away from my classes. It also didn't help that the locker numbers aren't in order and I did an extra few laps around the building looking for it.

I read one of the the textbooks. Yes... the entire textbook. It had large print and a lot of bright pictures. The most meaty section was the business case. It was for a new band and was to highlight the different between that which we want to sell, and what will sell. The band wanted to play emo music, so they had to decide whether or not this would be beneficial, based on the fact that emo music was only liked by a small market. Case: Should we play emo music?

Case number two: what went wrong? Two partners, Jones and Rose start a soft drink company attempting to revamp soft drinks to make them healthier. They created a comprehensive business plan and stuck to it. Unfortunately, even though they had a large profit margin, and were selling their drinks off the shelves, they lost money. They marketed well and were competing well. Also, Rose was embezzling. What went wrong?
ANY IDEAS, ANYONE?!!!
