It’s a FMyLife site made just for Georgia Tech. Yes, I spent the last 2 hours on that site instead of studying for my big Constructing Proofs test. Whoever came up with the site is genius ^_^. Gotta love Tech….
Just a dash of the hilarity that you would only understand if you went to Tech^_^:
- I witnessed a guy cross the street during busy traffic and upon asking him what he was thinking, he responded with, “Well, if I get hit by a Stinger, I get free tuition, and if I don’t live, my roommate gets free tuition!” Only at Tech.
- Everyone knows the Brittain Orange Challenge. You swipe oranges from Brittain and hurl them as hard as you can towards Bobby Dodd and try to make it over. You need to be running approximately 5 m/s before and the initial velocity of the orange must be approximately 30.3 m/s to succeed.Only at Tech
- We’re at a school where women are like parking spaces: all the good ones are taken, and the rest… handicapped… Only at Tech
- Three weeks prior to the launch of Windows 7, if I told any of my friends that I was using Vista they would laugh at me an respond, “You’re STILL using Vista?” Only at Tech.
- Its 1:40 in the morning and a fire alarm went off. The majority of the people outside are fully dressed and some have their laptops. Like me who’s sending this in. Only at Tech
I was sitting in the student organizations room on one of the comfy couches talking to my friend Michael when he said something amazing. What would it be like if we could turn our every day life into a sitcom?
You’d be surprised how many crazy things happen in the CoC. Ajai alone is “an indian incarnation of an energy drink.” Michael’s going to become president of the United States someday to pad his resume so he can work for Microsoft or Google. We have a staff member who’s an ex-NFL player, one who’s an improv comedian, one who’s been on the Colbert report… there are so many interesting people here.
A story format could be interesting. I’ve kind of tried it before… and it could be fun (To check out that effort of a story post about my life, click here). I’d probably use code names though…. to protect everyone’s privacy. The only down side is that I don’t really have access to a production studio (I mean, so many people do, right? *please pick up on the sarcasm *), so I’ll settle for a blog… for now . I think I’m going to try it… so stay tuned! … this is craziness…
Ummm.. okay. X_x … Yeah, so the schedule I wanted is nowhere near what I ended up getting. The classes I wanted just filled up way to quickly! To all the prospective students out there, this is where transfer credits come in handy. If you can get slightly ahead of your group, you can register before them and get the classes you want. However, some of my college classes I took in high school didn’t transfer, so I’m slightly behind in credit hours compared to my incoming class and the fact that they can register a full day before me is killing me. I need the same classes, but they get to go first. I mean, it’s my fault. I’m behind. I should have taken more hours in previous semesters to make up for things… and the 6 credit hours I got from taking classes in Spain over the summer don’t transfer until after spring registration. …. grrr
Pictured LEFT: Schedule I wanted…
Pictured RIGHT: Schedule I may end up having (filled with classes that don’t necessarily do me any good… except for free electives)…. and just as a side note, but of them are missing about 4 hours worth of film screenings X_x
*sign * … I set up a meeting with my adviser (CM has a really good adviser; <3 her ^_^) so hopefully that helps. I also put in some overrides, so … there’s still time to fix it …
As the Women@CC Chair, I may be a little biased, but Phantasma was amazing!! It may have been one of the best CoC student organizations events this semester. So many people came, everyone seemed to be getting really involved with the contests and games and seemed to be having fun.
It started to rain, so we had to resort to our rain location in the Klaus Atrium. This was actually our first choice of location, but because there was another event that didn’t end until 3p, we out it down as a back-up. It’s a good thing we did because we couldn’t have had the entire event outside. We only had an hour to set up, but so many people came to help out. It all pulled together really well.
We had so many pther participating student organizations. The face painting and caricatures was sponsored by Gourd, the Chubby Bunny food eating contest sponsored by UPE, the FIREwall did Musical Chairs, M@CC did the Trick or Treat Roulette game, and SAB and CISCO brought Trivia. When I took the position of Women@CC Chair, one of my main goals was to bring the student organizations more together to bring more people together. This event makes me happy ^_^.
Need a break from your classes? Procrastinating on homework anyway?
Come take a break with the College of Computing Student Organizations at the Women@CC’s annual Fall Festival event, Phantasma! This year, we’re even partnering up with SAB’s Trivia Night to bring in even more fun!
Come join us for FREE food, cool prizes, pumpkin carving contest, food eating contest, caricatures, the dance-floor, face-painting, music, our sweets making station (caramel apples, chocolate, white chocolate, fruit…), pizza, cotton candy, trivia, and so much more! Wear a costume or bring a pie to automatically be entered to win the costume contest or pie baking contest to be judged by the faculty and staff.

Soooooo… the Women@CC we’re supposed to go Apple Picking today for the apples for the Phantasma apple station, but several of us (yeah… including me) are really sick with the flu. I wish I had gotten a flu shot. They’re free to Georgia Tech Students at the Health Center, but I never got around to it. Now I’ve gotten the flu twice this season. Mental note to self…. go get a flu shot when I get better X_x.
We WON!! Georgia Tech won against Virginia Tech 28-23, then rushed the field and tore down the goalpost. It took a while but they eventually got it, it finally tore down after the 4 minute 15 mark of the second video. The third video is our president George “Bud” Peterson accepting the goalpost as a present .
For the Homecoming concert, Third Eye Blind performed in the Burger Bowl on campus! Despite the cold weather, there was a great turn out and the music was amazing!
Our Homecoming Display! The guys did such a great job putting this together. They worked from 8:00p until almost 4 in the morning (event rules only gives them from 8:00p – 10:00am to work on it), and have some adorably awesome displays to show for their hard work. Also, you may not be able to see it from these pictures, but there’s a picture of our interim CoC Dean Foley on the side of the train. He’s known for loving trains ^_^.
Two of our guys participated in the Clown Relay where they not only had to wear clown suits (shoes, nose, and all), but go through obstacles and do challenges such as hoola hooping, juggling, jump-roping and more. (Second pic = me happy for homecoming ^_^)
We won our division of The Great Clown Car Act!! One team we watched fit almost 20 girls in their 6ft x 4ft x 4ft box! At least they weren’t in our division ! We fit 12 with plenty of room to spare, but not enough volunteers. However, the ones that did participate were wonderful and got in with amazing quickness so that we took home 1st place in our category!
