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…
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!
Lol, no worries. It’s one of the Football fan cheers
This Saturday will take on #4 Virginia Tech in Football for our Homecoming game. This is pretty much one of the biggest games for the rest of our season. If we beat them, we can pretty much coast the rest of the time (easy wins) and possibly be number one in the ACC!
Some links John sent me today. They’re pretty much epic. You need to read them (I love these writers; they’re awesome!!):
I so grateful Tech gives us a Fall Break. Even if it’s just two extra days, it really helps with all the homework pile-up and tests coming up and projects to work on and presentations to perfect. Plus, being gone since Tuesday afternoon is a lot to make up and study on your own. I absolutely love the Grace Hopper Conference and have no regrets about going… but wow… that hw/study pile IS kind of scary. Where. To. Start X_x
This morning while on the bus from our hotel to the conference center, I met this really nice lady from the University of Connecticut (If you ever go to a conference, GHC or other, DEFINITELY take advantage of the fact that most of the people there don’t know most of the other people there. Try starting conversations with them. They expect it. You never know who you may meet). We talked about a lot of things… our interests, her research, our experiences. During one point in the conversation she recommended checking out the SIGGRAPH conference during the summer. The Grace Hopper Conference is a general conference focused mainly towards women in the fields of computer science. As a Computational Media major, it’s sometimes hard to find an aspect of the conference that focuses towards what I want to do. As it turns out, the SIGGRAPH conference is a huge conference directed towards computer graphics and animations!! I was so excited. I’m going to definetely check it out.
It started out with just a sore throat… then I got the aches and pains, the shortness of breath, not having the energy to walk from class to class… … then came the coughing, the sneezing, the head and nasel congestion, the “wtf, I feel my ribs are going to crack if I keep coughing”, then the fever and waking up in the middle of the night shivering and sweating up a storm.
I’m not sure if it’s the swine flu or not. Actually, I hope it’s the swine flu. With all the hype on the news about, they made it into a much bigger thing than it is. It’s easier to catch since it’s a new strand, but it’s a much milder version of the flu. Most people have symptoms for a day and then are fine. The regular flu lasts longer and is more severe. Unfortunately, I think I just have the regular flu, but at least I have John to take care of me. He’s been such a sweetie … getting me food, drinks, tissue to blow my nose, cough drops and chapstick… I love my John ^_^.
But it’s all good. I think I’m finally on the recovery side. It’s been a few days of torture, but I think I’m finally getting better. As long as a I get better before Tuesday…Grace Hopper Conference in Tucson, Arizona!!!. SO excited.
