Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If I have class at 8 am what time should I stop drinking beer?
 
Yea. Puffs of smoke came off and the things held together, and it was all shiny - they let out surprised "whoaaas!" It was kinda cool - you forget how the simple things you are used to / seems every day to you - is really not that everyday - even to other college kids...

To clarify - these are like hard core liberal arts kiddies - not very sciencey 🙂

Ha, you're forgetting it wasn't always so simple to solder stuff! I remember in one of my classes, my chip wasn't inserted into the board fully, so when I soldered the pins, the solder seeped to the other side and connected two pins. The two pins happened to be the power pin and an address pin that connected directly to one of the processor's address pin.... Needless to say, my processor was fried pretty quickly, and I had to take a W in that class because it was during the middle of the semester and every lab was successively built on that same board. 🙁

oh damn that's nasty! Sorry man 🙁

It's definitely a rite of passage thing to completely blow up your board because of a bad solder job... but being forced to take a W for it - damn!

In other news - it's bed time for me too. But tomorrow's an exciting day for me because it's one of the few "lull" days I get this week. whoo! 😀
 
Go spurs, nice placement of the twss. I think that went below the radar, so I just want you to know that it is well appreciated.

Edit: My B, I meant bobfish. I guess you aren't as appreciated as I thought you were. Err, well, I noticed the twss, but not the avataor or the name. Whatever, you get my drift. Nice thats what she said.

Ha, I had other reasons too. For example, I spent the ENTIRE spring break, like 12+ hours a day, rebuilding that board, only to find out that the midterm was right after the break and I didn't study enough for it 🙁 I retook the course and made an A easily tho 😀
 
Part of me wishes I was a ME major so I could at least change my own oil and not feel like a pansy useless shotty handyman. Then the other part of me realizes I'll be making enough money to go to the dealership to get my oil changed as a physician.

I wonder what major ends up with the hottest trophy wives? Why are there no studies on such things, where are my tax dollars going?
 
I saw a girl who is pre-med studying the effects of ethanol on mice. She literally made the mice drink ethanol alcohol that was like 70% and had a bunch've sugar in it. And then she watched them. If she publicizes would med-schools take that kind've study seriously?

And like you know how the H. Pylori guy, I think his name was Dr. Marshall, but you know how he drank the H. Pylori virus in order to test his hypothesis or something like that. Could I maybe drink some Lithium Chloride to get a publication? Man I need a publication badly.

Probably whatever BS major all the really good athletes major in.

I would have a feeling that the guys with the hottest trophy wives didn't even go to college or dropped out.

well changing oil is really easy, but i'd love to be able to diagnose my car, like why the fudge is it shaking so much when it's idling 🙁

See athletes getting trophy wives is expected. But believe me man, I was at Nordstrom's the other day, and there were some attractive older women shopping and not all of them could've been athletes wives. Plus, I've seen wayy too many convertibles with a fat guy and a dime wife.

Changing oil is easy, if you're not scared of whats under your hood. I think my oil filter is deep under my turbo charger, and I don't feel like going under my car at all.

If it's shaking in idle make sure you watch the rev meter, maybe your fuel injector is leaking or your engine block could not be as sturdy. Any car under $40k usually has shaking issues, whether it's the dash or the lining of the ceiling. I wish I was good at driving manuals, I need to take my dad's porsche on the highway some time and use that turbo man, my dad never floors it and I feel like the turbo will have lost it's lubrication if it's not used.
 
If we're not counting athletes and rockstars I would guess Business or something like that.

Well WTF are we waiting for, lets publicize? This could be a huge breakthrough. I would've thought poly sci, or pre-law or something. All those politicians have tight spouses.

I wonder what it would take to be a "regular" person and be able to date a celebrity... Like lets say I make $60k a year and am a 7/10 guy, hypothetically, what are my chances of dating a celebrity?

Man this is such an unexplored area of science.
 
I'm here!

My oatmeal phase is dying. I think I've only had it maybe 2 or 3 times in the past week.
 
I'm eating ice cream.

Though I really want a hot dog.

Actually what I really really want is boneless spare ribs but I'm not in Boston and can't have those delivered right now
 
UMMMM, making me hungry too, I'm gonna go nuke a burger.



fickle woman, what happens when your marriage phase is dying after a couple weeks!

Who said I'd make it as far as marriage? :eyebrow:

I used to eat hot dogs sometimes at the dining hall. Then they started to gross me out all of a sudden. I've kind of turned into a vegetarian because I don't trust the meat there, but now that I live in an apt I only cook chicken.

OH, EM, GEE, I tooootally forgot I had ice cream too!
 
Why am I still awake?

Oh well it doesn't matter. I just need to sit through an hour of class tomorrow at 10:30. Then I'm free for 6 days 😱 until finals. Then 8 days 😱 until graduation. This stuff is far too spaced out.
 
I've thought about going vegetarian for a month, just to see what it's like. Ideas on this?
 
i'm all for people trying new things/challenging themselves just for fun

I'm all for trying new stuff, especially with food. But vegetarianism is not for me. I hate vegetables and I can't eat fruit fast enough unless it's black/rasp/strawberries (which are too expensive and I eat them all in a day).
 
oh, and I'm watching Road to Perdition and it's awesome. Sooo underrated.

Not a fan of that one for some reason.

I've never seen a midnight showing of anything. 🙁 I don't think I've ever been THAT excited for a movie that I need to get there early and stand in line for several hours.


Well, hopefully you won't say that about your med school when you graduate!

Now that you can buy tickets online, it's actually not so bad. I usually show up like 30 minutes before the movie starts.

My last undergrad class is tomorrow!

:soexcited:

👍

OK then. Guess I'll go to bed.

night

I actually might be applying to be on the Baylor adcom next year 🙂

Not that it helps you. If we meet this summer, can I still have some Jack? 😀

👍

I already told you man, start with the sparkplugs (and wires) and fuel filter. Should take you a couple hours.

pfft, it's in your genes to get married.

upon first glance, i thought you said you used to eat dogs sometimes...i was like, you twofaced...!

it also depends how crowded the theater is and how popular the movie is. you can buy your ticket in advance, but you don't want to be the last one there and get stuck with a seat in the very front row or have your whole group split up
 
do it. why not?

I say do it. Couldn't hurt.

I couldn't go vegetarian for more than 2 days, probably.

I don't think I get the right amount of nutrients now, so cutting meat out might make it even worse? I don't know. I do love me some tofu though.

I think I'm going to do it once med school starts! (I have every intention of stuffing myself this summer with my mom's cooking. 😛)

me too. mmmmmmmmmm food
 
well you're not limited to just fruits and vegetables (i mean, i know a fair number of vegetarians who actually have a very low intake of veggies :laugh:). i think with dairy, bread and any tofu or soy stuff you want to try (if that's your thing), you've got some options.

i think you could survive a week as a vegetarian

I could, but I don't want to. :laugh:

I would probably eat too much dairy and just screw up my digestive system, combined with paying $500 for a week's worth of blackberries and raspberries.

My gf is a vegetarian that doesn't eat many fruits and vegetables and I could NOT have her diet. She eats like 4 different things.

I understand. Sometimes I just crave a big juicy steak. Other times, though, meat just grosses me out.

haha i've noticed that this is true for many vegetarians

I just remembered I have some of these in my fridge! They're gonna go bad soon so brb.

It's kind of annoying when I want to go out to eat at someplace ethnic or different. Vacation food is kind of complicated, too, since I want to explore the different stuff but it might not have anything she eats. Worse case scenario she will eat a caesar salad, but she would prefer not to. :laugh:
