What I've learned so far in college. By: Evan on 10/21/2001; 3:20 PM I just started LSU on Monday and I've already learned quite a bit. 1. Get there two hours early because parking is very bad. 2. Chick-a-fila food is good when eaten but not when I throw it up two minutes later. 3. One of my teachers had a washing machine that was possessed by a demon (or so he said in his lecture to the class). 4. Stracchus (not at all certain on spelling) is the Roman God of manure. 5. If you name your car it is less likely to breakdown according to the teacher who had the possessed washing machine. 6. The LSU campus has something against road signs. Very rarely is it easy to figure out where you are without a map, or like I was yesterday, with a map that has dissolved to mush due to the rain and due to that fact I spent and hour and fifteen minutes finding my car. 7. People in dorms are not allowed to ignite or blow up anything for some reason. 8. The bigger the class, the smaller the desks are. It gets to the point where there is virtually no writing surface. 9. You can vomit into a chick-a-fila chicken nuggets box so that nobody in the crowded eating area will notice. 10. Campus toilet paper leaves a burning sensation long after using it. I think I'm going to have to avoid bowel movements there at all costs. 11. Don't put barbecue sauce packets in your booksack. 12. Don't use your booksack as a chair if you have barbecue sauce in it. Its quite all right to publish this.

If you name your car it is less likely to breakdown according to >the teacher who had the possessed washing machine. Well, that settles it. My first car's name will be Akio. (Well, considering the connotation of "Akio Car," probably not. Okay, then, Washuu-chan.) >6. The LSU campus has something against road signs.

They didn't have those little yellow signs around that I saw today? >7. People in dorms are not allowed to ignite or blow up anything >for some reason. Jeez. They gotta have a regulation for *everything* these days. >8. The bigger the class, the smaller the desks are. It gets to the >point where there is virtually no writing surface. Bring your own. >9.

You're sure about this, now... (PS, to Morgan: Okay, I'm using Eudora. It doesn't suck. :-P Edit: But it sent the "Do You Yahoo!" anyway. I've removed it.) Oh, and Evan, what dorm are you in?

Re: What I've learned so far in college. By: Evan on 8/29/2001; 9:16 PM I'm not actually in a dorm, I'm still living at home for the moment, I will probably move into a dorm either next semester or sophomore year. I'm going to be helping my family prep for moving into our new house in Baton Rouge. I know about the burning and explosive rule because somebody mentioned that they have an illegal toaster oven and I asked how their toaster oven was contraband. As for road signs, they do seem to have them, except at the specific intersections where I need to figure out which road I'm supposed to walk down.
Re: What I've learned so far in college. By: Evan on 8/29/2001; 9:19 PM Thank you. I may add more stuff as it comes along Oooh I do have one more thing to add. I'll just edit it though since its probably not worth a whole post about.

You had me laughing out loud, I loved it. Evan, you need a journal to chronicle your freshman year.
You can have one on Unreason
(they're an experiment I'm trying out, may not last), or you can just
sign up for a free
Conversant site and start your own.
They're fun.
