Tropical storm force confusion

Damn it's crowded today. First day of classes. Lines out the door for parking and tuition, lots of lost little freshman lambs milling about aimlessly. And the endless questions. But it hasn't been too bad so far - they brought back the soda shack, but sadly, no ice cream. Plus, it seems hurricane Ernesto isn't bearing straight for us like we thought all weekend. Which is good, 'cause as much as I'd like to see the mad scramble to evacuate our new throng of underage-drinking-hard-partying residence hall inhabitants, I have windows to be put in and a hurricane just wouldn't be convenient right now. And I'm feeling good, since I don't have much going on at work.

And, just because I need some reason to post this...wait - I'm posting this. I don't really need a reason. So. Nevermind.

*chuckle*

thats a good quote though, I find it very useful when ppl question me about my...um, pursuit of science versus my religious beliefs. yes, ppl, one person can hold all that in and not explode. yes, it is possible.

I likee those dinosaur cartoons, I must add them to my daily repetoire of cartoon-reading.

I just liked the idea of shouting "Keep running Quaker".

No, no. More like "Free beer for everyone!!" - bet that would get their attention.

Oh. Right. How about "Ten page term paper and fiftenn minute presentation due for your first class today!! And NO free beer!" at about 5:00 am when they've all just stumbled into their rooms and gone to sleep?
