1. Exam, exam, exam, quiz, quiz, homework, project, project.....well thats pretty much how it went. This week was hell week for just about everyone I know and with the onset of THON people were getting quite tired of ridiculous workloads and the over scheduling of exams which brings up todays advice to professors:
IF you don't enjoy teaching....then stop. This is all I am going to say thank you for listening.
2.THON!!
So it was my first THON this weekend and it was quite the sight to behold:
I only went for the last 4 hours and I must commend all the crazy people who were dancers, moralers, Rules and regs and so on for their intense dedication and hardwork. Being in that crowd at the tail end of a marathon like this was moving. Moments like this really show the bright side of Penn State that is often forgot when football players are getting arrested, riots are being started, and serial masturbaters are haunting campus newspapers.3. The coolest police officer ever
Whilst myself and friends were RAWKing our faces off on friday evening thanks to Guitar Hero: World Tour at the hour of 11:30ish a certain song came on that inspired the mexican in me to jump to life: "La Bamba". No one wanted to sing this song so I assumed responsibility and quickly began to own the shit out of the song. People were jumping around, the drummer was sweating bullets, the guitarists were on their knees and in general we melted the faces off the digital crowd that lay before us. Then the cops got involved.
A knock was heard on our front door at the conclusion of the song...afer high fives were exhanged that is. Lo and behold the asshole neighbors downstairs who have nothing better to do than call teh cops on us at 11:30 on a friday night had let the pigs loose once again. I was preped to deal with another asshole cop who was all kinds of ready to abuse their power by making us feel like complete dicks for singing la bamba on a friday night but something about this one was different.
First off...he showed respect for us! He introduced himself and said "So which one of you were singing La Bamba....cuz that was really bad. In fact you may want to stop". We had a nice conversation about how he was going to give us a warning during which I invited him in to play with us. I also cleared up some compatability issues with him that applies to the new rockband/guitar hero equipment and he actually encouraged us to drink more beer instead of singing La Bamba. He was a nice dude and because of that we quited down willingly and without bitching...except about the crazy people downstairs.
So. Officer Whatsurname if your reading this. Thank you for being a cool dude. Hope we never see you again.
Thats it for now folks. Thanks for sticking around through a longer than usual post, i just had some crazy stories to cover.
