Exams…

With exams finally here, the other students are spending all their time studying, taking exams… and doing weird stuff.

So, apparently, the Doctor finds this school interesting. This is the third time I've spotted the TARDIS just hanging out.

It is getting close to Christmas, but I'm nowhere NEAR London. Eh.

And here's the TARDIS again! There must be some evil aliens running around…

Maybe they're the ones who moved the couch into the elevator.

And bundled up an entire room to give to someone…

Anyway, if I survive exams, that'll be my first semester of college, transgressed with finesse! Wish me luck, and I'll wish a happy holiday season to all of you denizens of the Internet.

Fair winds and following seas and long may your big jib draw.

Alohamora!

I was walking back to my dorm after church today, and I happened to spy a few amusing things written on the whiteboards outside people's rooms.

I thought this was just too cute, while at the same time, it's a fun little reference. And the doodles at the bottom totally made my day.

Apparently, she seriously needs some hot chocolate. And the sheer contradiction of "SOMEONE WILL BE… EVISCERATED!!!!" and the little "Lahve!" under it is hysterical. I love it. XD

May you live in interesting times, and may you find what you're looking for.

So, I was on the phone with my brother…

I like to think I talk to my family a lot. And I do. More than my roommates do, anyway. Anyway, I was on the phone with my little brother, when, all of a sudden, I spot a bug crawling up one of the streamers left over from my birthday three months ago. I described it to my brother, and he decided that he was going to name it a "shield bug".

I did a little research, and guess what? The shield bug, more widely known as a "stink bug", is rather common to this area of the country. I wonder if Baby Brother has psychic powers…

Ah, yes, the wackiness of college. I think college may be the only place where no one bats an eye if you're playing the ukulele while you eat. I freaking love this school.

Yet another reason to freaking love this school. I don't know who came up with the Box Top TARDIS, but it's the funniest thing since sliced bread. And I'll have you know that sliced bread is pretty dang hilarious.

So, I was hanging out with some friends, and one of them suddenly stands up and says that he forgot something in his apartment. He lives right behind the guy who was generously letting us hang at his place, so, he walks out and he's gone for a while. The conversation resumes. Not five minutes later, he walks in with two cans of weird orange Halo Mountain Dew and a champagne flute. He proceeds to pour one of the cans into the champagne flute, sit back on the couch and drink the weird orange Halo Mountain Dew like the smug dude he is. I wish I had a cool champagne flute.

I've been informed that at some point in the near future, I shall be kidnapped and forcibly made to watch Nightmare Before Christmas, which, in front of several of my friends, I made the mistake of mentioning that I hadn't seen. There were some other movies I hadn't seen in there as well, but I don't remember all the titles now. I came to college to learn, and I am… but I also have a long list of movies, tv shows and books that I apparently must experience. Oh well. It should be entertaining.

Move fast, travel light, and never tell them your real name. Better yet, don't have a real name to begin with.

Introduction

You know, you can find the strangest things when you're at college and surrounded by easily bored/entertained students. This blog was created for the sole purpose of chronicling all (or at least most) of the weird or interesting stuff I've seen since I started college in September.

I took this on my first day. Right after I keeled over from the sheer nerdy joy.

This just made me smile.

"Yeah, I think you found my money. How much was there?"

So, this girl gets off the elevator while a friend and I were studying in the third floor lobby. She plunks down the pants, throws the note down on top of it, and walks back to the elevator. They were gone a few hours later.

The likes keep going up. I freaking love this school.

This dog found me and a couple of friends as we were walking back to the dorms. He followed us all the way to the door. We were trying to figure out if he had an owner. We thought he did, since he has a collar and he's well-fed. So maybe he just got out of a yard somewhere?

He's a sweetie, though. Isn't he cute?

Speaking of cute things, this note was taped to the wall the day before Thanksgiving Break started. It was the sweetest thing! Although, I think the most amazing part is that it's still there. No one's removed it yet.

I spotted this on my way to check on a friend. I walked away humming "Don't Worry, Be Happy". This is just so accurate. I think if everyone printed this out and taped it to the wall over their desk, people would be a lot less stressed. I do find myself wondering how they drew such awesome circles, though.

Well, I'm done playing catch-up. The end of the semester is coming up, and so are exams. But I'm sure I'll find some more weird stuff to put up here before we break for Christmas. After all, stressed students need an outlet, right? And at this school, that means some seriously silly stuff will be going down.

May your burdens be light and your troubles few.
