I might make a nice graphic and add a few more as I think of them. Enjoy.
- Coming home to my freshman (Christian) roommate, Ariel, and swearing that I’d had a sign from “above” about my pantheistic religious pursuits and she claimed it was the devil. (Fall 2000)
- The last day of CPT 135, my lab TA taught lecture and tried locating me in the 300-person lecture because he thought i should give the final exam review to the class. After roaming the aisles, saying “minhee mccut-han”, he found me slouched down in my seat and told me i would give the review as soon as he got the projector working. Minutes after he arrived back at the front of the room and had his back turned, I darted out the back door. (Spring 2001)
- Wearing my new black coat with hot pink lining inside-out while walking to Physics from Windsor and having 2 sorority girls gasp at me and say “OMG”. (Spring 2002)
- My 8 hour conversation with Steve in Tarkington’s lobby, during which a drunk guy played Piano Man for us and a group of guys came down and played with Barbies…don’t ask, cuz i don’t know. (Spring 2002)
- My first college field trip to Wisconsin to see Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesen. Left at 5am. (Fall 2000)
- Trying to break ties with this annoying girl and her telling me that we had too much in common to not be friends. EEK! (Spring 2001)
- Zach and John taking a college day to visit me. John fell asleep in the class I took them to and later, John started scouring these bushes in the middle of campus. We thought he was looking for a place to take a leak, but actually, he was looking for Ginko tree seeds. (Fall 2000)
- The first day of class I got completely lost going to my first class and ended up in the middle of the Ag campus, because I had too much pride to get out my mortar board. I still made it to class on time. (Fall 2000)
- In Windsor circle, I saw a squirrel jump off the edge of a building and do a belly flop straight down into a bush, because he didn’t quite get enough umph to make it to the nearby tree. (Read post, Spring 2003)
- In STAT 301T, my instructor said “Not all scatter points are created equally” and “You have to be careful with extrapolation. It’s DANGEROUS!” (Fall 2002)
- I skipped my morning classes and went to the Farm Progress Show, held in Lafayette, with Matt Branham at 7am. (Fall 2001)
- In CGT 251, I wrote “OMG god poser” on my attendance card, thinking Nishant, not Mohler gathered the cards. Mohler was apparently amused when he heard the story. (Read post, Fall 2002)
- My COM 114H TA told us the origin of the word ‘FUCK’ for our class discussion. (Read post, Spring 2001)

- My apartment flooded at the height of CG project time, so I had to move my apartment into my car and live with a neighbor for a week. (Fall 2003)
- Night in Windsor when I walked in to a stall and heard a mix of guy and girl “sounds” from the stall by the window after I’d already started my business. Officially, the most awkward pee of my life. (Spring 2003)

- In PSY 120, my professor got entirely too detailed about how the painting over her boyfriend’s couch made her feel…(Spring 2001)
- Going to the Finding Nemo afternoon matinee with Nishant, and him getting embarrassed because I out-laughed the crowd of little kids. Well, “whale talk”, seriously, I just couldn’t hold it in. (Summer 2003)
- Sneezing while sitting in my dorm room w/ the door closed, and some random girl in the hall yelling “bless you”, to which I replied “thanks!”. Probably the only time I talked to any of my neighbors that year. (Spring 2003)
- Coffee with Matthew and our conversation in the freezing cold accompanied by a visit from drunk beggers. (Spring 2004)
- Valentine’s Day weekend with Jenna & Matthew - food, drinks, and star trek. (Spring 2004)

- Coming back from spring break sophomore year with jet black hair and people asking if i had done something different with my hair! (Spring 2002)

- My new friend Gretchen & I tape-recorded our art history professor b/c we thought his voice should be shared with the world. He got on his tip-toes and held out his arms and fluttered his fingers like wings when he got excited about a certain piece of art, along w/ a noticeable octive change in his voice.
- Watching my 60+ year old German physics prof get on a small bicycle and propel himself across the room with his oxygen tank jet pack or something. hehe yeah, he wasn’t even my professor. I attended 2 physics lectures in a row every MWF…(Fall 2001)
- Eating at Owen with Nate and having a 15-minute stick fight in the lawn afterward. (Spring 2002)
- Seeing our 411 project sponsor get tickled pink as he watched our kick-ass presentation. (Spring 2004)

- I had a cough for 8 weeks so I finally had my first visit to PUSH, where they inaccurately diagnosed me with asthma. To this day, I think it was just a nervous cough. I still do it. eek i just did! (Fall 2003)
