At orientation, I learned that I was finally, after years of abstinence, good at Twister. (One of the side effects of having big hands and feet.) The other game is Rock Band, which I played at John&#8217;s house the night after we were at the beach and right before I left for Purdue. I managed 99% on &#8220;Dirty Little Secret&#8221; vocals on medium. It probably stems from my Karaoke predilection. (One of the side effects of being Chinese.)<\/li>\n<li>\nMy unibrow came back even worse because I got rid of it before move-in day. Alex says I should have it waxed like his.<\/li>\n<li>\nOne day a suggestion box popped up in the floor bathroom. I suggested, &#8220;Ignore suggestions&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>There is a mop sink near the elevators. We are supposed to use it for several purposes that we can&#8217;t do in the bathroom:\n<ul>\n<li>storing the floor mop<\/li>\n<li>throwing up in<\/li>\n<li>washing dishes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopefully not in that order.<\/li>\n<li>All my friends here text each other. I&#8217;m just a simple boy with a simple cell phone plan. Amanda, though, thinks I&#8217;ll break before the end of the year and give in: getting a texting package. It would put a halt to calling and waking up people when asking where everyone goes to lunch.<\/li>\n<li>People here are good at playing Euchre and Guitar Hero and Super Smash Bros and Halo 2. I am master of none and am therefore socially inept. Well, you know, <em>more<\/em> socially inept. Unequipped. I am cut off from the bonding experiences of a guitar battle, or being hit with a hammer by Pikachu or a killing spree or whatever analogous event that Euchre has.<\/li>\n<li>\nI get better phone reception in the middle stall of the bathroom than in my room.<\/li>\n<li>\nF^#$ IT! moments so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>running shirtless through a fountain<\/li>\n<li>Singing karaoke<\/li>\n<li>Most Wednesday lunches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>People call Organic Chem &#8220;orgo&#8221;. I call it O-chem because I fear Freudian slips. Like with &#8220;secant x&#8221; in sophomore year. I was supposed to put a trigonometric proof on the board and I did, only I accidentally wrote &#8220;sec x&#8221; as &#8220;se x&#8221; without realizing it. &#8220;Orgo&#8221; is just a bit too close to &#8220;orgy&#8221; for my tastes.<\/li>\n<li>For Ochem lab reports, we have to write procedures in passive voice. This is torture; they are undoing everything that McD accomplished. I can&#8217;t hold out much longer&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>\nEvery big ten university needs a direct fiber line to Facebook&#8217;s servers. It&#8217;ll take the burden off of the rest of the Internet.
