WTF? there are SO MANY STUDENTS! Mod, prep, trad, punk, goth, hippy, nerd, and more! With insipid dialogue included!→[More:]
If only we could run a university without all these students. The newsagent's is mobbed and someone is selling cheap shitey posters outside. So much for peace and research!

I'm having one of those anxiety attacks again. Now with stomachache! And hormonal mood swings or something.

I need to clean up the house better I think. Need talk shows to listen to on iPod when i do this. I need to keep the place clean and maybe this will attract the interest of a certain someone off-a his computer. :P

Students, feh. I think everyone should have the choice between going to school and getting an education.

Furthermore they don't know how to get the ^^%$" out of the way of busy people trying to get places.

and the Spanish pacing cell-phone talker is pacing outside my window again. I'm going to tell him to go chingate.

Or you could be smart and do both.

Someone I work with always says, "This would be a great job if it weren't for the students." But he is in the IT dept. so I'm sure his life is pretty stressful from August to May.

I don't think I'll make eye contact with anyone until January. Give them that first shock of finals to show them this isn't high school anymore. And how about the parents that come to orientation? The people that created the students!

And all year... prospectives tours. I hate the social climbing rat race.

The standard tour route here comes through the library and I've heard some pretty funny things, like how all the books are shelved alphabetically, and how the RFID tags we use for inventory and checkout "tell" the compact shelving on the lower level to open automatically to the correct shelf location if the student looks up the call number online.

Can we hear some samples of insipid dialogue? It's been 8 years since I was a student, I want to hear what they're saying these days.

A frat boy: "My mom and dad found out I was having sex and the next day I found a box of condoms on my bed. They were 'For Her Pleasure'."

I'll post more if I hear them.

Boy, were they barking up the wrong tree!

I was implying the fratboy had teh ghey, thus making 'her pleasure,' irrelevant. Puerile humor, thus the apology.
