What I’ve learned this term:
• When somebody won’t answer your friendly advances, before you write them off as rude check for hearing aids.
• Planning your class schedule around Star Trek: Deep Space Nine reruns definitely classifies you as a geek, which is why TiVo is rather an important idea.
• TiVo hates you.
• Sometimes it’s good to be nearsighted. Especially in a communal shower. You can’t see the gross things in the drain if you can’t see anything.
• Despite the fact that common wisdom would say that they are all parts of your own personality, the people in your head can still surprise you.
• 9 in the morning and I will probably forever regard each other with mutual suspicion.
• An ergative language is one where the ‘subject’ of an intransitive verb is equated in case with the ‘object’ of a transitive verb. Which is bloody cool.
• Exploding ears can be turned into a fashion statement, so long as you cover up the actual blast radius.
• If Eddie Izzard and Larry the Cable Guy ever shook hands, they would annihilate each other in a bright flash of light. Who says educated comedy doesn’t sell?
• It is always cool to run into an old friend.
• The kanji for ‘mermaid’ is as follows: 人魚
• Beware when giving ideas to the artistically inclined, or you might wind up all staring in horrified amusement at a page of William Shatner/Adam West softcore porn manga one of you drew in a fit of inexplicability.
• If you want to get famous on LiveJournal, apparently all you have to do is make a
Star Trek reference. • It is harder to distinguish sounds that you don’t count as discrete phonemes in your native language. Especially when the examples you have are from a nonnative speaker.
• Nobody wants to hear your reminiscences about how the Olympics are better when you’re there. You will wind up sitting alone forlornly wearing your
ROOTS hat if you try to tell them.
• Finding out you’ve had more ‘girlfriends’ than your boyfriend has can be pretty amusing.
• If you are not part of the Elite Inner Circle of the ASL Club, you will have to go to the non-clique oriented teacher if you want to have any part in ASL.
• Terry Pratchett trumps Japan Night.
• Hair apparently grows logarithmically, if mine is anything to go by.
• Don’t write off a bookstore job offering too soon.
• Knitting is apparently not something you can quit any time you like.
• Every single great idea I’ve ever had has already been had by other people.
• Corollary to Everything Is Better With Chile Peppers: Everything Is Also Better With Limes.
• School with Josh is infinitely preferable to school without Josh.
• All the airlines hate you.
