USF

  • I’m trying to study and finish another post, but there are so many helicopters zooming around outside, because our school has had three major threats already today:

    1) bomb
    2) armed intruder
    3) “White male subject
    seen in the Cooper Hall area in black tank top, cowboy hat carrying
    black puppy and a large hunting knife – Officers en route”. (Word for word from my “Mo-Bull” system–our emergency text alert system…we’re the USF Bulls, so they make Bull-puns all the time).


    I know the third one should be really frightening, but, it is hard not to laugh at the description.

    The first time the sirens went off, I was on my way to class and noticed how nobody seemed to care about the sirens.  They need a better system, because those sirens were not alarming (har har).

    I remember last time we got an alert on campus that I remember was during the summer; the alleged gunman was actually 3 minutes from my dorm, and I received the warning text while I was on my way back from classes.  I was really depressed then, and I actually was happy to be walking toward my dorm at such times.  Though I wouldn’t ever be selfish enough to put myself (& consequently others) in danger because of a down mood.  This brings me to realize that I have made a lot of progress in my healing since we (ex- & I) broke up.  (It is always hard with the first heartbreak; I suppose with all others too, if it is genuine).  But I am a lot happier now, except when I think too much about him (which I rarely do, so no worries).  My eyes are now open to the things that created rifts in our relationship, and things that I need to improve to make myself a better person for whoever might be my future someone, if he exists.  Things that I am searching for in my future someone also.

    I might add that I think the cutest guys are somewhat nerdy.  :)   But human at the same
    time.  (Sometimes I felt like my ex- wasn’t human; he lost touch with
    the human world sometimes when his curiosity went overboard.  Sometimes he would forget me amidst his studies, but no one likes to feel neglected…-_- [am I that boring or unappealing?  Math is more attractive than me? ]). 
    And then there is nothing like a sentient, compassionate being that also hasn’t lost their sense of curiosity. n_n!  I have a friend whom’s heart one could win with food, but I think with mine if you talk nerdy…(& talking music sure doesn’t hurt either, unless you hate the music I love!).

    Will reply to comments if I can get my work done!  :)   I like to take my time & think out the things I have to say.

    & my layout is xkcd themed. (:  It has been ages since I have had solid colors entirely, and such simple colors.

    [Regular colors :) ] :) :) It was pretty easy to make too.

  • BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!

    Bill Nye visited today.  Over 900+ students came to see him.  My roommate and I arrived in the Marshall Center about 50 minutes before he was scheduled to speak.  When we arrived, there were probably at least 400 people already in line.  Oops!  And we thought we were arriving early! 

    Here are a few pictures :) :

  • Some things at this school are just so ridiculous.

    -Early post office closing…not to mention the P.O is so far from the dorms…[I don't understand why my mailbox only receives in-coming mail but won't take out-going mail.  It isn't that hard to move mail around is it?]

    -Crappy food.

    -Parking and rules (you can get a citation for parking 1 cm over the lines..good gracious).

    -Crappy food.

    -No recycling in dorms (mine anyways..so I waste gasoline lugging that stuff out)

    -Crappy food.

    -Golf carts that whiz by at high velocities..we pedestrians pretty much jump out of the way to avoid being hit..and then I also see dead lizards EVERYWHERE because the carts run them over.

    -Crappy food.

    -Ben&Jerry’s was supposed to give out free ice cream on election day–the campus one didn’t do it..and then the workers there got mad at all the people who asked (or so I heard).

    -Crappy food.

    -Etc. Hope everyone else’s schools don’t do too many ridiculous things.
