Wildcat Update

Three weeks of the semester down, fifteen to go. Probably not a good sign that I'm already counting down. So yeah, school's more boring and more work than I remembered it being during Winter break. I'm sure my eight-hours-of-classes-with-only-two-thirty-minute-breaks Tuesdays aren't helping my morale, but oh well.

Aside from the scholastic side of college, things are going swell. I'm captain of the dorm soccer team and part of the Comedy Corner softball team, hooray for that! Both teams have their first game this Sunday, hopefully one of my teams will win. The new kids (of which I am one) are also finally able to fully participate in Comedy Corner, so I've been dedicating some energy towards that as well. The shows have been fun so far and I'm enjoying myself, so it's probably one of the few things keeping me sane here on campus (it's right up there with Vault®). I actually got my first sketch performed on stage, which I shall post here for all your viewing pleasure; this sketch is based on a true story of mine, sadly.

Comp Sci 101

Paul:

Sam:

6 chairs set up on stage

Sam is already seated, Paul sits down in a seat next to him

Neither one talks to the other, students begin filling in to the room, 2 male and 2 females

Paul begins looking around, begins looking confused, as if something is wrong but he can't pin it down

Paul: Awwww crap. (to Sam) this isn't Computer Science 250 is it?

Sam: No, it's Math 112. How did you figure that out just now?

Paul points to the two girls in the class

Paul: (Sighing)Way too many girls.

Lights

It got some laughs from the audience, however, my favorite response by far was a single person yelling "That's it?!?" As they say, brevity is the soul of wit.

Back to School

So, I've been back for 2 whole days now, and I'm still not feeling it. College seems way more boring now than when I left. Oh well. All my teachers seem cool this semester, though two of them are giving assigned seats in lectures (a 100 student class and a 300 student class) which is absolutely unheard of. My two computer science teachers are awesomely stereotypical. Also, on my way to one of my CS classes for the first time, I knew it was a large lecture class, so I just assumed it was in the largest classroom in the building and didn't bother checking room numbers. After sitting there for a minute or so, I realized something was waaaaay off. After a second of thought, I realized the male/female ratio was about 1:1. I got up, walked out, and sure enough I was in the wrong room. Funny but sad that I knew I was in the wrong place because I was surrounded by cute girls. Once I arrived to my class, the teacher took attendance. I was more than halfway down the list in a class of around 50 people. The teacher was actually getting most of the names right, including some very Asian names (think X's and lots of phlegm). He gets to my name and I hear "Oh boy. Umm... Dustin P-R-E-U-S-S." Yeah. He spelled it out. The guy can figure out Cantonese but an "eu" is too much for him. It's a good thing my last name isn't permanent or anything. Oh wait... damn.
