Beach Wedding

Music: Love Love Love by As Tall as Lions

"I must say I love weddings. I especially loved this one wedding on the beach in Biloxi. They wedded on the beach at 6 PM and then we partied in the Hard Rock Casino after wards. When it got too hot inside, all of us decided to go out onto the beach and play football in our gowns and tuxedos. We were already intoxicated and it was so dark, no one could see the ball, so basically we were just throwing it into the air and just randomly tackling the person infront of us. Jan got hit on the head/chest several times by the ball and Elicia ripped her bridesmaid dress. Even after breaking about four laws, the police let us go with only warning. "

Being a smart-ass

Music: Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty

Dr. Sukanek is my fluid dynamics & heat transfer professor. He is a total badass. All of the engineering majors are pretty scared of him...except for my class. For example...

This is how I do it
-------------------------------------

Dr. Sukanek: So, you can find a Reynold's number and then find the Nussle number. With all the overall given information, what can you use to solve for the final temperature of the system?

Me: Equations.

Dr. Sukanek: [closes his eyes disappointingly] YES. You DO use equations. What kind of equations???

Me: Equations with temperature in it.

Dr. Sukanek: [shakes his head disappointingly] Why do I even bother?

This is how Tyler does it.
-------------------------------------

Tyler: [listening to the Talking Heads on his I-pod before class starts]

Dr. Sukanek: [comes into the classroom] Hi. What are you listening to?

Tyler: The Talking Heads. Have you ever heard of them? They came out in the eighties....hey....weren't you, like, 30 when they came out?

This is how William does it.
-------------------------------------

Dr. Sukanek: If your phone goes off during class...I answer it. Okay? If my phone goes off during class, you guys answer it.

[Dr. Sukanek's phone rings]

Dr. Sukanek: Aw shit! [gives his cellphone to William.]

William: Hello? Oh, hey. Who's this? Yeah...your dad's teaching a class right now. Hey baby, are you busy tonight?

Dr. Sukanek: Hey! That's my daughter!

This is how Carmen does it.
-------------------------------------

Dr. Sukanek: If you want a job in America, you use English units. So, you have to know the conversions between pounds force, pound mass, BTU's, etcetera.

Carmen: Or you can use Mathcad.

Dr. Sukanek: Mathcad?! So, if your boss asks you what's the conversion of something, are you going to run back to your office to convert it with Mathcad?

Carmen: We'll have Mathcad on our phones by then.

And then...Dr. Sukanek strikes back
-------------------------------------

Dr. Sukanek: Have I graded your projects yet? Oh hell no! First of all, I'm feeling kind of sick and I blame you people. So, I'm already in a bad mood. This is what is going to happen when I start grading them. I'm gonna look at a couple of them and say to myself, "How DUMB can these people be?" and then I'd have to go grab a couple martinis afterwards. [sneezes] Excuse me. Whenever I sneeze...I'll think of you people.

Nature

Music: Californication by RHCP

"I was walking with my friend Dion and these squirrels were throwing acorns at us. We were thinking 'Man, wouldn't it be fun just to be a squirrel and throw shit at people you don't like all day?' and then all of a sudden, this giant hawk comes out of nowhere, attacks the squirrel, and throws it on it's back while it's still alive and starts pecking the shit out of it. Dion and I were like 'Oh my GOD!!" and then some biology majors walked by and they were like 'Oh how beautiful. Look at nature running it's course!'"

Tell Me Why

This is just a collection of all my favorite conversations and events (that I can remember.) Obviously, there will be conversations from the past on here...if my memory serves me well.

Here is an example of what happened to me at the Einstein's Bagel shop in Anderson Hall the other day.

Bagel Shop Cashier: What would you like, sweetie?

Me: I'd like a blueberry muffin and a regular coffee, please.

BSC: Alright, and your name?

Me: Susie.

[A few minutes later...]

BSC: Alright, I've got a blueberry muffin for Juicy?

Me: [looks around] ....

BSC: Juicy?? [looking at me]

Me: ...It's Susie...thank you.

This happened two more times after that. Apparently, Susie and Juicy are the same name. Not Lucy or Judy. JUICY.
