Engineers? Are crazy.

It's 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon, I'm working in the least-used of our building's three labs, and there are 25 other people here. I counted.

I was here until 11:30 last night, and it was about the same. In fact, I think some of them are still here.

I was talking to one of our custodians the other day -- the college of engineering has the coolest custodians, by the way -- and apparently, some of our grad students actually live in their offices. As in: they have no homes.

Now, I've been known to ponder out loud on the possibility of living on campus. One could get away with it for a decent length of time -- there are some very comfortable nooks, and people fall asleep here all the time. You'd just have to rotate buildings so that people didn't catch on. There are showers in both gyms, and emergency ones in all the chem labs. The lockers we rent in this building are huge. They're at least three feet deep and about a foot and a half wide. A couple of those, a couple in the gym? And you could very easily exist here on a permanent basis.

I was contemplating an experiment. Trying it out, and selling my story for millions -- or at least trading it for some textbooks next term. Then some rat-fink at the campus paper wrote it up for free.



Ahem. Yes. I've been pretty much living here lately anyway. I've been at school every day for the last two and a half weeks or so, and most of those were around 10 or 12 hours. You'd think I'd be getting more work done, eh?



Really, people, I'm sorry I've been missing. Please stop defriending my LJ?


Update: 36 people. There are 45 computers in the lab.

Am very afraid of what would happen if you and laura amy went to the same school!! You'd be a very bad influence on each other! :)

Engineers here aren't as crazy.. but you people actually sound fun! If deranged, at least you know how to keep yourselves alive.

Eh. I probably wouldn't hang out with engineers if I wasn't one.

And I'd never be a bad influence on someone. Why would you think that?

::Looks cute::

So who's defriending you? Last time I looked, I was still here.

[cherryice.livejournal.com]

Eh. People. I'm thinking it has something to do with these random, week-long absenses.

[darkmark.livejournal.com]

Well, if they're going to defriend you after just a week of absence, they aren't much friends.

Wheee! We really are crazy people. And only 10-12 hour days? Honey, you're only getting started! Last Thursday, I got to the university at 8:30 am. I left my student council office at 3:00 am. That's a hell of a lot longer day than what I'm used to! stupid exam period.

Well, some of them are more like 14, but I'm kind of limited by my bus route. I have to be out by 12:20, or I don't get home at all. While some people *do* sleep here on a regular basis, I am not one of them.

[lolitabug.livejournal.com]

ahaha, stay in the club of not sleeping here! Once you're in, it's hard to get out.

(no, I don't keep 2 days worth of clothes in the office plus pajama pants and a baggy t-shirt... not at all)

Ahahah. See, in order for me to make it to that step?

I'd have to learn to open my own locker.

I can't open that damn thing, no matter how hard or how long I try. I always have to bat my eyelashes and drag someone down to get them to open it for me.

They never seem to have any problem with it.

(Yes, I'm gibbled.)
