Exam Stress Tactics

Overheard in Blanchard at 8am.

"So I was just reading some Haikus [sic] this morning..."

At Wilhelmina's request, please note that in correct English, "Haiku" is not made plural by adding an 's', the person quoted, however, was not so enlightened as our dear Wilhelmina. One might recommend putting this grammatical fact in your proverbial pipe and smoking it for a little while.

In the Stupe

Monday, May 4

"So, Israel and the Church are separate?" - A girl studying with a guy who was trying to explain.

Mild Overreaction

The Stupe
May 4; 2:00 PM

"I've been washing my hands since I heard of swine flu, at least, like every fifteen minutes."
- male Wheaton student

In Response to Saga's Swine Flu Prevention Measures. . .

"It's as if we've done something wrong, and we're being punished for it."

Pig Issues

Overheard in the Fischer kitchen on Friday:

"Mom, for someone who hasn't eaten a prepared meal here in four years, these changes are ridiculous!"

and later...

"so what we have is a bunch of underhydrated, vitamin deficient students at the most stressful time of year!"

Which leaves us to question why she chose to use the Fischer kitchen after being here 4 years?

Only at Wheaton

"I was going to have dinner by myself but this guy came and sat down and asked if I wanted to have an impromptu Bible Study. It actually was pretty cool, we got pretty deep. And then we debated Calvinism."

In a Restaurant

Person 1: "...and so, with globalization people can live anywhere and work via teleconferencing..."
Person 2: "Yeah, as Milton Friedman said, 'The world is flat'"
Person 1: "Uh, I think you mean Thomas Friedman. Milton Friedman was waay different."
Person 3: "Yeah, Mr. Paradise Lost"
Person 4: "No, you're thinking of Thomas Milton"
Person 1: "You're definitely thinking of John Milton. He wrote..."
Person 2: "Oh gosh, I can't keep all these straight"
Person 1: "Sigh. Lets just call them John Milton Thomas Friedman. How about that?"
