Since I'm feeling sorta crummy right now ... what was your worst first day of school experience ... or a really bad day where everthing that had the smallest chance of going wrong went to hell in a frilly handbasket?----------------- Posted by toes on Aug. 22 2001,14:08
Hello - first post :]My worst first day of school is when i went in feeling not to good, went to the nurse 1/2 an hour after starting and was told i had tonsilitis and should go home urgently. I then spent the next two weeks coughing up lung butter and taking pain killers the sizes of beachballs. On a completely different note - everyone goto the webcam page on PersonGuy's website and look at the small dance he's doing. If you've got Missy Elliots "Get ur freak on" on MP3 or CD, play it. It might just be me, but to me it looks like he's doin' that dance she does. But i could be wrong, and most likely am.

First off Welcome Toes
Got up left early enough to get a parking spot at least I thought. I get to school mind you 45 minutes early and theres no parking spots so I have to park and walk a half mile up to school being late for my first class. Then by the time the day was out and I got to the book store .. they didnt have any books I needed so there was just the start. I get to work and the stupid email goes down. So here I spend 25 minutes troubleshooting an email server with the phone ringing off the hook. Lets say a nice glock would have taken care of me that day.... ------------------ Posted by Frosty on Aug. 22 2001,16:38
Today i found out that my shampoo leaked out all over my shower bag, my laundry basket, a few articles of clothing and some of my other shower articles. School hasn't really started yet, but it's only my second day in my dorm...and i found this all out when i picked up said shower bag and had shampoo leak out all over my comforter on my bed. :-\

Me ... 1)I just woke up to a cloudy day, 2)had an early, grad ordinary differential equation class (and I tell you, there's nothing ordinary about those fuckers) 3)got rained on (grey tank top, down boys!), I know it's just water, but it's cold! (stop staring at my chest ... ) 4)I really miss home and all the cool people that were here during the summer 5)deadlines deadlines deadlines ... 6)my Martha Stewart Nazi wannabe roomie wants everyone to have dinner together so she can get me to share MY cupboard (there are 4 cupboards and 4 people, you wretched cunt, pull that sandbag out of your vagina already!) Hey, Frosty, where do you go to school in Illinois? Posted by spOon on Aug. 22 2001,18:49

Showed up for my graduate assistantship training, was introduced to my Faculty member and he drops a 2 year old project on me (that the last 8-member team couldn't get to work).Next, he tells me that the lab that I'm supposed to manage (network integration) won't actually be mine until December. An off-cycle student (started in Jan. & not even a GA) will run it and I'm basically to be his bitch. I have to do the full hardware inventory, etc. I also don't even get a fucking key to my own fucking lab. Therefore, to get in to work on my project (which I have no clue about) or to take care of my duties, I'm at the mercy of this asshole's schecule. The guy's a prick and is holding this "holier-than-thou" attitude with me even though he's incompetant. Then I find out that I have to work in a different lab from 9am-2pm on Tuesday and Friday mornings and have to teach the labs to the rest of the students. On the positive side...I just found out today that I got a ū,000 raise!!! ------------------ quote: Never argue with and idiot...he may be doing the same thing Posted by justcozz on Aug. 23 2001,02:23
And the last day. I love how they make you go to school for a whole 15 minuts per class. Last day of english. "Hi (Teacher) I'm here. Later." I left. ------------------ Posted by gambit on Aug. 23 2001,03:06
I don't recall anything to horribly bad happening on the first day of school, but this happen about mid year.The day started of nice and horrible with a 1/2 hour nose bleed RIGHT before I was about to walk out the door. I finally get it stopped and arrive at school to find out this was my 5th tardy to school and they issued me a detention. They day progressivly got worse when the nose bleed came back mid 1st period. After retreating to the bathroom, which has no mirrors(hard to tell if you have removed all the blood from your face w/o a mirror) I get it stopped. I return to class and after that is over I head to my second period class. Shortly after the starting of that class I feel a sneeze comming on so I get my tissue ready and once again...nothing but blood. To make a really really long story...only just really long, I head to the nurse and get it stopped and my day ended with a stomach ache which left me on the verge of vomitting the rest of the day.
