In calculus today:
"...and if you're dealing with irrational numbers, your "u" has to be positive"
My mind, responding to this perfectly rational (npi) statement, when seen in context of differentiation of natural logs, thinks:
hmm... how can I twist this? It could mean that when dealing with radicals, like muslims and Christian fundamentalists, keep your female sheep happy.
aaah...sometimes you have to make your own hilarium ad infinitum...

You Know (part 3)
You know you have a more than normal roommate, when you hear this exchange coming out of a room, like so many others on the hall, whose occupants are mentally consumed with girls, video games, sports, or cars:
Roomie (somewhat randomly and loudly): Wow...that's NOTHING!!
Me (nonchalantly): what?
Roomie (still somewhat excited): This jawbone... it's not even complete...sheesh...
see what I mean?
Roomie, you're awesome...we need more jawbone comments and less naked men in this dorm.

Me (nonchalantly): what?

A Cedarville Lexicon...
Every college has its own jargon, Cedarville notwithstanding. Therefore, in order to help all of you understand my life in the terms that I experience it in, I will Lexicise you, for your betterment.
First, we have the acronyms:
The simple ones which you all could have guessed anyhow, like:
CU - Cedarville University
RA - Resident assistant
RD - Dorm God (wait...that doesn't fit...there's something fishy here...)
AM - ante meridian (a time convention that they like to use here in the midwest, means "before noon" Note: most students have no knowledge of this period of time, unless it be the first three or four hours if it)
The more complex ones relating to the buildings on campus -
SSC - Steven's Student Center
BTS - (Variant: CBTS) Center for Biblical and Theological Studies
DMC - Dixon Ministry Center, including the Jeremiah Chapel...which we all attend every day at 10 AM, unless there's swine flu oinking around.
ENS - Engineering, Nursing, and Science Building (also known as the realm of the geeks)
The still less comprehensible acronyms that stand for classes, mostly gen-ed classes:
CLT - Christian Life and Thought. (one of the freshman bible courses, always located in the BTS, and therefore sometimes misconstrued as a mixture: BLT?)
SPIFO - (pronounced as a word, not spelled) SPIritual FOrmation (the other freshman bible course)
PACL - (again pronounced as a word, not spelled) Physical Activity and the Christian Life. (does this just sound odd to some of you?)
Comp - Torture....or so I hear.
PAC -Politics and American Culture. Not to be confused with PACL.
And, Lastly, the really random acronyms for other things:
SGA - Student Government Association
SCAB - Student Center Activity Board
OD - Open Dorm weekends (...I think...) jk...I know what OD stands for :-P
PDA - Personal Data Assistant...don't know why they have regulations on these...things like only hugging them briefly?!??!?
Random words:
Chucks - the cafeteria, run by one guy for almost 30 years...namely, Chuck.
Meat Market - (alternative spelling: Meet Market) The area between Printy Hall and Lawlor Hall, the two most ubiquitously freshmen dorms, respectively male-occupied, and female occupied. It is normal to see a few desperate guys out there, strumming guitars, and waiting for "someone" to pass them by.
Now, consider yourself lexicized.
I leave you with one thing, that entered my mind upon seeing the drink counter in Chucks:
"to Dew, or not to Dew, that is the question.
whether it is nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous insomnia,
or to take arms against a sea of homework, and by diligence,
End it."
