Leave it to the ONE PERSON who doesn’t recognize Spike Lee to ring him up at the register.
I wasn’t giving him a faculty discount because he didn’t have an NYU ID and he was giving me that “…you don’t know who I am?” expression and smugly asking me to ask the manager. I wasn’t exactly [...]

Somehow this turned into a long tangent about killing time in class – with pictures!

My wrist/hand is recovering from completing my last final. If you’ve ever taken an exam next to me, (..or had a class.. or a heavy-note-taking lecture) I’m that obnoxious who cracks their knuckles.. and neck/head.. and limbs… This year I got in the bad habit of cracking my neck by pushing my chin to the [...]

More Procrastination in the Third North Computer lab

I’m so fuckin’ fierce
…and pale 
 
I killed Gary the Plant. I accidentally knocked him over and he snapped in half.
…Of course my plant has a gender.

What kind of dumbass wears heels to the library in rainy weather?

I’ve offically switched my major from psychology to anthropology and my 20 minutes in the Anthropology building confirmed that it was the right decision.  The people I encountered were – gasp – polite. Favorite moments:

Beidelman, the.. verbosely opiniated professor that frequents the trade information desk was talking to the Front Desk Guy nonstop regardless of [...]

The usual happenings around NYU “Campus”

Ever since I mentioned that Bobst PhD Student is alive, I keep seeing him everywhere again – literally, he’s three computers away from me right now on the 6th floor and was a couple of aisles away from me on LL1 around 8am earlier today.
I really need to stop going to Space Market. Forget the [...]

Someone who spends more time in Bobst than I do….

http://twitter.com/NYUBobstlibrary is one of those websites I’m supposed to snub my nose at because a good majority is just profanity, but it’s so ridiculous that it’s funny. Bobst apparently thinks in ghEttOtYpEz and refers to other well-known, iconic NYU buildings, personifying them with character traits. The following made me laugh out loud:

I AM SO TIRED. [...]

This past Abnormal Psychology exam was the first time I didn’t have a panic attack while taking a psychology exam. (Oh the irony, considering the exam included questions about panic attacks.) There’s really two reasons for this rare occurrence.
1. I actually knew what the exam was asking me. The professor is a lazy tenure who [...]

You know you’re spending too much time at the library once you start dreaming that you’re in the library.
…Looking for one of those comfortable, black chairs.
That’s really the only reason I try to grab a seat in LL1, LL2 if I’m willing to walk two flights of stairs with a heavy bookbag. It isn’t the [...]

How to Procrastinate in the Third North Computer Lab

Take pictures of yourself in Photobooth:

[22:25] grezakster: guess where I am
[22:25] lacrosse9008: home!
[22:25] lacrosse9008: aka bobst
[22:25] grezakster: YES
Other thoughts:

I’m tempted to take a class called “V45. 0865 – TPCS: APOCALYPSE NOW? THE LURE OF NOSTRADAMUS” in Spring 2010
You will never be alone in Bobst – whether its 4am Monday morning or 8am Saturday morning.
Work was [...]

What’s my wise, witty, or jaded observation for my daily life on this Friday night?
Classes are good. Work’s gotten better. I still live in Bobst but I guess it’s technically productive and I’ve been getting As on my assignments.
It’s apparently Parents Weekend at NYU, which means the store is filled with rude tourists who feel [...]

Right now I’m wearing a fresh pair of ear plugs and it’s glorious. I hear nothing. No opening doors, no buzzes from others’ ear plugs, none of my own music for the first time in about 8 hours.
I’m afraid to map out exactly how many hours I’ve been spending in Bobst library the past week [...]

My blog’s traffic now includes a good amount of NYU students ever since I blogged about the end of free printing. Google sent you to my blog and my entry most likely disappointed you with the lack of concrete knowledge about the new policy.
I’ve been making weird eye contact with some strangers around the NYU [...]

First Week of Fall 2009 Semester

I only have classes three days a week, which is a positive but will be a negative come exams and papers
I’ve been sleeping much better
I’m oddly excited about three courses and the assigned readings
My Abnormal Psychology professor managed to make the material sound dry and boring, thus causing me to question my decision to major [...]

The End of Free Printing at NYU Labs

NYU certainly has its flaws, but one of the wonderful positives was the free printing. Please note the past tense of that sentence: was.
On one hand I understand the decision during the recession: NYU must spent a lot of money on paper alone considering how much of it was wasted in those labs. There always [...]
