What is the arboretum?

And why are they webcamming the construction site?

The arboretum is kind of a park

they built it on the old tailgate lot right across from the business building and to the left of the law building. It’s essentially a bunch of young trees, a lily pad pond, and a fountain at the moment, but they’re planning on building more in addition to what’s already done now, so it’s why it’s still a “construction site”.

can't even see the stadium

from my window i normally have an excellent view of Beaver, but not today, I can’t see it cause of the snow

by Goochie-Man on Oct 15, 2009 3:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I took this right outside my dorm room in Thompson

It’s sticking to the trees and grass, but the sidewalks and roads are essentially icy slush (and not the kind you can easily walk on where it just splats around your feet), and it’s been falling at a fairly good rate constantly all day. Luckily the weather says it’s not going to go to go below freezing (close or right at 32) tonight, so that slush won’t turn to ice and make walking tomorrow a major Pryor.

As great as college was

I’m glad to not be trecking 1/2 a mile to class in the wind and snow for a monday 8am class in the damn west end of campus.

If you're in the sciences...

and have to show up for a lab, you’re pretty much screwed.

by Artiefufkin10 on Oct 15, 2009 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

haha, I had two labs today

even worse was that I had lab exams in both of them today, luckily it wasn’t too much of a problem to get to class, even though neither lab is close to my dorm.

by dawsonPSU10 on Oct 15, 2009 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

EE major, so I could get nailed pretty bad for missing a class or two depending on the course.

Across the frozen tundra

Sophomore year, winter trimester (I’m showing my age) I had the worst schedule. I lived in Ewing and had an 8:00 class in Wagner and then had to walk across campus passing through frozen tundra known as East Halls which wasn’t as built up as it is now. There were no wind breaks and the wind whipped off of lot 43 and froze everything in its path. My journey went by the Forum, past Pattee and ended up at Walker Building for one class and them back to south halls. It was ridiculous but scheduling classes back then in the IM building was no treat (again showing my age) and you took what you could get. I was never one to wait for hours hoping someone would return a class card that fit my schedule better.

One winter term

I had 8am swimming at the Nat.

Thats when you know it's cold as hell

Last semester right after winter break, it was so cold up here, when you breathed through your nostrils you could feel the snot instantly freeze inside your nose, and then have it instantly warm up again when you exhale through your nose.

Damn swine!

I HATE them!

Cept for bacon of course.

I just found out my little sister (who lives in Simmons, luckily I'm far away in West)

just got swine flu. I’m trying to decide whether to be an a-hole or not and make “snort-snort” noises next time I see her, or on her Facebook wall.

by dawsonPSU10 on Oct 15, 2009 5:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's just swine flu, which is essentially a more contagious regular flu

so, while I haven’t spoken to her (for my own personal health’s sake since I haven’t gotten, nor plan to risk getting sick if I can), I’m assuming she’s just holed up in her room under a quilt or something, coughing sneezing, etc. The only reason I found out was when my Dad called me to talk about dinner plans for when my family comes up for homecoming weekend tomorrow.

Dude, call your sister! That old fashioned device is called the telephone. Some people have a more newfangled one that is cellular. Both allow you to actually speak to a person without having to be in physical contact with them.

I can smell a rambler poll now:

Which BSD member would you most like to get swine flu?

Wasn’t “your most hated BSD member” close enough?

See, I don't mind someone stating an opinion

But I didn’t like his approach. Like Cairo said, we’ll all get to laugh at him if/when his air conditioning breaks down in the middle of July.

Me, I’ll stick with those three lovely ladies from Purdue. Well, if women weren’t repulsed by my sight. Alas…

Ah yes, lovely!

While working as a sports editor for the Collegian, I used this picture on our end-of-the-semester staff “awards.” She’s always been a winner in my eyes.

You awarded your staff a picture of her?

It was more about the beer...

I’m pretty sure at that time if you typed in “beer” to google image search, that was one of the first pictures that came up. So… I guess yes, I gave every single person on staff a certificate that had her picture as one part of the design.

I don’t see what journalists have to complain about with perks like that…

Do it

Internet hunt her down and make her Buggy’s. Do it so your creepy married internet friends can live vicariously.

Do it for the 717.

It's days like this in State College

where the only reason to leave your dorm/house is to get to the Darkhorse (or your pub of choice). Tie one on and the weather won’t matter. I bet you can get an outdoor table at the Cafe!
