School Story:

1. Taking a final while sitting in front of Skitz, she started singing "If I Only Had a Brain" half way through. I laughed the rest of the time to the end. We all passed, luckily.

2. building the space frame on Prof. Gesch's front lawn while he was away.

3. Watching the guys sabotage each others cubbies in studio.

4. Telling Monica she needed to rebuild her model in 4th year studio. She had the second one built before I could finish my first.

5. Giving Caryn Tabby the "Bad House" award. I think she still hates me today.

6. Chicago...nuff said

7. DC...nuff said

8. NYC... nuff said

9. OK, just one more...on the bus ride down to DC, we had the bus windows open in the back near "the bar". Someone in the front puked out the window and it flew into the back window...disgusting but hilarious.
