Sterling College Homecoming
Well, I did not make it to the Sterling College Homecoming for the first time since my lovely graduation back in good old 2000 and one. This makes me a little sad, 'cause I like going back, I really do. I try and not be bitter about my college experience as so many people seem to be. I was for awhile, but i'm past that man, i'm past that. So in honor of ye old SC, I shall post a random memory from the "good ol' days". I typed this list up from some notes I found in a crate of notes I took in college. These were taken in Y-Wain Zimmerman's Physical Science (I called it "Physical Death) class in 2001 interterm. I didn't really enjoy the class that much, but i did a bit of snickering and giggling as I listened to Billig laugh at aformentioned proffesor's wit and charm. So in retrospect, it was fun. Here goes:
Quotes from Physical Science Innerterm Class 2001.

ANDY!
1. Super happy you found me on myspace.
2. I also wanted to go to the SC Homecoming, but couldn't. You'll discover why if you read the blogs.
3. We must get together! Seriously. Really wish you could have met Dave though.
oh my gosh, that was funny! i read them out loud to gena--you should try that. not necessarily to gena, although i'm sure she wouldn't mind hearing them again... seriously. read them out loud. seriously.
seriously.
Our FAVORITE Y-wain quote from Physics class:
"I'm not even going to try to reproduce because I don't have the right equipment."
He meant to add an "it" after the word "reproduce" but forgot to. He was referring to a demonstration suggested by our textbook......but out of context, well, we laughed for YEARS!
I don't think I wrote down any Y-wain quotes from that class, so it sure was fun to read yours. I'd almost forgotten how umm... "fun" that class was...
