Most Memorable Moment:
3--Freshman year, a courtyard show + first semester finals + the day before Xmas break: 1) There is this huge dorm called Alexander Hall. It's shaped like an H. In the back of the H, there's a detached dorm called Alexander North, which used to be a girls's dorm, but converted to a boys' dorm in '96 to suit the influx of men that year. In between the two dorms is a courtyard. Now that you see the lay of the land, here's what happened: Every so often, there'd be a few hot mamas and daddies to do a strip show in their windows. If things go too noisey, the RA lady would come out and everyone would draw their blinds (she'd count the windows and write your room up). But one night, her comin' out didn't even matter. There were chicks and guys going tit for tat (pardon the pun) and things were just OFF THE HOOK. You'd swear No Limit had just walked into the place (fall '96-remember, they were hot that year). The chick walked out to write people up and folks started shouting obscenities at her. They told her to go home and get some d!ck. LOL!!! It was str8 comedy. You might've had to be there for that one... 2) This chick down the hall from my room came to visit my roommate one night. During her visit, she "leaned" on our sink and it fell off the wall. The following Monday I had to be the one to sit in the room and wait for the campus service men to fix the sink. And since I hadn't studied for my next class's final (with a teacher that I SWEAR had THE HUGEST HEAD I've ever seen in my life), I conveniently seized that time to do so. I was, like, an HOUR late for the final and Heddy Munster gave me this off look. But I walked in so smooth--like the class was just there early or somethin'--and I took the test in FIFTEEN minutes! Am I cool or what? LOL!! I made an A. 3) My bio teacher HAD to have the final on the LAST DAY of school! It was a cumulative test, accompanied by an outline of the last chapter we reviewed. All my other classes had me very stressed, so I broke the outline into pieces per night. Well, that was my intention, but it didn't really go down like that. What REALLY happened is I did the first two sections of that 80 jillion paged chapter during the first couple nights of the week and I did the rest THE NIGHT BEFORE! Right...just like a negro, huh? Anyway, it's Thursday night, Jackson, Miss., December '96. Half of the school population is gone and whomever was left was invited to a party in these chicks' room down the hall. Cool. A lot of the people who came (girls & guys, by the way) were in the band like I was, so I went to party with my folks. Somebody called on the noise. The RA came up and was TRIPPED the F**K OUT! But everybody stormed the door, knocked her over, and ran to wherever they felt they wouldn't get caught. About 30 mins later, my roommate and I returned to our room to do the dreaded outline. (We had the same bio class) I finished at, like, 5 in the AM. Test @ 8. @ 8:30, my body shifted for my routine slumber turn and then I realized..."I went to sleep too late to feel this comfortable. I should look at the clock." "[Roommate's name]!!!! IT'S 8:30!!!" We both jumped up and hit the choppers in the (now fixed) sink. Threw on some crap clothes real quick and SPRINTED CLEAR ACROSS THE CAMPUS to the other end. The teacher looked at us like we were crazy--by now, 40 minutes late for a freakin' final--but we told him the alarm didn't go off. So he let us take the test. Thank the Almighty. I made an A. (:-D
