April Showers

There's been a decent amount of showering people lately (new officers, people with April birthdays, etc.) If I haven't already explained this, showering is an activity for special occasions, i.e. someone's birthday or the end of a dorm meeting, in which the fortunate people being celebrated are forcibly carried to a shower which is then turned on, drenching their clothes and making them somewhat irate. But it's all in good fun. Those not on the No Prank List can shower and be showered, and it's all quite entertaining, but the flailing some people manage in attempting to escape can cause minor physical injury to all involved. That combined with a couple soccer games has gotten me a little battered and bruised this past week. Worth it, though.

Man, April is stressful. Right now we're doing our last homework assignments and projects for the semester. A week and a half from now classes end; then there's Presentation Week, after which we have Finals and then IT'S OVER. I will have passed (I believe) one year of classes. Just yesterday I had my last Chem lab EVER. That's just crazy.

There's a lot of talk these days about things to do over the summer. Personally, I'm sticking around to work on CS staff, while a bunch of my friends are doing other CS research and a smaller (but still substantial) group of people I know are doing research here in other fields. Woohoo, go post-froshlings in research!

Recently, as a result of the sort of crazy amount of work a lot of us have had these past couple weeks, there's been a sudden influx in the viral dissemination of YouTube videos around these parts. "Baman Piderman" clips have been the popular one for my sister, but education also on "Look Around You", some incidental videos with celebrities ranging from David Tennant to Christopher Walken, and other strange things have been occurring in my vicinity in the past week or so.

Good luck, those of you who have to take AP tests soon. We'll be taking tests at the same time. We feel for you.
