If only. Our campus just continues on, but now there are 100x as many people discovering you can't get there from here.



... you actually have to start keeping track of what day of the week it is

You know the semester has started when you see a lot of disguised people on campus because of initiation rituals !

I third the parking comment, and add:

...when you can't drive through campus without almost hitting at least one pedestrian/bike rider who thinks that it's ok to walk/ride their bike straight through the crosswalk without first checking to see if there are any cars actually IN the crosswalk!

Ugh it annoys me!

These are all so true.... and hilarious!

Although seeing disguised people, Le Phys, would totally freak me out.
