GRILLED CHEEEEEESE YOPTIK!
so TODAY was a fun day! Went to an engineering thingie mabobber in NYC, and learned how to speak Turkish on the way back.
Fun Phrases I learned (Phonetically, don't pay attention to spelling):
Grilled cheeeeeese YOPTIK: We made grilled cheese
Grilled cheeeeeese YOKTIK: We burned grilled cheese
Grilled cheeeeeese YIDDIK: We ate grilled cheese
Grilled cheeeeeese YODOM: We are eating grilled cheese
Suuchheeee YOKTIK: We burned hair
JAAAASSSETTT YOKTIK: We burned the corps
JAAAACCKETTTEEE YOKTIK: We burned the jacket
CHELEESHODOM! : I am Playing
CHELEESHEAODOM! : I am Working
And I think that's all the wonderful phrases that I learned how to say...except for the ones I forgot. Emma, add a comment if you remember.
Anwyays, that was entirely too much fun, and probably an activity of someone intoxicated with 30 different sorts of drugs, but, Kelly, Petek, Emma and I, sober, speak crazy turkish. And say things like "Blood Pressure" : TANSHHION by accident. Good times. I think petek was getting kind of annoyed, though, after I said "grilled cheeeeese YOPTIK" for the thirtieth time. And matt was rather annoyed when I called him up and repeated such phrases to him over the phone, when he just wanted to have a NORMAL, CIVIL conversation with his gf.
Sucks to be him.
I feel rather sorry for the guy sometimes, but we won't get into that. Other than me and my GRILLED CHEESE YOPTIK speeches don't exactly make him the happiest man in the world. But that is understandable. Most people just want to have civil conversations.
Anyhow, that was my friday, and I STILL don't know why it is that I went on this stupid field trip to NYC which took 3 HOURS there and 3 HOURS back out of my day in order to learn turkish and about how wonderful Princeton is (the people speaking loved princeton more than dear life itself...rather sad), and to build SPAGHETTI TOWERS the WRONG WAY.
This is what happened: WOMAN FROM SOUTH AFRICA led my group. We got a BOX OF SUPPLIED (INCLUDING TAPE) and LINGUINI (while other groups got spaghetti), AND GUMDROPS.
UNFORTUNATELY, woman from SA went to ask if we were allowed to use TAPE to build our TOWER. The
DIRECTOR OF THE FREAKING PROGRAM SAID YES
and we got d/qed for using tape. GO FIGURE.
It was rather unfortunate that such a thing might happen, and I wish they would just...ORGANIZE a LITTLE bit better (bear in mind, these are the people from PRINCETON who claim to be so amazing at EVERYTHING...the whole GIVING DIRECTIONS thing is sort of OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE)
anyhow, I was rather upset over that, and the fact that no one in our group was willing to actually DO anything, so I was sitting there attempting to put spaghetti into gumdrops and such, and they were just kind of staring. And then they knocked the whole thing over. It was a good time.
OH YEAH there was ALSO the fact that we were allowed to split into TWO GROUPS and they didn't TELL US. We had ONE GROUP make a SHITTY TOWER and got D/Qed because they gave us WRONG DIRECTIONS and this is all our fault.
I am bitter.
So we are going ot organize our OWN tower spaghetti building extravaganza! And it's going to be INTELLIGENTLY ORGANIZED.
*ahem* I am ALRIGHT, and done ranting.
Anyways, I am actually looking into engineering rather seriously. I mean, yes, yes, I want to be a classics professor, yes yes, we ALL know that, I want to teach the world Latin because I love it so much...but....when I was looking into columbia, I was wanting to do that TWO - THREE program where I would be able ot get two degrees: One in Classics, One in Mechanical Engineering. That would be AWESOME. I Believe though, seeing as how Columbia rejected me, that this college ROANOKE has a similar program. That would be amazing, let me tell you. I think they do theirs avec VA TECH. So that would be all fun and games. Except I would be getting my degree in something that wasn't classics, i.e., International Business, or Marketing, or French, or SOMETHING comme ca. So that's my story
and now I am going to SLEEP or talk to Matthew Joe Scruggs. Love you all...
