Retaliatory Prank
So Kristin, one of our lab members, is obsessed with squirrels, and has been leaving little funny squirrel notes EVERYWHERE on Kristina's bench. You open a book, out pops a squirrel note. You take a post-it, a squirrel note is under it. It's been insane. We literally have dozens and dozens of these things. Plus there was that one time she superglued EVERYTHING on Kristina's bench. It took Kristina FOREVER to figure out that stuff was actually superglued down and that I didn't spill something sticky all over the place.
Kristina hasn't retaliated yet because she could never come up with a good prank. So I was thinking, if you can't come up with a unique prank, do the same prank, but BETTER. So I found a site that lets you put whatever you want into the dialog box of little notes with this crazy, ugly squirrel on it. I've printed out a couple dozen of these, with different messages. Today I bought 200 sq ft of foil paper. Tonight I am going to go into lab and cover EVERYTHING on Kristina's bench with foil, including her two chairs. I'm hoping I've got enough foil for this. Turns out foil is a little more expensive than I thought it would be, but at least Dan can't complain about me using lab materials to do this. I was going to leave the squirrel notes everywhere, plus taped to the things underneath the foil so she would see them when she got the foil off everything.
This is going to be awesome!! I'm planning on heading out to do this in 10 minutes. I'm hoping that Kristin will actually be gone by the time I get there. I mentioned to Kristina that I was planning on doing this on Friday, and she thought it was funny, but I bet she didn't think I would actually do it. Monday morning is going to be fantastic.
So in other news, people have been talking about what schools they got into. I didn't start this conversation, because I think it's sort of rude. It seems like there are a few people who turned Stanford down, too, but I think the reason why they did it was because they're all already from California and I bet they were sick of it. Well, I guess I have a similar reason - I'm from the ghetto Cuban version of California. I'm also getting the feeling that the West coast opinion of Stanford is very different from the East coast opinion of Stanford. I don't know . . . I feel better knowing that I'm not alone, but I'm still not entirely sure that I made the right choice. Yeah, I'm happy, but maybe I'd be happy anywhere as long as I was paid and had food. Oh well. Yeah, yeah, I've made my bed, lie in it, yadda yadda. I think as long as I affiliate with someone reputable, I'm good. It's just that this is such a cutthroat field, you really do need every advantage you can get. Exactly why do I like science again? ::squints::
I'm just amused that I thought I had seen the last fall that I would ever see last year, but here it is again. New England rocks. New Haven . . . not so much. I hope they don't make me try to recruit kids, because the best thing I can say about here is something like, "New Haven? Well, I haven't been raped . . . yet. Food's good, though!"
Yale/Harvard game was yesterday. I bet we lost because we suck. I actually have no idea, but I'd expect to hear more revelry if we won. Then again, this isn't Duke, so I have no idea what to expect. God. Well, at least our mascot doesn't suck quite as much as Harvard's.
Alright, off to prank Kristin!
