Fun Stuff > CHATTER
University/College

during my first year of uni in guelph we had a small stomach flu epidemic going around campus which was so bad classes were cancelled for weeks and certain sections of residence were quarantined. we made it onto the cbc news too. i was one of the 3 or 4 very first people to come down with this flu which was utterly terrifying as i had absolutely no idea what was going on when i suddenly woke up at 3 in the morning and proceeded to vomit the entire contents of my stomach over the side of my bed for the next several hours. the residence staff has to call a cab to rush me to hospital where a whole bunch of tubes and needles went into my arms because i couldn't walk and in between the vomiting i was collapsing and blacking out a lot. it's the one time in my life where i really thought i was going to die. then of course everyone else got it and i couldn't anymore because i was immune on account of having already had it, but at that point classes were essentially cancelled so i got to defer all my exams and enjoy a couple of weeks off anyway.
anyway it was eventually deduced that the most likely explanation for this was that someone forgot to wash their hands after taking a dump. that's my advice to you, freshmen. wash your hands after you shit. a little bit of soap and water goes a really long way, trust me on this.

Barmymoo:
I've begun packing in a serious way (all the clothes I don't wear very often are either in suitcases or are going to the charity shop) and the spare bed in my room is covered in boxes of things like pans and toasters and so forth. Although I've still got quite a bit to do it's not going to take very long, so if I tackle it in small spurts I'm confident it'll get done in time.
I hadn't realised, until I saw it all together, just how much I've bought specially to take with me. Other than the clothes I'd say about 80% of my stuff has been purchased in the last two months with uni in mind. I guess I've never needed my own cutlery before, or a toaster or a sieve or any of the things I've been buying. The only things that were already mine are my stereo and my laptop and even that was bought so that I didn't have to take my desktop.
Guys, I go to uni in less than two weeks! I'm so excited :)

...why would you need a sieve in college? Maybe "sieve" means something different in Europe? I've asked my roommates, and the best answer we've come up with is that maybe you're an ecological survey major? Needing to sift through sand?
Anyway, please help me and explain this, I'm going crazy, and I should be writing up a Chem Lab due Thursday.
Other than that, good luck at college!
