Haha

So we had a study session for Proofs today.

I use the phrase “study session” very loosely because we were all so stressed that we were just being off-topic as hell.

Things we talked about:

  • Our favorite books
  • Dante’s Inferno
  • The levels of hell
  • Getting masticated by the devil and how awesome that would be
  • Getting masticated in general
  • Doing the “getting masticated by the devil” interpretive dance
  • How “do an interpretive dance of getting masticated by the devil” would be fantastic extra credit on the final
  • How someone with parasigmatism would ever tell anybody they had it
  • REALLY DUMB MATH JOKES
  • “I’m not happy until I’ve been groped!”
  • Our favorite words
  • Trying to figure out what de-masticating would entail
  • Doing the “de-mastication” interpretive dance
  • How much better our final would be if we could just do interpretive dances of our proofs
  • How much better our final would be if we could just sing and/or play an instrument depicting our proofs
  • Plans to bring clarinets/saxophones/cellos/guitars/pianos to our final and just play Christmas music instead
  • The clarinet vs. saxophone debate
  • How sexy Word 2013 is
  • The meanings of our first names
  • Making fun of the meanings of each other’s first names
  • Making fun of each other’s majors (we’re a mix of math, physics, math ed., and engineering)
  • Making fun of each other in general


Things we didn’t talk about:

  • How to do proofs

Yes, our professor was there, too. I think he was just as burnt out as we all were; he was just laughing along with us (and telling the majority of the really dumb math jokes).

I’m going to freaking miss these dork bombs.

Well, that was the most depressing study session ever.

So we spent six hours this afternoon “studying” for the big stats exam tomorrow. In those six hours, I learned:
– I am the youngest person here by about a year and a half
– I’m the only one without a significant other
– Everybody else seems to be a lot further along in life (aside from the school aspect) than me
– Aside from being in grad school, I am very, very different from these people

Yeah. It doesn’t sound that bad when it’s written down, but six hours of other people telling you about their lovers and their relationships kind of sucks when you’re the only one in the room who’s very, very lonely.
