Rules to Drink By

Caught this over at banklocator. I’ve bolded my favorites.

1. If you owe someone money, always pay them back in a bar. Preferably during happy hour.
2. Always toast before doing a shot.
3. Whoever buys the shot gets the first chance to offer a toast.
4. Change your toast at least once a month.
5. Buying someone a drink is five times better than a handshake.
6. Buying a strange woman a drink is still cool. Buying all her drinks is dumb.
7. Never borrow more than one cigarette from the same person in one night.
8. When the bartender is slammed, resist the powerful urge to order a slightly-dirty, very-dry, in-and-out, super-chilled half-and-half martini with a lemon twist. Limit orders to beer, straight shots and two-part cocktails. (especially when i’m in line behind you)
9. Get the bartender’s attention with eye contact and a smile.
10. Do not make eye contact with the bartender if you do not want a drink. Read more

Time to Blog

I came into the lab and Anna and Caleb were updating their blogs, so I decided to update mine. Nothing is really going on right now. I’m almost done with classes, completely done with schoolwork. Now all I have left to do are my finals. Anna had a nice post about what she will miss from college. I’m going to copy her idea and now tell you what I will miss.

  • People at work, including AnnaBanana and CaraBear
  • My roomate for 3 years, Chuckles
  • History classes
  • Drinking
  • Poppycocks
  • Being able to skip an entire day without repercussions
  • As much as I hate it, Springfield, and more specifically, being able to walk anywhere
  • Friends that have graduated, or will be graduating, that I will no longer see

    • Things I will not miss

  • Certain people (most of you know who i’m talking about)
  • HST 551
  • HST 418 busy work (lesson plans, etc)
  • Filling the printers at work

    • That’s all I can think of so far. Good luck on finals everyone. Good luck in life.

    Things to Do

    These are things i need to finish (or start) by the end of the semester:

  • Finish HST 330 Paper
  • Start and finish HST 551 Paper
  • Write one more lesson plan
  • Write two responses for two lesson plans
  • Internet critique for HST 418
  • See two more plays for THE 101
  • Compare/Contrast paper for THE 101
  • Two more artifacts for e-Portfolio
  • Finals

    • Now, I want to die. That’s a lot of work in two weeks.
