Segue: ASUC Elections are next week (not that anyone is reading this). I think you should vote Misha Leybovich for President and APPLE Engineering for Senate, Chris Abad, Peter Chung, Grace Hsu, and Igor Tregub.
Prank 1: Early Daylight Savings
Being in Cory on such a nice morning, I took it upon myself to cause a little bit of mischief. deQue decided to take a nap on the bean bag, and JRed IMed me with the idea of changing the clocks on her. I replied that it was a good idea. Nothing happened of it, and he too went to nap.
With both of them asleep, I jumped at the opportunity, and moved the clock ahead an hour, and changed JRed's laptop time ahead an hour (Unfortunately, I could not change the time on the department computers.) So I continued my homework and my ponderings for prank 2, until deQue awoke.
She was convinced that it was 5 a.m., and asked why I had waken her at 3 (as she had wanted), but I said that Aaron had gone to sleep at 2:45. So with that, she walked over to her computer to continue her work, and then noticed the time difference. She looked back and forth between the computer clock and the real clock, and it dawned on her what had happened.
Aaron, having had some part in this idea's inception, was not as surprised by it, though a little.
Prank 2: Free beer
The prank I concluded with after some thinking was to prank the well placed HKN display case (the IEEE display case is in the least travelled main corridor of 2nd floor Cory). They had a sign in their case advertising "FREE TUTORING/EXAMS." I would have liked to jumble around the words or make similarly spaced words, but I did not have the time for that. Instead I took some similarly colored construction paper, and taped "BEER" in the open space on the top right of the paper (right after "FREE"). It may have worked better if the colors were more similar, but no matter. Additionally, I wrote at the top of the whiteboard in their office, "Where is the
The "BEER" sign was taken down by 10:45 a.m. I saw it sitting in the HKN Cory office, but a check later in the day turned up nothing. I've decided that certain HKN officers (osh) have no humor.
Prank 3: Mosquito Attack?
Okay, so this wasn't a prank, and even if it were, I didn't pull it off. I went with got and solo to the Durant Food Court so that solo could get some food. Along the way, we ran into ipixi leaving a store, and she joined us. At the Food Court, we were talking, and having a good time. Ipixi started talking about how she was screaming while she was SMing, for someone to kill one of those big mosquito-like bugs. We had just exited that topic for a few minutes, when she lets out a really loud scream and ducks to her left. I thought some mosquito had attacked her, but I didn't see anything moving laterally. She said she felt something hit her head, and not seeing anything, I glanced up to see one of the many pigeons that roam that area. The pigeon had dropped one right on top of her head. It was fairly disgusting. But after wiping it off with some tissues, she went to get her eyebrows plucked and the rest of us meandered back to Cory.
