This is funny, overheard at western. It’s sad, it does nothing about the stereotype that is Western University. I’ve never been a believer in stereotypes, after all, they are derived from the wisdom of the masses. When I came to Waterloo, I remember walking around in first year, I noticed so many kids making reference to jokes about the natural log, electrons, and things that were non-linear. We would get drunk and wonder about funny names for molecules, or get even more drunk and talk then fight about the differences between statics and statistics (of course both were slurred, after we smelled a few beer caps)…and my personal favorites included all discussions and references to random rates of change. Within weeks of first year, I knew I was going to enjoy my stay at Waterloo. And, I wouldn’t have changed them for the world. It’s been fun. 33 days and counting until finals are over…almost half a decade later.
