linda told me to think of 20 things i learned at Penn, so here goes.

1. it's ok to call your teacher by their first name. (i called my econ teacher Hervé. that bastard made our tests too hard)
2. if you have a class at 1:00 don't go to sleep at 4:30 in the morning, or else you'll miss lunch and wake up at 4:30 in the afternoon.
3. if you take a shower, try not to go back to sleep or else you will develop a fro that doesn't go away with time.
4. never try to study in your bed after you wake up without taking a shower. falling asleep is inevitable.
5. never get in a fight of any kind with darcy, because she is vicious when she is mad.
6. never sit or stand anywhere near paulie's or andy's feet because boy do they stank!
7. never go near their sandals either.
8. do not go to gameworks on ten buck tuesday, because you will have to wait on lines to play the good games.
9. when traveling in groups, never try to exit the subway at the last minute. (linda and i forgot who else know exactly what i'm talking about)
10. if you're a guy never let your backside face richard or heesung because you will feel a sharp pain in your rear end. (azeem is the expert on this one, he can describe what it feels like)
11. upenn cafeteria food blows. (everyone knows what i'm talking about)
12. watching movies is the only thing there is to do at penn.
13. never be lazy when you have to return a video to the video library, the fee can be wallet-emptying. (i'm sure george can relate to this one, what was it, 11 bucks for enemy of the state?)
14. do not bother suah when she's hungry.
15. do not play cards (korean or american) for money with paul because it is ineveitable that you lose, in my case, 32 bucks. (suah almost ended up in my shoes)
16. andy gives a painful massage that will never feel good.
17. linda's back is rock hard, workout before you try to give her a massage.
18. don't hang out with azeem unless you like sick humor.
19. i picked up an unusual accent somewhere during the six weeks at penn.
20. the letters BR in a BR Blast are the initials for Baskin Robbins. it is not a shortened word for brrrr which means cold. (the BR Blast is cold however)

well that's it, those are 20 things i learned during my stay at penn.
