In Texas, everything is bigger. For example, the University of Texas. Many schools have a big building for all of the enigeering disciplines. Here in Texas? A 9-story building for mechanical engineering. A 10-story building for civil engineering. A 6- or 7-story building for electrical engineering. Chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, petroleum engineering - big buildings. You get my idea. Oh, and by the way, for some reason, the elevators don't work well together, they act pretty much by themselves (makes sense for engineering buildings, who should be controlling these things, right?). You can wait for 2 or 3 minutes for an elevator, then all of a sudden, all 3 are there and going up. Which brings me to my next point...
Learn how to use elevators! This is to you, mr. undergraduate who wears shorts when it's 37 degrees outside and didn't take a shower this morning and has his ipod blaring loud enough for the whole elevator to sing along and still be drowned out by the noise. Why do you have to get on the elevator on the 3rd floor and push the 4th floor button? Can you do it? Sure. Should you do it? No. Haven't you ever heard of the 2 floor rule? If you aren't going up at least two floors, use the stairs. They are right next to the elevator, and you could use the exercise, although it already seems that you aren't wearing deoderant. Three floors is even better. Oh, and that includes going down. Why do you wait at the elevators for 3 minutes on the 7th floor and then get on with everyone and press the 6th floor button? You have gravity on your side! You should know this because you are studying to be an engineer. We really don't love stopping at every floor. Which brings me to my next point...
That song is cool. Who is it?
