Extended Lab Experiments

The title doesn't do the topic justice. It's way more than uncounted lab hours but let me not waste time discussing the title. So...Biology labs. Amis. We meet from 9:00-11:50 on Wednesday mornings. It's a one hour class. Amis. We just started a lab that lasts over a 3 week time period. There are four people to a group and each day, someone from your group must go into the lab and do the procedural tasks. EVERY DAY. Do the math and I'm going into the lab once every 4 days for the next three weeks. Meanwhile, I have 4 other classes with more important tests I need to study for. And I forgot to say weekends are included in this cute little experiment. If you check your calender, Easter should be coming up in the next 2 weeks. Do we get off for that? Nope. Someone from your group must go into the lab on EASTER SUNDAY to treat Daphnia Magna, a freshwater crustacean. AMIS. So while you all are enjoying a nice church service on Sunday Morning, April 3rd, me or someone from my group will be in a Biology Lab in Tuscaloosa counting Arthropods. Thanks Biology Department. I hate you. Amis.

In Room "Significant Other" Texting

This is a classic. An unwritten rule for couples for sure. When you happen to be in the same room and in eyesight of each other (whether together or not) it's just plain A-mis to text. I mean get it would make sense if maybe you never saw each other, i.e. long-lost friends, but let's be honest, you'll see each other in ten minutes. Definite A-mis.

Amis Blanks

An "amis blank" refers to a extended period of time when you are unable to think of anything that is Amis. When suffering through this blank, you usually try to force or think of something that isn't really amis or funny. Kind of like a relationship that just really isn't there. It doesn't work. As a result, your amis confidence decreases as well as your self-esteem. On another note, I want to apologize for this amis blank which im sure has caused most of you to question my amis status. I'm deeply sorry. Amis.

Phantom Vibrates

This is a situation known to every cell phone owner who keeps his or her phone on vibrate. You feel your phone vibrate in your pocket, get excited that somebody wants to talk to you, pull your phone out, and see that nothing has happened at all. Besides being the only thing that would let people know how amputees feel about the whole "phantom itch" thing, this phenomenon can be very frustrating. The worst scenario is when you feel your phone vibrate, and it isn't even in the same room as you...and you already knew that it wasn't. Amis.

Seperate Hot/Cold Sink Spouts

As a hygienic user of restrooms, I find it common courtesy to wash my hands after any use of said restroom. This serves many great purposes in life such as preventing the spread of infection, making my hands clean, etc. One thing about restrooms I will never understand, however, is this. Granted, that is not my finger, just a like-minded soul on the internet. Whose idea was this? There is not combination of hot and cold possible. If I want to wash my hands in warm water, I must switch back and forth from very chilly to boiling lava hot spouts. Not only is it highly inefficient, it is also very uncomfortable. Amis.
