[Merritt]

Honestly, my MS (Multiple Sclerosis) has been bothering me for a while now. Even had a nightmare about having a disease so bad they thought of putting me down ):

^Just realized you are the creator of v. 23! Noice
>Going in for MRIs (Like three, back to back) and I'm the tiniest bit scared. I swear to the lords of music that they better have classical songs I can listen to to drown out that scary machine
v Tell be about the craziest thing that happened to you!

[montmorency]

dunno about the craziest but i was driving home from the mechanic when my car broke down. then we weren't able to change the battery due to how the car was made so it had to be towed the next day... back to the mechanic that told me i needed a battery change... also once my car engine blew but i managed to park that bad boy perfectly (she did not survive)

^ good luck with the mris!! it'll be alright
> if the person that opened the cs pound before our ornithology lecture is reading this, please pm me this is so funny. i saw you open cs in a humanities lecture two semesters ago too. cs shapes a person i think (i hope your next ornithology quiz goes okay bc mine won't)

[Chevalier]

This is a bit niche but me and my friend are always arguing over which historian is better, Thucydides or Herodotus. Within classics there's hundreds of papers arguing one or the other to be the 'father of history'. It is.. basically like Minecraft Youtuber fanboying, but disguised behind a layer of academia. Anyway, I argue that Thucydides is the better historian, even if people think he's boring (personally I love him) his book is an actual focused history that 'cites sources' (as much as you can consider "Name son of [X]" as a citation) and also doesn't go off on random story telling tangents. I will say I am also a bit biased towards Thucydides because I just find it more enjoyable. Anyway...
^ As someone who did so poorly in chemistry he got an 'ungraded' on his final exam: (genuinely) good for you. It must be satisfying to master.
> I have encountered the rarely encountered problem of having too much food... Basically just ended up getting handed a bunch of leftovers from work. I mean, it's kind of nice to not have to cook for the next few days, but I have the dilemma of a) not wanting to waste food so I eat it while not hungry then b) feeling like it was wasted because I ate it when I wasn't hungry. Oh well. At least I have fancy pizza.
v What have you done recently that you've been proud of?
