CTYers Swarm Walmart

Last week 257 CTYers went to Walmart. For thirty minutes we took over Walmart! It's a good thing that it didn't rain, otherwise we would've had to ALL go to the Kline Athletic Center (and do nothing). 


So... time to mention our "productive" schedule...
In the morning we wake up and eat delicious breakfast any time between 7:30 and 8:45 AM. Sometimes there are morning runs before this time. Then we head to class, where we learn about, build, and destroy electronic components. One time we were learning about potentiometers aka pots, and we destroyed them (as smoke came out), thus came the birth of an inside joke: smoking pots (Yes, I know it's not that funny). Then we head to lunch, which is called "tater time," because the cafeteria serves potatoes or sweet potatoes almost all meals. Afterwards, the class goes back to class and builds or analyzes circuits before going to two interesting activities.
"Interesting activities" include John Freeman Cult (don't ask me how it started), Fandom Friday (for the fangirl/boy inside of us), and more listed below. 



Then we go to dinner (MORE FOOD!!) and study hall. At study hall, we read from 2 textbooks and do hard problem sets (luckily we can "work together in groups"- aka my smart friends helping stupid me). 

Look at these big boys Electrical Engineering B students have to read. 

After two hours of study hall, we finally have Meet Market- one hour of meeting other CTYers. So far, most people have been kind, friendly, and outgoing. And this is the perfect time to be socially awkward and start forced conversations. No, just kidding. Well, another option is staying in the dorms. Then comes a brief hall meeting and lights out. 

Lights out (n.) - the quality of being 100% quiet, still, and asleep after 10:30 P.M.

Unfortunately, our hall's R.A. can detect even the smallest peep, so my friends usually get caught. Only twice have we made lights out. Sad, right?
