Georgetown sucks!
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 6th, 2004 3:55 PM Author: emerald sandwich I just moved into my university-owned townhouse for this summer and it's a TTT. There is literally no lighting. None. Not that it would really matter because in my double room, only 1 out of the 5 outlets works. There is no internet connection. If I want it I have to pay for it and it's not cheap. Hence I come to you from the library once again. Finally, my roommate is THE definition of a Jane Hoya and since I haven't had to room with one of those before, who knows how it'll work out (at least I was the first one there and claimed the bigger room and the bottom bunk). Gaahhhhhhh what had started out to be so promising is looking dark, very dark. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=39518&forum_id=1#641482) |

Perhaps you can complain to the university about the outlets not working and about the lack of lighting? |

|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:10 PM Author: emerald sandwich I am taking two classes this summer. A 'jane hoya' doesn't have a concrete definition per se but any G'town student can point one out to you. Tall, rich, evenly tanning-bed tinted, perfectly clipped and highlighted hair, manicured, pedicured, and wears a lot of Polo, Burberry, and J. Crew.
Sigh. |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:12 PM Author: jet-lagged nursing home mood How did Georgetown get the name jane hoyas? I thought their name was only hoyas. What type of classes are you taking? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=39518&forum_id=1#641914) |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:14 PM Author: emerald sandwich Subject: Nursing Which should be pretty fun, ultra-small classes and I like the prof.
I don't know where it sprang from, but 'jane and joe hoya' have been commonly used to describe that prevalent "type" of student here since at least 1972, as I learned from my aunt's yearbook. |

|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:18 PM Author: emerald sandwich Not graduating early, just lessening my workload for later on. We have to take inorganic/organic chem but no physics, just a shitload of Bio and an intro to Stats class for math. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=39518&forum_id=1#641953) |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:26 PM Author: jet-lagged nursing home mood Is inorganic in addition to general and organic chem? I don't think medical school requires inorganic so nursing majors would have more requirements than perspective doctors. Later on, do you plan to take the minimum amount of classes allowed in a semester or something like that? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=39518&forum_id=1#642011) |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:30 PM Author: emerald sandwich We take orgo and inorganic as the same class (one semester, it was insanity, as you can imagine). Later on I took orgo II to further my chem background. I learned how to memorize the entire periodic table including element name, number, and atomic mass but still can't solve a pOH problem.
I don't want to take fewer classes, but I want to get my general requirements out of the way so I can dabble in some other things, possibly Econ or another Ethics course, for example. |

|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:32 PM Author: emerald sandwich Depends what the course is. I did that for Stats and Orgo but they won't let me do it for the two nursing classes I'll be taking, they don't want us being taught intricate shit by TTT profs.

Date: June 6th, 2004 5:31 PM Author: Ivory kitchen wagecucks Jane Hoya:
I went to Georgetown....your definition of a "Jane Hoya" was perfect....I would love to hear your "Joe Hoya" definition.
BTW, I lived in a townhouse senior year....also no lighting and no internet (we were forced to provide our own of both...) the location was great though. |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:35 PM Author: emerald sandwich Subject: Townhouses are great, don't get me wrong. As much as I want to stay on campus though I'm jealous of friends in Burleith who had their landlord provide the dishes, silverware, TV, and cable internet.
Joe Hoya... I think we both know the first couple things that come to mind here. Flipped up collar on the (quite possibly pink) polo, khakis; and if not that, then a "Georgetown Lacrosse" or crew t-shirt and the inevitable beirut cup in one hand and Jane Hoya's ass in the other. |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:41 PM Author: Ivory kitchen wagecucks right on with the Joe Hoya description.....
from other threads, you seem to be "into" weed and such....too bad I didn't know you at Georgetown, I was the only one of my friends who was into "expanding my consciousness"....drinking every weekend was sooo boring, plus I like to go to a lot of Dead/Phish type shows---and they are usually enchanced by certain substances.
There would be days at Georgetown when I felt like the only person wearing a tie-dye within a 10 miles radius :) |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:44 PM Author: emerald sandwich Subject: What year did you graduate? I knew a lot of kids from 2003 and some from 2004, quite a few potheads in fact. Honestly, quite a low-key bunch and very much interspersed with the Joes and Janes out there.
There's no chance you worked for the Corp, did you? |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:46 PM Author: Ivory kitchen wagecucks Didn't work for the Corp. I was an '02 grad....
There was one guy I bought pot from pretty consistently (Class of '01).....but, I didn't find too many potheads...I am kind of shy though.... |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:48 PM Author: emerald sandwich Subject: You missed out. There are a few pretty well-established dealers on campus now, but it's still hard to find things like shrooms on demand and I've never acid here. Rumor has it that coke (and to a lesser degree, ecstasy) is huge here but I don't have the money for it anyways, maybe that's the power-couple Hoyas' secret though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=39518&forum_id=1#642219) |
|
Date: June 6th, 2004 5:51 PM Author: Ivory kitchen wagecucks Yeah, I never saw any acid either.
As for coke...it was pretty big when I was there...many a party I went to had lines being blown all over....it is certainly on the DL but still pretty big---
I never went for coke (not really my thing)...but it was funny when I was at a party and everyone would be blowing lines and I would go to smoke a bowl and they would give ME a weird look :) |

I mean, I'm serious, but since you don't know beirut is the same thing as beer pong (depending on who you ask) so it's just a regular plastic cup with beer in it.
