The Sam Survey

The Sam Survey I am RIDICULOUSLY hosed this week (three exams, a problem set, a lab report, a t-shirt design, a poster design, a UROP proposal, an EMS elections meeting, an overnight shift, a trip to New York, another exam..), but I havent posted at all in March, and if I stopped posted entirely while I was hosed it really doesnt look like Id put up my next entry to until about a few weeks after I graduate. Also, I made fun of Ben for not posting since, oh, I dunno, before Snively posted his first entry. His first entry, might I add, of like eight billion. Snively is totally making me look bad. The only thing that makes it worse is that I have two entries on hold that I really want to write, but cant, because Im only allowing myself a ten minute study break before I have to go back to reading six chapters for my first exam on Tuesday. So, therell be an entry responding to your questions from last entry, and the Burton 1 Cribs entry about the different rooms on Burton 1 soon, I promise. Because Ben did it last summer, and because my blog bio is essentially the same one I wrote in my first entry as a blogger, I recently decided to write a new blog bio. Not only that, but I decided to write a survey. It would be mind-blowing, I decided. It would have all those questions you always wondered but never wanted to ask, like my favorite kind of chocolate bite-sized candy or my favorite Guitar Hero. It would totally win all of Bens surveys. However, I ran into a wall while trying to write it, and so I requested help from Sam, whose mind is a creative vesicle of survey questions just waiting to be tapped. And so I tapped that. His mind, I mean. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you: The Sam Survey.
