<p>yea... my mom's company was gobbled up about a month ago by a bigger (not better. i'm loyal!) company. they've spent the past few weeks figuring out logistics, and now they just offered her 1/2 of her old salary and told her to take it or leave it.</p>
<p>"i will be a filthy poor student next year"</p>
<p>I already sort of am lol</p>
<p>No, I can't go to ADOCH. Oh well...</p>
<p>Ugh! Stupid economy! Yeah, my dad's been suffering from it, too. I don't think he's held a position for more than two years at a time.</p>
<p>let's take over the world and call it "brunoniana" and abolish the economy.</p>
<p>that wouldn't work. but the economy is still very stupid. :(</p>
<p>The Ratty is called so because it's a shortened version of Refrectory. They allegedly named it the Sharpe Refrectory so the students couldn't turn it into something obscene, and the students at the time just rose to the challenge. (This is according to my brother)</p>
<p>Sorry to hear it, funkyspoon.</p>
<p>LOL if only we could change the world...we could become a communist nation! Just kidding!</p>
<p>But Ratty doesn't even sound like Refectory. I guessed that was it, but it didn't seem right.</p>
<p>"let's take over the world and call it "brunoniana" and abolish the economy"</p>
<p>I second that motion. Long Live Brown!</p>
<p>hehe, it seems so strange to eat in a place called the "ratty!"</p>
<p>Indeed lol</p>
<p>I hope the food is OK :)</p>
<p>I've heard it's good. Supposedly healthy. Lots of delicious vegetarian options for you, my man.</p>
<p>I thought the food was fine when I ate there. Nothing really special, but nothing bad. The V-Dub was nicer.</p>
<p>"Lots of delicious vegetarian options for you, my man."</p>
<p>Ivy Room for me all the way (except for supper and breakfast lol).</p>
<p>oh my god you're all clove-smoking vegetarians</p>
<p>Not me! I'm a alcohol-drinking meataholic! (Well, I DRINK occassionally and IN MODERATION).</p>
<p>RaboKarabekian, you are the only girl I know that says "w00t" lol</p>
<p>I am not clove-smoking (I have never done any drugs/alcohol lol).</p>
<p>Really? I'm actually the only person I know (in real life) who says it. I think I picked it up from a friend of mine at Northwestern.</p>
<p>Oh I know a ton of people who use it.</p>
