it's 2.30 am. I have an 8 am class, and I think that I overdosed ....

overdosed in caffeine that is!!

before I try desperately to sleep, I thought I may write down some of professors statements
* I suck at remembering, I try to catch the soul of the statement as much as I can!

Dr. Dolling in his engineering scholars luncheon speech
With his British accent, big smile, and his famous joyful, humorous spirit : "All of you might have had an easy A .. may be 2, 3, or more! You all felt the joy and happiness because of it, which was soon to dissappear. On the other hand, that hard A that you had to struggle for, you will never lose pride of it"

Later in the same speech
" After four long years in undergrad, I am sure all of you are keen for a paycheck. Though, being able to get a paycheck, doesn't mean we have to. You have to find something that you are passionate about, and dedicate yourself for."

Dr. Varghesse, at conan's pizza after his first midterm ...
"when was the first time you solved a differential equation?" we trying to answer.."last yr","high school" .. Dr. Varghesse, "each person has solved a differential equation when he was 1 yr old. Each one, tried to set, fell, and corrected for it!"

"I ask you to walk here on a 1 ft wide 10 feet long strip .. everyone does it ..
I put the same strip on two barrels, half of you does it
Put the SAME strip between to skyscrappers, none of you will do it .. it's the fear of the consequences that paralize us!"

Dr. Goldestein
First day of class
"I was told that I'm the smallest most intidmating guy ever"
commenting on an airfoil I had drawn on my first report ..
"This is not an airfoil ... this is a flying hot dog!!"

Dr. Mear
"Man .. I don't feel good .."

Dr. Detmire
"*eff* those Japanese"

Dr. Hull
"that's not a pilot ... it means you can take off and land!"

Dr. Rodin pointing at me across a big welch hall after suggesting a way to solve a problem
"If you do that in the test .. I swear ... I'll flunk you ... I've done if before ... but that guy deserved to fail, you don't .. don't make me do it"

Dr. Mark
"Aerospace engineer that can't fly is like a mechanic that can't drive"
"Nothing in space is cheap"
"we have gone to the moon ... natural human progress is to go to mars next!"

Dr. Nethercut (Intro. to ancient egypt class) after I showed off my arabic skills ...
"I'm honored to have you in my class"

Pilotare conversing with Dr. Merchand
" What are you doing your research about?" trying to converse with her
" satelites ... (blah ... blah ... blah ... blah)" I aint going space, so I shut down as soon as she said satelites.
"What about you ... what do you wanna do" she asked back ..
"hmm .. not quite sure .. tho, I know I want to work with designing planes" I answered, surprised that she asked back.
"haha .. design planes ... there isn't much about desiging planes now ... unless u go in military aircrafts" she said in a typical space ppl sarcastic way
"There are plenty of things to do with designing planes ... and I wont go to military what so ever"
"Why ?"
"I really don't want my mom to see the aircarft that I designed for the first time when it's bombing our house!!" I bluntly said
"quite a dilemma there"
" Not really ... it's already a decided thing .. aing going there!"

I just got back from Jordan ... standing in the hallway catching up with friends, when Dr. Stearman passes by, and hears our conversation. He stops and shakes hand with me saying
" well ... wellcome back ... you've made it home safely"
"hmm ... sir .. thanks ... but I was home, safe ... relaxing, eating and watching TV!!"
"well ... with all the chaos there I'm sure it's much safer here" he responded
" haha ... thanks sir" I answered to drop the topic and let him just go, and I was thinking "what are you talking about .. I was safer than ever ..."
