lostfan Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So my cousin out in California was telling me how she was out this past weekend and got pretty blasted, so at around 2 am or thereabouts they go to this place called Tacos al Carbon b/c that's what's open. She is the only non-Hispanic person in there, she speaks a little Spanish, but it's crappy. This guy (who is Mexican) comes up and tries to talk to her. She's still pretty drunk so she figures she's gonna mess with him some, so she starts to ask him "you got that paper?" meaning if you wanna talk to me you gotta have money. Except she verbalizes this thought in Spanish as "tienes papeles?" The guy's table starts laughing and she doesn't know why, so thinking she just successfully said something in Spanish she says it again a couple more times, and louder. But she doesn't realize what she's asking is "do you have papers?" which of course if you ask that to someone who's Mexican, it means something along the lines of "are you an illegal immigrant" or "do you belong in this country". Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 How do you guys combat burnout? I'm taking 18 credit hours (including a 3 hour night class tonight). I also get up at 4:45 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays for work (to film workouts). I realize that it's not as hectic as a lot of you people in the working world and what not, but it's starting to get at me. I'm physically tired most of the day (I fall asleep in most classes), but I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I try and sneak in an afternoon nap when I can but that's really dependent on what I have to get done. I don't know, but I've just all of a sudden hit a wall this semester. It's my most intense in terms of class load (i.e. 6 actual classes, no zero credit/half credit/required fluff courses), but I have to do it in order to graduate in five years.

ThunderBolt Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 That sucks, man. I have a lot of trouble doing the whole nap thing too, so what I’ll do is regardless of how much crap I know I have going on, I’ll have a specific time set out for me to just go anywhere secluded (not in my room and not near a crowd, usually upstairs in the Union on campus) and read or just relax. I don’t know if you have that type of personality or that kind of interest but to be alone with just your thoughts is a hell of a thing when you’re having a tough time.

Heads22 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Again, it's a popular misconception. I drink maybe 3-5 times a month, typically only on weekends and never when I have stuff to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Again, it's a popular misconception. I drink maybe 3-5 times a month, typically only on weekends and never when I have stuff to do. Make that month into a week (2 tops) and when I have stuff to do.... still drink. I will probably not live past 40 at the rate I've destroyed my body.

I haven't had s*** to do this week and knew I had a big test on Friday, but as it comes down to it, I'm still awake at 4:30 in the morning studying for my test tomorrow. I could have studied every night and probably would have been better off, but where's the fun in that? I guess I thought waiting until the night before seemed like a good idea, especially when I went out last night and got hammered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
