Why I'm still in DSO + Edwinisms Repost
I'm not good at funny joke blogs, so I'll post something nice and keep it short.
The number reason why I have yet to leave DSO:
Enough board members are competent, and being around said people in a (relatively) functioning organization is awesome.
Sometimes I forget how horribly fucked (I hope cussing fund is over, because I'm not paying. The gov't is poor and can't give me my worth's pay for the summer. They can't afford to give me a box of tissues either. Er, also like to say though, it's otherwise great. This probably breaks 100 rules of proper writing, for one, it's in the middle of curse phrase.) up organizations usually were/are. So, it makes me appreciate DSO that much more.
Oh, and since you guys brought it up. I must repost Captain Nom's Edwinisms:
--Being scolded---
Normal person: Takes the advice to heart and avoids making infractions in the future.
Edwin: Removes all points of contact to prevent future scoldings.
--Classwork---
Normal person: Balances extracurricular activities and classwork to make sure that both are equally supported.
Edwin: Takes OS and spends the majority of his time doing OS work until Professor Claus personally comes from his house to inform him just how far behind he is.
--Dating---
Normal person: Has a romantic friday evening with someone they care about.
Edwin: Has dinner with Anthony.
-Keeping organized---
Normal person: Keeps a planner or journal. Neatly files important documents in a system such that if they're needed again they can easily be found.
Edwin: Outsources to India.
Cheers, and play Raincat if you are actually reading this and are rather bored : ]

A better top 10 list
10. Things we all said we would do but never did, (or that we did and sucked) (pong, hr intragroup activities, etc)
9. Matt and Eric never getting anything done. Their meetings: "so, dso" "you mean take out the s and add T, A?" "yeah, ok"
8. Me never getting anything done (to my credit, it only took 2 semesters to get wishlist working)
7. Edwin doing the equivalent of 4 people's work, and then disappearing for 2 weeks to do OS. Then going into hibernation, only to having to wake up to finish OS
6. Telling people during mixers about Aayush "He just... disappeared..." "what?" "we don't know where he is"
5. Talking about DOTA during board meetings so much that they banned it. As well as "epic"
4. Using 213 as an excuse to not do work. "I can't, malloc is due next Friday" *already scoring 98/100 on the tests*
3. Matt's story about recruiting Brittney "I bet you didn't expect..." "yeah..."
2. Finding out that Rajit swears 2x as much as me
1. Going to YII and falling asleep and being bored off my ass. "I saw you fall asleep" "stfu, don't think I didn't see you too?"

DSO BLOG!
BLOG ABOUT ANYTHING! One of the biggest things we found on the 360 reviews was that we don't know a lot about each other. Share some fun stories, DSO struggles, or anything that is on the top of your mind. First five people to write blogs that Rajit and I find blogworthy get a dollar!
