Enjoy!

| ...taken from Vicky, Jeff, and a whole slue of people who have relatively similar surveys. 
THREE THINGS THAT SCARE ME:
01 | Snakes/reptiles.
02 | What Jeff said: "Spiders. I hate how they
crawl, and how some of them are venomous, and how they're all over the
place, and how some of them are hairy, and how... I just hate them. Agh
gross." Plus, how they sound when you catch/squish them. Ewwww.
03 | Blood gushing out of a living being (not paper cuts or common injuries, but--LARGE amounts of blood spewing out of somewhere)

03 | Waiting in verrrrry long lines...outside....in the extreme heat/humidity/sun....sweaty & thirsty...with no protection (shade or hat). Yuck. 
---------------------------------------------------
THREE THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND:
01 | Politics.
02 | Why are some desks in classrooms (especially college) sooooo small? College students are adults and therefore adult-sized....how can desks be so small that you can't even put your notebook/textbook/laptop down without having part of it hanging off the edge of the desk? How much of an investment would it be just to make the desks/chairs in classrooms slightly better for students?
03 | EECS code =P

02 | Ride a motor bike (the sporty ones....not those extremely loud Harley's)
03 | Get up too fast from sitting---my bad ankle gives out if I don't get up properly
----------------------------------------------------

02 | Broiling/roasting chicken and/or vegetables and/or fish in the oven....it's what I call a "holiday" or "Christmas" smell
03 | Fresh air RIGHT AFTER it rains, or when it's really foggy
----------------------------------------------------

| The scariest thing at work today.....
After speaking with my group members about our plans for the day, I went to lab to start the projects for the day, which I predicted shouldn't take any longer than 2 hours to set-up--in time for lunch, when completed. It was ~9:45am the latest.
There were no clocks in that room.
When I came out and checked the time, clocks read: 1:30pm... 
WT____???!!???! How could that be?????????
At first, I thought the clock I checked when I got out was wrong, so I asked others in the hallway for the time and checked other clocks, to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Nope. It definitely was 1:30 pm.....then 1:40, after my plight of confusion.
SOMEHOW......I worked thru the morning, lunch, etc., without feeling any dramatic time progression, and without feeling hungry at all---even though the entire time was spent on my feet.
Creepy.....................
