April 5, 2010 -
2PM In a stunning turn of events, the Flunk Day e-mail consists of Roger Taylor announcing his resignation. A new tradition is born.
10PM Suspicious vehicles spotted in Dick Blick parking lot.
11PM A bright flash of light is seen coming from the Northwest.
April 6, 2010
5 AM Some people yell that it is Flunk Day. Unfortunately, they start out in Hamblin and the upperclassmen only grumble. We all go back to sleep.<--YOU ARE NO FUN. FACT.
April 7, 2010
LET'S REVIEW THE FACTS.
- Flunk Day is Tomorrow.
- Don't assume that all events on the calenders actually exist. In one case a few years ago, the boy's baseball team was away at a game when Flunk Day occurred.
- Don't rely on the forecast. Rain just helps in the making of the mud pit.
- Don't believe any of the upperclassmen. Ever.
- Don't believe any of the faculty. Ever.
- Just because the caf is baking a lot of cookies does not mean Flunk Day is tomorrow.
- It is also not necessarily Flunk Day if the grass has just been mowed.
- Large trailers spotted at random businesses around town does not mean they are blow-up carnival rides.
- Flunk Day will not be on a Friday. Too many people would end up in the hospital from non-stop partying.
- The Flunk Day planners will not give you clues as to when the actual day is.
- Everything they say and do may just be screwing with you. Always keep that in mind.
Here is also a map from last year's Flunk Day that we can update this year:
Notable sightings would include Helmut leaving the caf at odd hours of the morning, etc.
This morning was a very large and well organized and very loud Flunk Day scare. They had sirens, pots and pans, and at least twenty participants, one of whom screamed, "YOU WON'T CATCH ME ALIVE!" as he ran away. This was a very stupid scare considering a.) the safety e-mail hasn't been sent out yet b.) IT'S THE SECOND WEEK OF APRIL, HARDLY.
Flunk Day will be April 29th. The powers that be have spoken.
-On Friday (April 9th), I overheard something in the campus life office about "this being the big week". Jenn looked super busy and the Flunk Day planners were seen leaving the office carrying a box and a bag. Also, we Facebooked a few of the admissions visitors that were scheduled to come early this week and we think that at least one of them is a completely made up person. Flunk Day is THIS WEEK!
This week is a big week because all the drafts of club budget requests are due and it's the housing lottery. Of course campus life is busy this week. Also, I believe Craig Southern would kill someone if housing lottery was messed up. Flunk Day is not this week!
April 13th
Flunk Day email sent out, Flunk Day is tomorrow! And if not, senior meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings, so it will be a good night.
-Has anyone noticed that there are no significant campus events going on on Earth Day like there usually are? Flunk Day??
-Although people are suggesting things to the contrary: Flunk Day will NOT be Thursday, April 15th. This is the day of the Joe W. Morgan lecture, which is a HUGE deal and they have an editor from Rolling Stone coming, who has spoken on the phone with individual students and talked about her visit and what she's going to talk about while here. Plus they made reservations for her for dinner. -In response to the post above...flunk day can be placed on the same day as a huge event if it was not scheduled WAY in advance. It has happened before. Look back, flunk day almost always is placed during SOMETHING on campus. I still would not rule Wednesday or Thursday out.
-START DIGGING THE MUD PIT This is a very time consuming and difficult task that takes a long time to accomplish.
