Early is on time, on time is late, and if you're late, you're dead.
It is useful in life, but you spend a lot of time sitting in parking lots.
What's the cost of a hokie bird suit?
The classic serving dream is waking up in a cold sweat because you forgot to give someone ketchup
Did he ever tell you that you're not playing at his tempo?
I lived this... except it was the first exam of the semester. I was a biology major and for some classes that were reading intensive, going to class was just going over what we read in the book the week before. My ecology class was like this, so I went to the first class to get the syllabus and then skipped the rest.
Well, it was about the time of year for first exams of the semester and I go through all my syllabi to plan out my study schedule. I look at my Ecology syllabus and I realized my first exam was the day before. I about gave myself a panic attack. Luckily, further down the syllabus to says the lowest of 3 midterm exam scores would be dropped. So, luckily I was able to drop that exam, but I would not recommend that strategy. And many thanks to that Ecology professor at VT for having that rule.

# | Hokies Wrestling: Big Weekend in Blacksburg #13 UNC 8pm Friday and #3 Oklahoma St 2pm Sunday I can see us dominating the ACC. Hope we are able to take it one step further. Minimum team podium.
My marching band director operated under the '15 minutes early is on time, and on time is late' rule, which has turned out to be reasonably useful in life in general but definitely stress-inducing.
Yes. Or it's a very easy show, and I kinda know the parts, but the only problem is I've been brought in to perform on an instrument adjacent to my own instrument, (like say, a different drum) and I'm struggling my way through it.
Another one of my favs

So funny. When I first started bartending at Sharkey's I would have a recurring dream that my bed was the bar and it was surrounded by college students 4 deep screaming at me for either a beer, a drink, or shots.
In my dream, I couldn't serve everyone fast enough and all I really wanted to do is sleep. It was a horrible dream.
I would wake up from it totally relieved it was just a dream but man I was stressed as hell during it.
I've read about this style of dream before and its quite common. It's basically a generic anxiety dream. In your day to day life, you're encountering things that give you anxiety or stress but you suppress it in various ways to get thru. Well one way your body processes things is thru dreams and for whatever reason, this classroom/graduation variation trope is one of the ways it does. So when you have a dream like this, its never really about school or something from that time period, but its more about something going on in your life that you're dealing with. It's anxiety about preparation and the unknown. You've done everything you're suppose to do but do you really know if it'll work? What if you missed something?
I had the test dream a few times after graduating, but I'm 40 and still have dreams about being in marching band, on the field for competition and I have no idea what the music or the drill is. Sometimes I'll know the music but not the drill.
My best friend who marched tuba in Tennessee's band still has dreams about being late for game day call time. Apparently being late was worse than not knowing your stuff.

# | Hokies Wrestling: Big Weekend in Blacksburg #13 UNC 8pm Friday and #3 Oklahoma St 2pm Sunday Talked to Rock before the dual and he reiterated that he expects this to be the start of a dominant run for Tech in the ACC. He is super high on Tech's next couple recruiting classes, for obvious reasons.
All the time lol. Just had one where I had superbowl tickets, but kept forgetting my keys, shoes, tickets, etc.
Means you get to skip the play in games (you're not one of the 11/12 seeds who have to play those round 0 games.) So you're comfortably in, but right on the edge of having to play one of those play-ins.
That was infuriating, everybody else has to use a challenge and risk a timeout.
Now can they recover from the West Coast trip and avoid the loss so many teams have taken after.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Florida State (11-13) at Virginia Tech (17-8) 2pm ACCN I thought the same thing. But if we can see it, so can every AD out there. He will be high on a lot of candidate lists which means bidding war which means not cheap anymore. The time for cheap was while he was "unproven" at Indy State
Mike Young was probably who we needed to hire instead of James Johnson. That was likely a very good time to take a chance on him. And, to your point, I think he would have had a good 10-15 year run with the slow build and development of a roster.
Mine is that I cannot reach my watch station due to distance even though I'm on a frigate.
Watching both teams, Megan Duffy runs better half court stuff than Mike Young. This for a team that a little undersized, lives off pressure D and pushing tempo which is impressive. Half court they have great spacing, cut sharp, get side to side and create down hill driving lanes. Just overall more crisp.
They're using it for NCAA bracketology.
Anyway the ACC byes are just math, not something you'd need to predict.
I know mascot outfits are not cheap. Quick google shows generic, off the shelf options are $1-3k. I'm guessing for a Hokie bird it's around $10k each
