(First Year Engineer)

Background stories to FYE

Engineering Chemistry professor Wild sounds exactly like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

His laptop was running low on battery and he said "We need a wire... To get more POWER".

He tends to sweat during lectures, producing stains on his shirt, which some students swear he changes between lectures.

While doing a number line on the board, he said, "Do you know where x is? NO. Because I didn't tell you!" And proceeded to laugh at his students.

Engineers encounter a paradoxical ratio between preparing for the next day's tutorial and getting enough sleep.

A joke was made that a person was under the influence and having hallucinations, and had one of starting studying Engineering.

There are no free lunch seats at the Neelsie centre. 4 seater tables are either full, or occupied by one anti-social person. No exceptions.

Our friend group consists of 4 guys and a girl, and we went to a sushi restaurant, while that afternoon our tutorial had a question for which the answer was '84 000 fish'. Our female member intensely dislikes wasabi.

The Imperial measurement system (yards, feet, pounds, etc) is terrible. It causes a headache when it needs to be converted to SI units.

One of the guys in our group trolled another guy into believing that our impending tutorial four-dimensional and five-dimensional vectors.

Our female friend was cold from classroom air conditioning, to which one of the guys responded by blowing breath at her to mockingly "heat" her. Referring to the unit for energy 'erg' , and using a direct Afrikaans pronunciation, she said "It's not erg enough", implying lack of needed heat.

At the end of the sushi evening, the girl said, "Well, that was interesting..." Her tone not sounding convincing, I said, "Unrelated to the evening, but imagine you spend the night with someone, and afterward they just say, 'Well, that was interesting.' I cant think of anything more subliminally insulting"

Lyrics:

We need a wire, to get more power.
*plug in*

(Verse 1)
Engineering, Chemistry
Get to the choppa
Come with me!
Subatomic particles
Make my brain hurt.
Look at these stains
Gotta change my shirt.

Do you know where x is?
No, I didn't tell you.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha

(Bridge 1)
I,
need to sleep to be prepared,
For my tut.
But there's no time to sleep
If I want to prepare!
Waet??

(Chorus)
Nyaaagh!
1st year Engineer...
Do I hallucinate,
Am I, really here?

(Verse 2)
Venture to the Neelsie to feast
Scout for a table, to no avail.
Four seats at each,
But only one occupied! *A*

5 Engineers walk into a sushi bar
4 of them guys, that's just how we are.
84 000 fish devoured that day
Covered in 2 pounds of wasabi!

(Bridge 2)
Why, does anyone use,
The system of imperial?
The 5th dimension's in,
tomorrow's tutorial!

(Chorus)
Nyaagh!
1st year Engineer...
Do I hallucinate,
Am I, really here?

*solo*

(Chorus)

Nyaaagh!
1st year Engineer...
Do I hallucinate,
Am I, really here?

*was that erg enough?*
*well, that was interesting*
