I agree. Definitely not the best pizza but its good for satisfying late night hunger cravings.

They don't use a lot of dough... I think the pizza is thinner than a thin crust pizza.

But just thinking about the pizza makes my mouth water... I could go for some right now XD

Ahh now it all makes sense.

Maybe because its still early thinking about Gino's pizza is making think of cardboard. I remember the first time I ate some I thought the crust tasted like cardboard.

Its amazing how your perception of things change when necessary.

Anyone aside from me think Ginos pizza smells exactly the same as boiled corn?

Makes you wonder...

I found it really surprising just how "natural" it was for people to skip class. . I remember watching TV in the common room one day with a floormate: during a commercial, he looked at the time, shrugged, and said "I think I'll skip my 1:30 class". I'm not going to lie, I skipped a class or two in high school, but going into first year people seemed to do it so much more naturally. Even if they were studying for an evening test, I knew of so many that students would skip their lectures/tutorials that day. I might have been paranoid, but I felt like if I skipped a class in first year, that the prof would probably mention something big that would show up on a midterm or the exam and I would miss it.

...and sorry for derailing the current topic by replying to the original post

What surprised me most for first year was going into a library bright and early and then looking up to realize that its 2 am and there was still much work to be done...it's funny how days seem to just mesh together when you spend most of your time in the library and distinguishing one day from another becomes extremely hard....

I know what you mean. I always felt really, really guilty whenever I skipped class. It was usually when I was really sick, but I still felt horrible. Also when I was like emotional, lol don't ask, and my boyfriend convinced me to stay.

Wait lol! I always thought the 6th floor hanky panky was a myth :S
Greg lol do you have Spidey sense to go with your other mental feats? (Spidey sense is a probably human capability, something to do with advanced 6th sense, a normal human being only uses 5-6% of the brain innit?) I've never actually noticed or heard anything EVER even though I do spend alot of time in and around mills and musc.
p.s: The Squirrels and Racoons are no longer afraid of humans. I remember this one that wouldn't flinch even when I shadow kicked/threw tiny rocks at it(Lol the campus was empty so I was feeling paranoid with that thing inching towards me/my bag)

Heh, well I don't have spidey sense, but one of my friends has done it on the top floor of mills. Twice. With three different girls.
