Ess-are-ay-aitch goes to ess-eye
Went on my visit to SI. I think I am the only person on Earth who prounounces it "sigh" instead of "ess-eye". I am some kind of mutant. Among the various other things I learned/reheard, I found out that the School of Information has their own career services person. I was told that she can "videotape a mock interview" and heard instead that she can "videotape and mock interviews", and I think my eyes bugged out in fear. After my visit, I came back to work and my mom pointed out that my sweater was mis-buttoned. Way to make an impression.
I never walk around the campus during the day, but then I try to avoid walking around the campus at all. It's weird to see all the activity and millions and millions of people studying and working there, even during the summer. What have I gotten myself into? What is this huge, monstrous machine? I am frightened.

I always pronounced umich as "oo-mich" instead of "you-mich" because of Umesh. But after 5 years, I'me better. Also, I love walking around campus anytime, or sitting on The Grassy Knoll (between Dennison and East Hall).
Really, those hordes of people you saw today were orientees-- in-coming freshman. There's really hardly anyone here. I swear.
I can see it all from my window.
Also, if you were at SI today, you were less than... (calculates)... 100 feet from where I'm sitting now. And up one floor. But still.
That kind of freaks me out. Of course, it probably freaks you out more, because you didn't know that, but at the same time, *I* can't be accused of stalking, because I always sit here. Every work day. From 8 to 5.
