A summer spent sitting at home bored or working a job that eats away at your skull. Sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?

And more importantly, you've probably tried to keep your attention away from the Student Center stage where X band attempts to gain the attention of students eating their $6 salads or drinking their frappuccinos in that mermaid cup.
