Hammer time needs to stop immediately

My classes lately have been filled with the wonderful sounds of hammers hammering, drills drilling and teachers trying to teach.
It seems to me the statement of the college, "Learning comes first at JCCC" has been lost in the shuffle of construction.
Is it necessary to renovate and rebuild all these classrooms during peak instruction hours. How much more would it cost to allow these construction companies to work on nights and weekends?
But no, we can't do that. So I am left with hyperextending my ear drums to hear what my professor is saying.
Perhaps I can find temporary solace inside the walls of the Regnier Center, where nary a construction worker, drill nor hammer is found. Perhaps I should persuade my professor to have our classes inside the Shull Foyer, that way we would only have to drown out the sounds of Cafe Tempo and Nerman patrons.
One thing is clear to me, learning apparantly does not come first at this college.

Here Say: Volume One, Edition One

We at the Campus Ledger are always on the lookout for that juicy quote, that awesome one liner that makes the story. It is with that attitude that we present Here Say, a random conglomeration of overheard quotes and phrases around campus. Here is the first edition:

Girl to table of girls: I have to get injections...

Guy: Why do you need three octaves in the flat? This is just insane. How
the hell are you gonna play that on a piano?

Guy to girl: How are you going to eat that hot dog?

Not all flannel is plaid, but all plaid is flannel.

I know in the movie the grandfather is reading the book.

Have you seen juice?

You look like somebody who's here for GIG.

Guy to mixed company: How I masturbate...

I don't want to see your man thighs.
