SLATER HALL—Todd Buchanan, a UI sophomore, says that it became painfully clear that he can no longer put off this semester’s schoolwork when not a single guy on his floor, the seventh floor of Slater Hall, would play Call of Duty with him Sunday night.
“It’s still basically syllabus week,” Buchanan said. “But they kept saying they had to study for their gen chem exam.”
It was a sobering moment for the Des Moines native. “I decided it was time to face reality. I’m gonna do all my homework unless I’m tired, and only go to class hungover on Fridays.”
Buchanan’s new lease on life will take effect “literally the second” he is finished watching all 5 seasons of How I Met Your Mother on DVD.
“Did you know that Neil Patrick Harris is gay in real life?” Buchanan said as the show’s theme song played in the background. “That’s why his character is so funny!”
