"Stay in Town"

Many students, after a trip like this, have stories about the Professors or people held in high esteem with which they had contact. For instance, I have my nudging President Holst with a pillow because he was snoring story. When talking about this trip many students pride themselves on the “Dr. Schuler Eye-Roll Story.” For those who may not understand what I mean when I say the “Dr. Schuler Eye-Roll” I mean exactly that. On many occasions students will do things simply in order to get the eye roll or half laugh from Dr. Schuler. Andrea’s crowning achievement came on the first day of the cistern experience when she turned on her dinosaur headlamp.
Now that I have thoroughly explained the “Dr. Schuler Eye-Roll” it is time for me to elaborate upon my eye-roll experience. Mine came on the first week of the dig. As we (Jessica, Rhoda, Amanda and I) were digging in F4 and started talking about CSI: for some reason. I think it started with Jessica talking about forensic science or something like that, but then turned into a conversation about CSI: and all of it’s offshoots; CSI: Miami and CSI: NY. From there we started talking about the characters there-in, focusing on Horatio from CSI:Miami. I was discussing the fact that it seems like he has some of the most cliché lines ever written for a cop show and at one point I removed my glasses, dramatically, and spouted, “Stay in town,” merely as an example. Rhoda was on the floor. Well, not literally since we were ankle deep in a hole, but had we been somewhere with a floor, I’m sure that’s where she would have been. I think I repeated this four times that day; another time for Rhoda, once for Andrea and finally for Dr. Schuler (all at Rhoda Schuler’s request of course).
This, I’m proud to say, was my crowning achievement in receiving the Dr. Schuler eye roll, and I have since found out that it showed many on the dig that I wasn’t as shy as I made myself out to be at some points.
