The Nerd Hole

So right now I am sitting in the Nerd Hole, with Seth.

What, pray tell, is the Nerd Hole? It's the CAEDM lab in the Clyde Building on BYU Campus. What, pray tell, does CAEDM stand for? No one has any idea. I asked Seth and he said Computer and Engineering Department of Magic. . . . .

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that magic is nowhere in the title.

We're here because Seth has an assignment to do and he needs a program that the computers in here offer. And I wanted to be with him.
And I'm blogging about it simply because I wanted a post entitled "The Nerd Hole."

It is not known university wide as The Nerd Hole, only to Seth and his roommates. That is because this is an engineering lab. Need I say more?

. . . . all right fine.

There are multiple skinny white boys with glasses situated about the room. I see .....3 girls. Including me. There are absolutely no windows. They have a 24 hour clock on the wall so that you are able to tell if it's am or pm. (and Seth said the following with a look of glee on his face, "Janette, there's no curfew here. We can stay here all night. Just partying!" How fortuitous that I had just barely opened up a new post and was able to type it out) There are computers everywhere. You need a code to even get in this place. And only engineers can have the code.

What am I doing in here again? Oh right...Seth.

P.S. I figured it out. And by "I," I mean my friend Joseph. It stands for Computer Aided Engineering Design and Manufacturing

  1. Not sure why, but your post made me think of these Death Cab for Cutie lyrics:

    "Love of mine some day you will die
    But I'll be close behind
    I'll follow you into the dark"

    Classic geek move on Seth's part. Well played...
