Vashj, haven't you and I done this "more time to get to class"- thing before? Something about getting to a lab, and you ending up as the only one who was allowed to be late and getting sabotaged by the other folks in that session. So you want a new angle huh? Okay...

In order to accommodate numerous student requests, your university has chosen to modify it's schedule such that now classes in the same department will be given at 1 of two times, with the second being not less than an hour after the conclusion of the previous class. For example, all classes in physics will be two hours long, and start at either 8:30 AM or 11:30 AM, while all classes in math (also 2hrs long) will start at either 1:00 PM or 4:00PM. Where's the corruption you ask? Well, in order to accommodate the higher number of classes that meet at the same time, all sections of one course will meet together (200 person lab sessions :o ), and additional staff are hired in order to teach the other classes (since professors are not able to teach multiple courses as they used to). Also bowing to student requests, tuition is not raised to hire additional faculty members, which means: the percentage of courses lead by TA's balloons to 85%. Everything below a 450 level course (where I went, the 400s were generally intended for begin 2nd semester junior year, with 450 or higher intended for senior year) is handled by a TA, and not just graduate students, but undergraduates are hired as TAs, so some of those 205 intro chem classes are being taught by sophomores who just had the class last year. Hope things work out for you now that you can take your time getting from one class to the other...

I wish I could find an outlet for my creative energies.

*ERK* Doesn't count. I hereby sentence you to keep the ice cream machine in the cafeteria filled. You're not allowed to eat any of the ice cream even if you actually get the chance.

Granted, young master. My series of Evil Warlord Tips have inspired you to become a supernatural crime lord. But you've hardly seen all my tips. So not only do I know all your secrets, having taught them to you, I have all kinds of tricks you don't know about. After I and my loyal companions defeat you in a spectacular battle, I will be recognized as the heir to the ancient Sorceress-Queens of Balmia, regain my throne, and lead my country into a thousand-generation Golden Age. In about a hundred years, thanks to my wise leadership and magically long life, Balmia will surpass the United States as the most powerful and advanced nation in the world. Don't worry, though; your name will live on forever too. File under "Waterloo".

I refuse to wish that the above were true, thus exposing it to corruption. Instead, I wish my suitemate would do more of her beauty routine in her own room. (Just so you know which is the real wish.)

Granted. Once she's done, she insists on walking into your room and having you check over every whatever she does in her routine several times. you are expected to give compliments, and pretend you enjoy the process, no matter how pissed you get over time.

Edit: I wish I had telekinetic powers.

She can't walk into my room unless I invite her. That's what the deadbolt is for. The room her beauty routine has been taking over is the bathroom.

Granted. But the telekinetic power is almost impossible to consciously control, when it's even working, and when it is working, even if it's not working the way you want it, it gives you an ungodly headache. Fear kelar. Fear it. Fear!

I wish my wall calendar was more visually appealing.

Oh, I know perfectly well how that works. Trust me, she will find a way to make you do what is described in the corupted wish.


Granted. You did not say who it was appealing to, so it is filled with pictures of Porn.

(that was really easy, by the way)

I wish there wasn't so much crap described whenever dating comes up. pickup lines, mind games, body language, I haven't even tried and am already scared off.

Granted. However, it's no longer an issue to you, because you have already decided to become a monk and renounce women and society. I don't expect we'll see you again; the abbey doesn't have Internet access.

I wish I hadn't signed up for a 9:00 class.

(9:00 is too early? I have an 8 o'clock and three 9's and do fine. I just go to sleep early.)


Granted. Because you now sleep through the middle of the day, you are not considered to have insomnia anymore.


I wish lab classes weren't so dang stressful. (lab is the 8:00 class.)

Granted. Now labs consist of you and many people like you sitting around listening to your professor explain what would happen if you did this. You gain theoretical but not practical knowledge. They might as well not even call it a lab, since it really isn't, but you're still required to wear lab coats and eye protection.

I wish we were provided safety gloves in lab. It's immensely disconcerting to be informed that we get to handle everything from hot crucibles to flasks of nitric acid totally barehanded.

Granted. You are now expected to have gloves on not only for handling dangerous things, but also for non dangerous chemicals such as water, empty beakers, and you must replace thes gloves on the minute, every 5 minutes.


I wish I had thick enough skin that I didn't need gloves.

Well, we already needed lab coats and goggles to handle water...

Granted. But as a result, you are astonishingly inflexible. You are so inflexible you can't grip a steering wheel, put a shirt on, or pick up a fork. All the skin-conditioning goo and surgery in the world only makes you astonishingly sore as well.

I wish choir practices weren't on Tuesdays.

Granted. You have now effectively deprived me of my ultimate skill. I really don't like you right now. And I still have other mighty skills with which to bust a cap in yo' @$$. Go ahead. Beg for mercy. I think it's kind of funny the way you weep and plead for your life. It won't change my mind, but it will entertain me for a few minutes.

granted. They do this by filming the exact same scenes, in the exact same order, in the exact same places with the same crew as the first movie. you waste your money seeing the first movie again.

I wish I could control lightning strikes.

Granted. However, one day it becomes too tempting, and you use your power in anger to slay someone you don't like. That's when you find out that God has more control over lightning than you do. He returns the favor.
