Conservatory 

Where musicians attend college if they are unable to be accepted at a university. Rejection of musicians by universities is most often based on low test scores and grades, poor English skills and most commonly, general lack of intelligence. Prominent examples include the Juilliard School in New York City, the New England Conservatory in Boston, the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, and the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.
Shit dude, I got rejected from Rice and USC, and waitlisted at Northwestern... well, I guess I'll just go to a conservatory then (sighs).

New England Conservatory

A music school in Boston with a slight inferiority complex (think Juilliard, Curtis). The string players, pianists, and clarinetists are the freakin' best in the country. It's acronym is NEC, obviously. It's in a wicked old building on Huntington Ave in Boston and has Jordan Hall inside, which is repeatedly called one of the best concert halls in the US.
New England Conservatory is the shit. Go to hell, Juilliard.

The Conservatory

An apolitical non-sectarian sanctuary where Hymen is offensive, but Urine is hilarious. A quiet place of rest, respite, and refuge; a smoky, ceiling-fanned haven of joviality and jocularity far removed from the hectic pace and daily drudge of life. A He-Man Woman Haters Club where wrinkled old lawyers and other professionals can drink overpriced maple-flavored bourbon, smoke expensive cigars, watch hockey games, brag (or complain) about their new hips, trade stories and golf clubs, Buck Up, turn 50 cents into a dollar, and have their income redistributed (efg). Also colloquially known as “The C” or “Bogie’s Place.” Members may be referred to as “Men of The C.”
“I’m going to The Conservatory, don’t wait up.”
“I got pimped ten straight hands at The C. Who dealt this drek?”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
