Well actually, it's a little bit of both. Slash school and that whole continuing my education thing have gotten in the way of allowing my brain to wander off and phrase things in a semi-comical way as I sit around and do nothing. The sitting around doing nothing thing doesn't often happen...therefore, the phrasing is lacking.
Anyways...the construction is still clanging, pounding, and banging loud and proud over there. I have even taken the time to record it and post it on people's Facebook walls, just so they can appreciate the musical jingle of hammers on metal beams, saws through who knows what kind of material, the wonderful vocals put on by men in hard hats yelling (a million David Hodos running about the area), and that joyous deafening clickety-clack of the crane. Golly I can't wait until Fall of 2010...the projected end date for this wonderful project, but considering we're dealing with the University, well, let's be honest, that probably will not happen. This better be one heck of a parking garage by the time they're done with it. Sigh...
Naturally I've been wearing my USA garb about campus for various reasons:
- We live here.
- I look pretty decent in the red and navy...the white tends to have Casper the Friendly Ghost effects upon my skin tone...
- Uhhh did you hear my sister went to the Olympics? Yeah...
- It's generally a good conversation topic or interesting tidbit if asked
- I have plenty of it!
- It's mainly in the t-shirt and comfy clothing realm...so I can wear it every freaking day if I really want to.
- I occasionally receive comments by random passers-by via bicycle...[okay, so this only happened once while I was on my way to class and some man rode by on his bike. But I gave a little greeting nod plus half smile and first received a very robust "USA!" followed up by what I think was a comment on how it's the greatest country in the world--then again I cannot be sure because we were traveling in opposite directions and were relatively far apart by this point...oh and I also had my iPod going...more than likely with Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA..." ohhh the irony...]
In other news...the Class of 1959 (such cute little old people) adorned the steps of Angell Hall today for a beautiful group photo op and were spotted all over campus today...I'm not sure what the dealio was, but hey, it's kind of fun to see that. Hard to imagine that I'll be that old someday, but hey, hopefully it'll happen! Hahaha.
Skyline volleyball home tournament tomorrow, bright and really early...here we go Eagles!
