Argh Matey!

I'm actually not really sure where the entire month of October went...it started with a birthday, and ends with Halloween...but as for in between those dates...well, they went along at warp speed! Fall Break in Colorado made the first half of the month forgettable because I was just waiting to get out there, and then school work and midterms exploded for the latter half making that just disappear into horribleness. Wow. Crazy.

This week is slightly blowtastic. Astro exam tomorrow, abstract for women's studies due tomorrow, two STUPID thematic reactions for spanish due Friday, I need to watch an hour and a half long terrible video on Panama or some other country in Central America and finish that video guide by Friday, spanish exam on Monday meaning the workbook is due Monday, Hayride on Thursday with APO (that one should be fun!), a bunch of meetings, kind of a large amount of class (including an extra hour of Women's Studies to watch some movie about something...ugh), but at least I finally figured out the Halloween costume...this might be my lamest Halloween yet.

I'm going to be a pirate. I feel like I can't wear the majority of the Maj's greatest creations because:

A) Most of them have a tail of some sort or a very large part to them (making it rather difficult to move in a room full of people)...

B) I don't want some IDIOT to spill on them.

C) I feel like people always have some horrible irresistible urge to touch them...because they're fuzzy or puffy or something equally exciting...I'm not sure...I just get irritated being bopped in the nose and such. Ayyyy.

I do hope I get more excited for Halloween as the date looms even closer because I'm not sure what the deal is. Perhaps I simply just have too much to do this week. Oh well! Time for Comm with KWAK. Yaaaay...

Micromini Meetings...the way they all should be

There is currently an "Asian Girls For Dating" ad on SpanishDict.com. "6000+ Chinese Girls Seek For Love." That's right folks! Get em' while they're hot...hahaha WHAT. Why in the world is THAT ad on the Spanish dictionary website...slash why does that ad even exist in the first place?!

Hokay. Moving on. On the way home from school today...at the corner of Jefferson and Division...I heard a very noisy man hawk up some sort of something, and then soon after realized that it was the man who was hanging out of a third story window just dropping huge spit bombs on the ground. Gross.

Just got back from the micromini meeting of the Night Ride Committee. Micromini meaning that there are only four people in it...and it lasts approximately six minutes each time. Beautiful. Clearly I can pick a winner...

A Tale of a Friendly Pedestrian

What I should be doing right now is writing one of my stupid 350 word thematic reactions for spanish...because my goal is to finish another one before Comm...but I mean, I can't neglect the bloggage. :)

Anyways. I just had a rather lovely encounter with a fellow pedestrian while crossing Division. Since we have that construction site thing going on (I don't know if you've heard about it...), there are plenty of large dump trucks and other various construction-y equipment vehicles. Today there happened to be one of those huge-mongous double trucks (ugh, what are those called...the ones they fill with dirt, or large chunks of concrete, or really anything someone might want in an extremely large quantity) complete with the WIDE LOAD sign strapped to its front bumper, attempting to start moving down the street (and as you all know, it takes a bit for these things to start moving...they lurch forward a few times and finally churn to life)...so this sir across the street and I are kind of paused watching it deciding whether or not we have an adequate amount of time to cross the street safely...and we're kind of going and stopping because we're really not sure...and then he just starts jogging across the street so I decide it's fine and start laughing and moving my rear across the street. The amazing thing was, that as we crossed the street I wasn't the only one laughing. Someone else, at the University of Michigan, thought something was funny and thought that it was actually okay to laugh about it, with *GASP* a complete stranger! Hahaha made my day. Or at least the a.m. portion of it!

Another funny thing I saw the other day was some rando girl on her bicycle. Okay, yes, plenty of people ride their bikes around campus, but they typically stick to the concrete areas. Now keep in mind this was an awkward time of day and there weren't throngs of people everywhere, but this girl decides that she just needs to ride all over the grass in front of Angell Hall...? I'm not sure. Maybe it's because I grew up being yelled at if a tire went near the grass...but typically I don't think that's the most normal of transit routes. Besides, it's way harder to ride a bike on the grass than on a solid surface, like say...mmm...the SIDEWALK?! Ay yi yi...

Okay. Thematic reaction me captain. Adios.

U of M > MSU

Just so you are all aware, the most feminine-looking janitor works in CC Little. He's petite, and proportioned...well, like a woman (minus the whole having a chest thing), he has really long blonde hair that he wears in a giant poofy ponytail every day, and well, I always do a double take when I encounter him roaming the halls or waiting for the elevator. Hmmm that might make me a horrible person.

I became a stalker the other day and successfully followed some random girl all the way from the Division and Jefferson intersection to the Alumni Center...which is quite a ways. This was not on purpose...I'm not creepy. But Welcome Wednesdays require me to stop by there for my free Barry Bagel and Sweetwaters coffee and it's kind of a popular place...the only problem was that we literally had the same walking speed and I was having some serious issues adjusting my pace. When I slow down, I get all antsy and feel like I'm making zero progress, but if I were to speed up I probably would have had to jog to pass her which is just super awkward. So, yes. I may have successfully induced neck soreness by causing mass amounts of anxiety and causing her to look back at me every three steps. I am legitimately sorry, heck, I know how that feels! I might be one of the most paranoid people around! Hahaha

I started this post in the middle of last week...and haven't been thinking in my blog state of mind...so I have very little to contribute even though a rather significant chunk of time has passed.

Also, Michigan will always be better than State. Just throwin' that little factoid out there...
