TGIF!

I don’t like surprises for the simple reason that their effect on me is more like that of a shock! But today I was pleasantly surprised when we didn’t end up having the guest lecture we were supposed to have. I had worked hard the entire day and ordered myself that I wouldn’t study for even a second (the fact that we cannot study for a second is another issue!) after I got home after my class. I mean, come on, TGIF remember? So now I am home, relaxed, free…kinda satisfied that I studied enough to get me through the day! But now that I am home, relaxed, free…I find myself staring at my homework assignment from the corner of my eye. Wouldn’t it be nice if I get it over and done with (or at least get started with it) today so that I have more time to be home, relax and be free over the weekend? The magnetism is hard to prevail over. Stealing glances at the fat book is just gonna make me edgy and gimme a nervous twitch! We all know how this is gonna end so just lemme close this topic!
A very strange thing happened to me while I was getting my evening shot of java today. This couple (an American guy and an Asian girl) kept stealing looks at me when I was waiting for my order at Starbucks. I knew I wasn’t dressed funny, no undergarments were peeking outta my clothes, there was nothing stuck in my teeth, my hair were in place…I was quite interested to know just what they were finding worth a stare. I know they weren’t ogling…that’s for sure! Anyhoo…
I read THE most hilarious comments scratched into the library desk I was studying at today. I wanted to write them all down (I see art in everything!) but I don’t know why I didn’t. There was one which went “I love studying…it makes me horny!”. And then there was “good teachers are the ones who turn students into zombies!”…this particular one followed a few lines of Pink Floyd’s “Brick in the Wall.” Very interesting. So I have decided to sit down at a new desk everyday and see what else people have to say! I find it very refreshing!
And I’ll mention one last thing before I end this post. It’s interesting to see how certain events make you bond with people (although momentarily). There was this noisy guy who came and sat at a desk opposite to me today. He was coughing, eating noisily, turning pages like they were made of indestructible material, slurping on his drink and basically doing anything and everything that one is not supposed to do in a library. And every time he would do something audibly…this other guy sitting opposite to me and I would make eye contact and smile at the jerk’s stupidity! And when the jerk left…this guy and I started to laugh and thank our stars that he left when he did. I just found this very heartwarming!
Okay, that’s all folks!
