Notes From the SUNY Campus at Brockport

"I've never thought about it...so it can't be that important"

Two things that I noticed on campus today:

1 - You can tell you are getting towards the middle of the semester when all the prissy girls who looked like they get up at 5 am just to spend 3 hours primping in the morning to catch the eye for all the cute boys in class are too stressed out to care anymore and stop wearing makeup and "cute" outfits and start showing up for 1 o'clock class hair a mess in pajama pants and baggy sweatshirts. It really comes at you all of a sudden too. Sort of like the looks of an Asian woman. She always looks beautiful and young (quite often well into their 50's even), and then one morning she wakes up and suddenly look like they aged 40 years over night and now look 80.

2 - I was glancing around the room during geometry today and noticed that someone had taken twist off caps from pop bottles and put them on the feet of every chair. While this is a brilliant idea (cheap and effective way to stop that horrid metal feet scraping on tile floor sound), I had to wonder, who actually took the time to do this? There are easily 35-40 chairs in the room, meaning they'd need to have around 150 bottle tops, not to mention the time it would take to accomplish it all. It does almost sound like something I would do while bored, so I salute the individual. However, at the same time it did bother me, seeing as how there was a mixture of blue and white caps, placed in no discernible pattern throughout the room. And the obsessive compulsive in me was having none of that.

Comments

1 - This is why I am convinced that one day I really could wake up as a sumo wrestler.
2 - Were any of the twist offs from Coke products? If so, you should take them all and enter them online - you'd get 450 pts, which would be enough to get you a free Coke t-shirt... wow, 150 20oz. cokes only gets you a damn t-shirt. I'm going to stop playing now.
