A Couple of Open Letters to Assorted Individuals

Dear Girl Who Sat Next to Me in My Test Today,

When you dropped your Scantron Sheet, and it landed at my feet, there was a reason I didn't pick it up. It was not because I didn't notice until it was too late. It was not because I felt I didn't have enough time to finish the test and therefore couldn't spare the minute it would have taken to lean over and pick it up. It wasn't even because I'm a cold heartless bitch (although you probably now think that I am).

It's because you chose to read every last question on the test outloud to yourself. Including the multiple choice questions and all their possible options.

So don't be mad at me for not picking up your sheet, be happy that I didn't kill you.

Thanks!

Dear Person in My Intro to Social Psychology Class,

When the Proffessor said; "80% of marriages end in divorce or seperation"
and you said; "That's over half!"

I was so glad you were there, to blow the lid off that statistic.

I can only hope you use your Powers of the Obvious for good and never for evil.

The Day Part of My Brain Died in Shock

I was sitting quitely waiting for my Wednesday morning class to start. I was pretending to read my book, but really I was listening to these three girls have a conversation (the eavesdropping was so not all my fault cause they were really loud). Listening to their conversation I discovered that: Thesis Girl has to present her thesis (hence the name) to a big group of people soon, Waitress Girl is in her late 20s because she takes classes while she waitresses, and that Research girl has a presentation to do. I also discovered that all three of them have been living under some internet rock, probably the same rock Mike K has been living under except his has more bingo.

Here is the conversation that ensued:

Research Girl: I was researching this presentation and the librarian told me to put addition signs in when I search for things
Thesis Girl: Really? Does that help?
Research Girl: Yeah! Cause it means it looks up the one word plus the other word.
Waitress Girl: Wow! That's so neat! I'll use that
Research Girl: Yeah it really helps to narrow stuff down.

At this point my brain was melting. How have these people survived to third year university, how has Thesis Girl managed to prepare a thesis, without being able to Google properly??? Waitress Girl is a very intelligent girl, AND she's hip! Hip people!!! She should be all up on the Google Skillz.

I came home from class and proceded to tell people on my floor this story. I was then shocked to discover that THEY HAD NO IDEA EITHER!!!! I felt like I was in some sort of twighlight zone where it turns out everyone is illiterate but you.

Previously I had always thought that I was a decent Google lookerupper. Turns out I'm awesome, way abover average, I'm going to go as far as saying that my skillz are superb.

You've Come a Long way Baby

Happy Birthday Blog!!!

Today you are one year old.
Thank you for the hilarity you've allowed me to deliver.

Thank you for helping me keep up with my friends.
Thank you for your comment section, that reminds me of everyone out there.
Thank you "I Live in my Head and Sleep in my Bed" your awesome burns stronger than a thousand suns.

In other news; I've had a great week. Last night was amazing because I wrote a test (therefore no more studying) and afterwards went out for cheap martini night. Tonight was wonderful because I ended up going to a sketch comdey show put on by engineering, it was hilarious. Tomorrow will be an enlightening trip to the ROM! I am a dork.

Boggle

I totally downloaded 'Boggle' onto my phone. It has provided me with hours of entertainment, unfortuneatly this has sometimes occured in class. I haven't found 'helipads' yet, but I'm trying.

I really need to buy new shoes for the summer. My current non-winter shoes have no lining left in the heel, so it's just hard plastic, slowly grinding away my feet's will to live.

I also need to buy new jeans, because my favourite pair of jeans finnaly have up the other day. There is no a huge rip in them, in the buttocks region. Meaning that I have to choose; lose the jeans, or lose my dignity.

I have a test tomorrow so the big plan for today is studying. Child Development, why are you so boring sometimes?

Oh! I made myself brushetta on Friday! I'm getting kind of good at this whole 'cooking' thing.
