I never keep my pants in my dresser and/or wardrobe at school. Instead, I keep them in an easy-access spot right next to said furniture, in a little basket that is not quite a basket, and therefore is not an object that I loathe with every fiber of my being.
I do this because my experience in college dorms has taught me one very important thing: at any point in the night, or at any point after all your classes have been attended and social shin-digs are over with, when you're sitting cozy in your dorm room with your PJs on (and, if you're like me, you wear shorts. or capris), those ordinary jeans sitting in that unassuming little basket could at any moment turn into Emergency Pants.
Emergency Pants are really only used for one thing: fire alarms, set off at ungodly hours or inconsiderately during one of your favorite TV shows. And last night set a new record for me: it was our first night back in the dorms, and that damn alarm went off at 1:30 in the morning. And since it was winter outside, I was very much pleased that I maintained my Emergency Pants philosophy, because holy crap on a cracker it was cold out there.
Hopefully the rest of you got off to a better-rested start for this exciting new semester. I've had one class thus far and I already love it. What interesting classes are you guys taking this semester? And if you're already done with school, do you have any current projects or other exciting things looming on the horizon?
My classes this semester:
Multimedia and Web Design
Advanced Seminar for publication design
Modern Lit
Spanish
American Lit
I've never actually seen the video for this, so it'll be an experience for all of us.
I laughed really hard at this. Emergency Pants. YOUR WRITING IS DELIGHTFUL AS ALWAYS.
ReplyDeleteAre you keeping an eye out for classes I could crash with you? Or are my visits going to consist of only eating your food?
So far it looks like just food. There's one you might enjoy, but it is PACKED, and they put us in a tiny "broom closet," as my teacher cheerfully called it today.
ReplyDeleteYou would have Emergency Pants.
ReplyDeleteGod, I love you.
Also, I think I've told you, but I'll do it again, I am REALLY excited for your Multimedia and Web Design class. REALLY EXCITED. TEACH ME ALL THE THINGS. We keep talking about coding and pdp text and such in my seminar class and half of it makes a little sense and the other half goes over my head, but it's interesting anyhow.
