And I was like, shit, I don't know what to do. I didn't want to just keep driving (thankfully I was still in my apartment complex, so I didn't stop traffic or anything terribly inconvenient) because what if he fell off! And got crushed under my wheels! He's too cute for such a cruel fate! And while I sat there trying to figure it out, he crawled under the hood.
So yeah. Ralph came to school with me. Haven't seen him since, but he was not dead when I left him, so that is hopeful!
November is going to be intense. I'm in the midst of midterms this week, and like, everything is due and my head hurts because the weather is being stupid. Also, Nanowrimo.
But today in particular was interesting. I was hanging out in my first class, and when I went to go check my student email I discovered that some asshole had flooded the VERY BUILDING I WAS IN Saturday night, and that the other end of the building was still actually flooded. Apparently some dipshit thought it would be hilarious to turn on the chemical shower on the third floor and leave it on, expending a total of 6,400 gallons of water that spread from the third floor all the way down the BASEMENT (where my second class is supposed to be held). The damage is rather extensive, but in addition to the money this asshat is responsible for the relocation of tons of classes (a lot of them science, and several of them rather large), the destruction of a lot of science faculty's property and RESEARCH, and money-costing delays on others' research. All in all it was a super shitty thing to do and not, in fact, hilarious at all.
So yeah. Two of my classes have to be relocated, and quite a few of my roommate's have to be changed as well (which really sucks for her since she has a heavy load filled with science, and the hall that flooded is the damn SCIENCE BUILDING). And I guess the AV room got damaged, too, so the computer tech people are furious, and thanks to the construction that has to happen, there have been some serious delays in the scheduling for next semester which in turn screws up people trying to register next week.
The only positive I saw in this situation is that I discovered the secret awesome classrooms in the basement of another building (where my class got relocated) and holy shit are those rooms snazzy as hell. I kind of hope this is a permanent move, not gonna lie. There are giant TVs on like, two or three of the walls, and I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THEY MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A SPY SO WHATEVER MAN. Classy shit.
And that's all I got for ya. I apologize if this post isn't terribly eloquent, but my head is killing me and I just wrote ten pages for my class tomorrow so I no longer care.
Here, have a song:
And by song I mean exciting as hell trailer for BioShock Infinite. I'm pretty excited for February. I should have Borderlands 2 playthrough 2 done by then, along with Dishonored. Woo! Song in the trailer is "Beast" by Nico Vega. Enjoy!
Dude those people in the trailer look ridiculous when they are flailing, falling through the sky. Do people really look like that - like terrible ragdolls?
ReplyDeleteAnd Ralph looks like some crazy thrill-seeking mothah fuckaaaah. I'd like to shake his paw.
Also that whole flooding thing sounds like an awful strategy. They know who did it, right? And are pressing mad charges against him/her because of all of the expenses? I mean I'd be pissed beyond belief if my research project was suddenly hanging out with Ariel and Sebastian in the depths of some building's basement.
You should totally take pictures of the sweet rooms. They sound super cool.
The rooms probably aren't as cool as all that, but after three years in the subpar, old rooms they seem that way to me. Also the fact that I had no idea they existed added some awesome to them.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, they do not know who flooded the building! There's a 2,000 dollar reward out for them, though. So we just have to hope the temptation is enough to make someone spill.
And Ralph's a BAMF, no doubt about it. Probably left my little two-door hatchback for a Harley or something.
I want to become a famous College Campus Bounty Hunter, just going around collecting all the bounties on shitty people who make bad decisions and ruin campus property. I would dress up like an old-school cowboy and they'd be like HALLOWEEN WAS LAST WEEK DIPSHIT and I would interrogate them using my Batman voice and turn them in hanging upside down a la Spiderman and I'd be rollin in the dough oh yes indeed.
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO PLAY BLANDS but by god do I need to focus on Nano rn. GODSPEED.
I wonder how sustainable of a lifestyle that would be. Like I've never heard of a bounty being offered here. Or anywhere, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to do a lot of traveling between campuses, to say the least.
But it'd be supa badass.
