Back In The Saddle Again

Hmmm... It would appear that blogging is a strictly college-related activity, at least for me. 'Cause I didn't post all summer, and here were are, 2nd day of classes, with a new post! Very little has changed, actually. Looking back at my "What I've learned from College" post, I'm seeing some horrible similarities. Most pressing is the whole "walk into Manitou = developing sudden need to hit the restroom" thing. I'm also on track to beat last years towering list of embarassing moments. Envision this scenario:
I'm heading for the bus stop. Bus is there, but isn't moving. Therefore, I don't speed up much. I start to get nervous, and quicken my pace. Bus begins to inch forward. I run. Bus continues to move, I continue to run. Bus never stops, even as I run along side it for a second. This all in front of a mildly interested multitude of about 30 or 40 peeps.
In other news, the Padnos steps continue to be a menace, even without slush. Last year I believe the score was Steps - 3, Me- 60. A new year means a new score, and it is currently Steps- 1, Me -0. This time I was walking up the steps and I attempted a left dodge to avoid a stream of pedestrians heading down. As my eyes met the beautiful blue optics of a male of the aforementioned stream, I realized that they weren't leaving enough room for me on the left so a sharp, emergency duck right was in order, while at the same time my left foot hit smooth tile and almost (not quite) slipped out from under me. I stumbed, and a full collision with the blue eyed guy was avoided, but it was a near thing. If either of us had on one more layer... Then dialouge ensued:
Simultaneous: "Sorry!"
Him: "Are you alright?"
Me: (No bodily harm, but the pride is heading to the nearest E.R.) "Yep, I'm fine."
Oh, and it looks like this years classes are all hard and boring. Really. There isn't one class I'm pumped for. And I'm still going for Accounting. Hm. Not good. But then again, I haven't really gotten into any of them yet, maybe they'll improve. At least it doesn't sound like I'll have a whole bunch of papers this year.
So WhoooHooooo! New Post! The Blog Lives!!!!
