College Life 2nd Time Around

I have decided that what you wear to class is kinda like what people wear at the beach...anything they want to wear no matter if it looks good or not. Fashion these days is out of control. I've seen full body striped and patterned spandex outfits on FULL bodied girls that make me want to run and hide because i think the clowns ran away from the circus or someone's couch came alive...clowns and real live furniture scare me! One thing i haven't noticed is sagging pants. I have seen a lot of tattoos, some interesting and some that are on the bizarre side. The other day while waiting for the bus, I saw a guy with a tat right above his elbow near his tricep that said, "go big or go home." He had no other visible tats, which made this one totally stand out. As I was getting over this random sight, a girl walks up with mickey and minnie tattooed on her calves. Mickey on one and Minnie on the other...that's it...no Daffy or Pluto. What is this world coming to when people can't even get decent tattoos?!? 

Ok, changing the subject. I have an 8 am basic Chem class on Monday,Wednesday, and Friday. When I say basic, I mean basic, I taught this stuff in 8th grade science. I get there early, I listen, and I get distracted by the little fishy that don't realize that college isn't like high school. The class is scheduled for an hour, but we are only in there for 45 minutes, which is AWESOME!! I can come home and take a nap before my next class!! I LOVE naps!! This fishy arrive 15-30 minutes late every class!! Must be nice. Today, I was distracted by something else...a guy who was drawing on his hand with his pencil. REALLY?!?! Dude, that's not gonna leave anything there except maybe lead poisoning and a giant red mark. Maybe you should use the pencil to take notes in that notebook you have closed on your miniature desk. In case you missed it, our professor isn't Delores Umbridge and she hasn't put a spell on the pencil to cut into your skin when taking notes. Oh wait, you are just using the pencil to cut into your skin...I kinda wish it was Delores Umbridge. In addition, to this guy trying to write on his hand, he is playing on instagram. WHAT is so important on there that you can't pay attention to our little grey headed prof talking about the periodic table?!?!? You may be blessed with an ability to learn by osmosis, but take it from another so called osmosis learner...it's gonna come back and bite you in your rear end. What I learned today in class is the only dating I'm gonna be doing for awhile is Carbon dating!! 

The only other class I have on Monday and Wednesday is Biology. It's a rather large class, where the professor requires participation from everyone. That was so 1999, who participates these days. We had to buy or rent a $40 clicker to respond to questions in class. This guy in front of me only brought his clicker, iphone, and ego to class. He's one of THOSE students. Toward the end of class, I was so uncomfortable in my seat made for a baby, I leaned forward to take some notes on my little bitty lap tray. When I leaned up, Mr. I'm-so-cool-I-just-need-my-clicker-and-phone-and-ego had taken a snap chat pic of ME!!! Instead of paying attention, this guy took a pic of ME who was sitting behind him...I couldn't see what he had typed on the screen...what good is LASIK surgery if you can't see what someone is writing about you on snapchat...I'm pretty sure he wrote something like..."look..real life Houston Cougar!!" The teacher in me almost said something right there in class, but I decided that karma will get him. He had a ring on his left ring finger, I feel sorry for his wife. 

Well that's a little of what I've experienced so far at the University of Houston. I hope the two of you have enjoyed reading it. 

Dueces,
