BATHING IN MY OWN FILTH

... literally! We have this horrible clog in our bathtub and it's causing a leak through the pipes, thus deteriorating the ceiling in the level right underneath ours. Taking a bath today was the worst! Zairel told me about it, but I didn't really believe her until I actually went through it myself. First of all, the longer I took a shower, the dirtier I got. Since the tub is clogged, all the water accumulates and though the upperhalf of my body got cleaner, my lower half waded around in dirt water. Secondly, I kept praying that the floor wouldn't collapse from under me. The last thing I want happening is for the tub to fall through, with me trapped amidst the rumble, naked with a broken leg, or worse yet, a broken neck! Damn "Johnsons"!

MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!

I CANNOT believe how rude some people are! Unless a specimen of the male species shows me otherwise, I am led to believe that chivalry is dead. This poor old man got on the bus today, and I am shocked and appalled to say that NOBODY gave up their seat for that senior citizen!!!! Even pyscho lice-picking monkey couple didn't give up their seats! (For real, this couple was so sick! The guy was picking stuff out of the girl's hair! Said Gabs, "I find nothing endearing about that!") I ended up giving my seat to the man, which was a pretty crappy seat for him to get to, since it was a window seat towards the middle of the bus. But he was so thankful. Meanwhile, I was still pissed at those un-polite people! Three big burly guys watched me give up my seat then watched me stand the whole way to campus without even batting an eyelash!

But sometimes, all it takes is for a simple "Hi!" or a smile to totally change my day. Walking over to Rhetoric 20 was the best. Ran into a bunch of people that I hadn't seen in a really long time. One of my friends just finished taking his LSAT. I pretty much scared Gabs about even the thought of it. Heck, it scares me, too! Pretty soon, I'm gonna be out on my own, trying to make it by myself. *shudders* Anyway... before I go on another tangent, good friends are THE best gift of all.

Big day for OP stuff... I had SUCH a good meeting w/ Roshen today! She's such an interesting person. We exchanged stories over ice cream. Hooray for Ben and Jerry's! I also had a meeting with my Pac 10/UC President's Conference staff over dinner. (Yum, chicken pesto pizza!) They're so sweet... I LOVE the staffers!

Rhetoric 20 was interesting today. Gabs started talking about smurfs (I swear she has an obsession with them) and then commented that Jake looks like a smurf, and that we should name our smurfs Jake... quite random... random all around. Oh yeah... I'm officially declared as a Poli Sci major now! Woohoo!
