Tuesday//a.k.a 2sday

Mother, what are you always right? I ate too much candy, and in fact did get a stomach ache, just like you always warned me about. 
In other news, we have a few small snow showers in the forecast here, so that means maybe possibly a snow day tomorrow, ya dig??? (I do!)--even though I only have one class tomorrow, but still it's at 9:30, and I'll take any opportunity to sleep in that I can. 
Ok so, hypothetical situation, you go to the movies with a group of friends and you walk in and the first few of you sit down in seats that are in the top row, and the last few of you who walk in decide that they don't want to sit up there, so they sit a couple rows down. So who moves? I mean, I suppose you could meet in the middle, but there are stubborn people we're talking about. Eventually some of the people from the top row move down, leaving 2 s
till up there, and I suppose we, I mean they, could have joined them, but why should we, I mean they, have to move? ANYWHO after the movie, most of the people from the lower group rush out and like freakin run down to the bus stop. The rest of us walk down, only to recieve a phonecall from one of the others saying "uh, if you guys would have hurried up, you could have been on the bus with us right now" OH GEE THANKS for telling us there was a bus coming right then, did it ever occur to you that maybe had we known when the bus was coming we would have picked up the pace?? That was so polite and courteous and considerate of you to let us know, thank you. Man that's just INDECENT. It's ok, we froze our ass off for another 20 minutes until the next bus came. Whatever, karma's a bitch, so I'd watch out for it if I were them. You know, hypothetically speaking of course. 

Also these babies are on ebay, in my size, now if 
only I had an extra $329 laying around. 
One day I shall have an extensive collection 
of designer shoes, and they are going to be ridiculous, but in the best way, and totally inappropriate for everyday wear, and I will of course be wearing them every day. One day.

Tuesday

There's about 7-8 inches of snow on the ground here and I AM LIKING THAT. Campus feels very odd though, after being gone for nearly a month and a half (that's a damn long break!) and coming back to see everything covered in white. When there's a lot of snow, at night it's so much less dark outside. 
In other news it appears a pipe in our cieling exploded over the break because I came back to find the jack-o-lantern on my windowsill full of water. There's also lots of gross drippings down my window and curtains and the ceiling looks funky too. And did I mention there's a HOLE in the CEILING in the hallway outside my room. Also there is something resembling mold (that's right I said MOLD, EW) appearing on our ceiling conveniently directly above my bed. Last night I kept having dreams of the ceiling falling down on me. 
LET ME JUST SAY that if I am awakened by the ceiling falling on me, I will not be a happy camper. 
So yesterday I was on my long journey back to school and I had a 2 hour layover in Atlanta. I went to the terminal where my next flight would be leaving from, this was called Terminal D and let me tell you it was crowded and crazy and only had lame places to eat, like Burger King. (King of Burgers? I think not. Might I recommend 5 Guys, now there's a burger, but I digress). So I'm like fuck that I'm gonna go explore this airport. So then I decided to go to the next closest terminal, because lets face it, I'm lazy and I'm not about to venture to the other side of the airport and then have to come back. So the next one over is called Terminal E and let me tell you, I THOUGHT I HAD DIED AND GONE TO AIRPORT HEAVEN. Yeah, it was that nice. It was big, there were exhibits about puppets from around the world and Martin Luther King Jr. (how fitting since yesterday was MLK day, got MLK?) and marble floors, and no annoying crowds. Ladies and Gentlemen, I had found myself in the International, and I am quite lucky I stumbled upon this gem, because it just keeps getting better. So after I examine these exhibits, I continue walking and find the food court to top all food courts, THERE WAS A GRAND PIANO WHICH WAS LITERALLY PLAYING ITSELF. There were some of the classier fast food places like Arby's. I indulged in a giant burrito from QDoba. As I sat there spilling beans and chicken all over my lap I observed some more of my surroundings. In the middle of the food court, right next to the self-playing piano was a very classy looking bar. And then there was this restaruant with self-proclaimed fine dining and sushi bar. As I walked by it later, I discoved a very fancy looking place with walls that had pictures of trees, like a forest. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end and I had to go back to terminal D in order to catch my flight. I truly appreciated that glimpse of airport heaven though. The moral of the story, whenever you are stuck in an airport, go check out the International Terminal. 
Well this post is getting ridiculously long considering how little the amount of actual substantial information (which is close to zero) so I will leave with this fun fact:
King Leopold II (of Belgium) had a 16 year old mistress, when he was 65. 
He must have been buying her some damn nice dresses.
