Haha.

Guess what!

My mom found my blog. HI MOM!
I'll find a job soon, I promise.
No really, I will.

So I went to physics today (picture a shorter English guy with graying hair whacking my brain with a meter stick), which is all well and good, but afterwards (and before discussion) I walked over to EMS to, um, tinkle...because there were a thousand kids in the other bathroom. Anyway, the sky was that dull bruise color when I went in, but when I came out; the sun was shining in full fury. So I closed my eyes to suck me in some good weather (also because of the awful hour of morning), and a man walked across my path. I thought it was the neatest thing to just listen to footsteps. So I wonder, when was the last time you closed your eyes and just really listened? Try it. Outside.

During discussion kids kept walking by the door, being loud, being kids. Some astronomy thing, or something. But afterward, I walked outside, and what did I see? Forty thousand kids, running around in a circle all at different levels, and one kid, standing in the middle. I asked just what in the freak was going on, and was told that they were demonstrating what an atom would look like (yeah lady, if the kids running around were fast enough to form a cloud, and the nucleus was bigger. Atoms totally don't look like kids, but kids apparently look like atoms). I had about my thousandth, "Wow, this should be in a movie." moment in the last few weeks. Just an absolutely surreal couple of seconds. One of the other better ones recently was this absolutely hilarious conversation between some middle-aged people about how important it is to protect yourself by wearing a helmet on your bike.

The week after that I saw a kid wearing full pads and a helmet, using his hand signals even for turning enough to cross the street.

It was amazing, and more than enough to make me grin.
