Joys of a College Student

It’s 5:20pm as I pull into the college parking lot. As usual, it’s jammed packed so I end up parking on the far side and hoof it to the building where the lab is located. I arrive to see I could have my pick of computers... except for one student, the lab is empty.

I choose a terminal facing the lone student. I think he’s the same guy people were making fun of in my ecology class, but I’m not sure. As I’m fumbling my way through my Access assignments, I continuously hear the sucking of snot. Yeah, gross eh? Imagine sitting across from it for almost 3 hours! I kept thinking to myself: “You’re a freakin grown man, go blow your nose!” A few times I looked up from my computer screen to see him rubbing his nose. (Ewww!) Then touch the computer keyboard! Ack. Note to Self: Bring Lysol sanitizing wipes next time.

When I couldn’t stand the sound effects anymore, I put on my headphones and listened to the music I have uploaded to my phone. That MP3 player comes in handy!

At 8:10pm, the lab assistant kicks us out. I guess the lab closes at 8pm. Oops.

As I exit the building, I observe the barren parking lot. Figures. I also notice that it’s extremely COLD. Halfway to the car, I was started to shiver and made sure not to breathe too deeply so my asthma wouldn’t flare up. What was I thinking?!? Only an insane person would park way out in the boon-docks. Oh yeah, didn’t have a choice. Note to self: Take off work early to get a good parking space. No wait, that might not be a good idea. It was like the devil and the angel sitting on my shoulders having a conversation. Maybe try a different parking lot next time.

Much to my surprise, I managed to get 2½ weeks worth of assignments done in 3 hours. If I only had about 15 more minutes, I would’ve been able to finish the last assignment before the quiz. Maybe I can do that before my Business Law class tonight.
