Wow, its been a while...I need to start doing this weekly.
Distractions
So last Thursday, I was talking to a friend online while putting off my homework. We both had a bunch of crap to do, but we really didn't want to do it. Ever. Well, maybe not never, but we really didn't want to do it then. It called for a homework strike. So we got a couple others in and went over to her apartment to eat pizza and watch Half Baked.
The next morning I had one mission. Go to Grainger library and do the homework that I put off, no distractions. Then I just needed to turn it in by 3 p.m. and I would be golden. I got the homework part done, and was on my way to turn it in...but then Spring happened...
This year Spring snuck up on me like a big guy in a dark ally wielding a nine iron looking to crack some skulls. And play golf. In the dark ally. I seriously had been so busy the past few weeks that I didn't even notice it until I smelled it.
If you live in Champaign, you may know the smell I am talking about. Not a pleasant one, a really nasty odor that I really cannot describe. I wish I knew the name of the tree it comes from. Ugh. Disgusting.
Anyway, I'm walking with my eyes at the ground and notice this smell, causing me too look up. Wow. It may smell bad, but the visuals are great. The beautiful flowers. The beautiful skies. The beautiful women (was startin to sound a little gay there...had to stop that).
Well, I could afford a short trip to the quad. I had 45 minutes before the assignment was due, no use wasting it. And the Quad was almost on the way, and the scenary on nice days is always gorgeous.
I walked a loop around the Quad and was on my way to Illini Hall to turn in the assignment, but then I noticed that my Bank One ATM was on the way. I needed money, and it was pretty much on the way, so I figred I should get some cash and practice the ancient Asian art of CHA-CHING.
After getting my money, I realized that I was hungry and standing right outside of Silver Mine. Might have been the smell that got me there too. One sandwch couldn't hurt, and I had the money to pay for it.
Into Silver Mine, place an order, get the sandwich, and then back to the quad to eat it. Yummy. Then I watched some people attempt to walk on a rope between two trees while others talked to a guy dressed as a bunch of grapes, and then found a bus to take me home.
But wait, I'm missing something...
That's right, boys and girls, I forgot to turn in the homework. And by the time I realized this, it was 3. Ouch. No late policy either. I decided to turn it in anyway, just to see if he'd be lenient, but I'm not so sure it's gonna happen. The professor is a Communist.
Distractions, distractions, the only reason I was even on campus was to turn in the assignment. But I didn't. But I don't really care, because my distractions were the three greatest things known to man: Food, Money, and Women.
