College musings

In the land of college
Where coffee flows like water
Strange things happen

Like why did I stay up 'til four
Watching the Grand Budapest Hotel
With roommates and tea
Only to fall asleep ten minutes in?

Or spend close to ten hours
In two days
Dancing ballroom

Or walk to a cemetery
And run back to watch a show
And then another show

Or accidentally sleep for twelve hours straight
Only to sleep for three the next day?

(I suppose that works out to seven and a half
On average)

In the land of college
Where jazz plays on sunny work days
And identity crises loom

What impending doom.

Nah, it's chill
Just keep p-setting.

Dialogue Snippets

It's been four weeks in Vancouver now.  I mean, on top of the nearly nine hundred weeks preceding that.  I have plenty of time to be blogging, so here's a few overheard snapshots of all the weird things that go on at college.

Our library has couches.  Aw yeah.  You know we real high class, got that library so fly, 'cause we got them sweet couches.  They're green.

I was sitting on one of these couches the other day and across from me sat a girl and a guy.  The girl was wearing red, and the guy was... wearing clothes, of some sort.  To be honest, I wasn't really looking at them- but I was listening, and what I heard merited writing down.

"Is he gay?" says she.  "Can he be gay?  I'd like him more if he were gay."

Other quotes include "Koreans are good at everything!" and "I left my five dollars in my other pants."

We also have couches in our hallway.  Swag.  They're grey.  Or gray.  I don't know which one Canadians are supposed to use.

Today's overheard quote: "My only goal became to get milk and sugar in this coffee."

And, from an unrelated teacher walking briskly by: "...because Windows 8 doesn't work..."

I think that sums up college life pretty well.
