This is going to be so great!

So far, today has been really great, something which Garfield would not say about any Monday. Following the viewing of a few episodes of Ancient Inventions with Terry Jones at the home of Denton, I arrived at my home and around midnight went to bed. I was too tired to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic this morning, and got around too late for my sister, so she drove herself to school, while I went back to bed, after I briefly attempted to do some homework for my German class.

I actually got around a little later still, and left myself little time before my shift to go to Mr Goodcents for the sandwich. With eight minutes remaining, I called my place of work to say that I would likely be ten minutes late. I entered campus, and thought to myself:

“I should try very hard to find a space in front of the building, but I can’t get that lucky. Can I?”

Well, I did, I did find a space in the lot in front of the building. In actuality, I thought that I had gotten lucky, yet the revisionist in me thinks:

“This is gonna be so great!”

I started work at five minutes past noon, and ate the first quarter of my foot-long sandwich. Two hours hence, I ate another quarter. Two hours later, I ate a third quarter, when I take a break for my class. Between Wednesday evening and this morning barely gave my homework a second thought, so I was not prepared for class tonight. Fortunately an exchange student from Dresden visited our class, and my German about forgetting my homework went over well. I should soon e-mail Eric, to at least sample some German electronica music.

I really wanted to refill my QuikTrip mug with iced tea from the Food Court, but I was hungry for a little more than the waiting, final quarter of sandwich, so I stopped at the <C> Store. Aaron was taking a break to make a call, but Larissa, a friend from Denton’s first improv troupe, was there. I bought a sandwich and a bottled water. She and I talked for a short while until Aaron returned.

While Aaron described the recent college football game between Ohio State and Nebraska, I practiced active listening. I learned a few things about how American football is scored, and how Nebraska rallied in the third quarter (see what I did there?). I told Aaron about the game that I saw while I was at Bar West on Saturday afternoon:

Twitter / Christopher Hurt: “And the long day continues for Missouri in Manhattan.” ...

Twitter / Christopher Hurt: “Tim Allen was not that funny twenty years ago, and now he has a new situational comedy?” ...

Twitter / Christopher Hurt: “Tigers finally near the K-State goal are difficult to ignore when simultaneously showing on ten television screens.” ...

Anyway I returned to work and to talk some with Joel, whom I have known since high school, and thought to myself:

“This is gonna be so great!”

However, I have to admit:

“You’re telling the whole story all over again!”

Friendship is magic, everyone.
