First Day… Again.

So today was the first day of school. My radio alarm went off at six this morning and I barely heard it. I’m used to the annoying chatter of two female djs on our local 97.3fm at 7:40. This time I actually heard music and it was comforting, even though my alarm is really loud. It took me a few minutes to realize I was singing along to a song, half asleep. I got up, showered, dressed, ate and was out the door by 7am. Big mistake.

Everybody and their grandma was on the streets at this time. I found myself yelling at cars to the front of me, as well as to the back, left, and right of me. So basically I spent the whole hour and a half drive to downtown yelling at people that couldn’t hear me. Once in a while I’d stop to sing along to my music, but mostly it was in a burning rage.

I didn’t even attempt to park in the lot near to my campus because I knew it would be packed, so I parked only a few blocks away in the garage. Good thing I had my skateboard handy so I could race to class without breaking a sweat. Looks like I was the only one who was late, and my professor made sure to point that out. Bummer. I made up for it by asking a lot of profound questions throughout the class such as: “How long are we expected to work on any given illustration?” and “What is a flat sheet“. I think I’m on safe ground again.

Well this hurricane is hitting Florida tomorrow and it looks like classes are still open in the morning. This calls for an early bedtime and an early wake-up, even earlier than today’s. So everybody join me in welcoming my new friend Five Thirty Ayem. And while you’re at it say hello to our guest Katrina.

  • lol..aww Dave. I haven’t seen 5:30 am since…..well, a long time.
    I lucked out…Mondays and Wednesdays I start at 11am. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I start at 2pm. So no early risings for me.
    But no worries, you can do it…I belive in you!

    P.S. I checked out that threadless shirts site…nice! So THAT’S where you got that chicken shirt… Most of the deigns I REALLY like are out of print though. I want that Macgyver one. :)

  • No fair! I wish my class schedule was humane like yours. I’m just glad school was cancelled for the rest of the week. More rest!

    Yeah threadless shirts rock. I’ve got one coming in the mail hopefully next week. Oh! and I bought a shirt at the Acceptance show. It’s a Cartel shirt. Make sure you listen to their music, they were great. An even better band was Augustana. I hope to catch them again. Hmmm, what would Macgyver do?

  • guess your first impression on your professor wasnt good, wake upearlier!lol…...how are ya after katrina?
