A Few Things...

I've Done and Learned in Colorado.

Today after being on my lonesome for the first time since I got to my new school I remembered that eating is actually necessary. Not having a meal plan yet I had to choose between looking lonely while eating Burger King inside the restaurant or looking lonely and creepy eating it in my car. For some reason I chose the latter.

I decided to eat in the parking lot of a Safeway because I needed to get a few things when I was done. Checking out with a twelve pack of soda, two frozen pizzas, and gum made me feel unhealthy.

Also the people that walk in to your dorm randomly are never the people you wish would. Meaning hot chicks.

Waking up to your brand new room mate pleasuring himself furiously is possibly one of the worst ways to spend a first night at a new dorm.

People that start talking with you on an elevator rarely want to keep talking with you after you get off. If you talk to them BEFORE you both get on it's an entirely different story.

Asking a group of people for directions, them giving them to you, and then going the same way they are is awkward. Do I walk with them? Do they care? I decide that I should just thank them and kind of sprint-walk away.

Apparently there's a thing called "Slack lining". Basically you tie rope between two trees and try to walk on it. I fear being asked to try it because I enjoy my face being uncrushed. It's only a matter of time until I'm goaded into attempting.

Again I go to eat dinner by myself but at a dining hall. There's no place to sit alone so I plop down next to a few dudes. I sit in silence while they chat until they bring up cereal. I inform them that cereal never lets you down. They agree and we share slightly uncomfortable conversation for the next few minutes. I only remember one of the guy's name. It was Hunter. I always remember names that are a profession/hobby. If your name is Skater or Runner, I will remember it.

A guy randomly stopped me and asked if I was sick. After replying "no" he just walked away. I hope I don't look sick. People are terrified of Swine Flu. That's for real. My friend Thomas suggested that I probably blew my chance at being a secret agent as this was most likely a test to respond properly. I obviously didn't.
