Today was magical.
Not in a way that I was extremely happy, or really good looking, or feeling wonderful; but because of the just plain weird events that happened throughout.
Lets begin with the beginning of the day. I slept until 6:30. That's the longest I have slept in on a school day since eighth grade. Then I got into a car full of the sweet sound of my favorite musician: Jack Johnson. As banana Pancakes filled the air around me, I made my way to the middle school where I was to teach the young teens to not partake in sexual activities. I honestly do the program for college type recognition, but it turned out being quite fun. I was in charge of the emotional/ mental problems (hahahha), go figure. I'm not convinced the kids won't be having sex, but it was nice for them, and myself, to take a break from regular school for some fun. Not to mention the shirt I was required to wear has a very seductive lady on the front labeled "peers girl." I find it absolutely hilarious. I may include a picture, I'm not sure yet. I also recieved a bracelet that says, "abstain to attain- abstente del sexo"
I'm glad to know we are reaching out to a variety of languages, i am still waiting for my Chen translation though.
Anyways, about halfway through we decided to go out to lunch. I was sitting in an Arby's, just drinking my milk shake, when I look over and see a local CVS in the process of being robbed. It was truly incredible. The guy tried to escape, but no such luck. Tons of police cars soon surrounded the place, and he was taken away. Sometimes I wonder how low one must sink in order to make the decision to rob someone. Then I wonder how one goes about deciding which place to choose. I often contemplate these weird situations, because if I were to rob something I need to have an idea of where I'm going to go. I'd probably rob an ice cream store. That way I could order them to make me an ice cream cone as I took all of the money, and have a nice treat on my way out. I take that back. I would have it in a bowl so it wouldn't be so messy. I would hate to leave a trail. I think there's some movie in which this happens, but the name has escaped my mind.
After this exciting robbery, we went back and finished up with our last class. In this one, one of the consequences of having sex in the video we showed was "lack of social life." Some girl turned to me and said, "that's so true. When my momma got pregnant with my little sister, she didn't get to party no more. Now that's just wrong."
This girl was twelve...
I laughed.
Then afterwards, I went to the license branch to receive my license. Now getting a license is supposed to be rather exciting I would think. I was kind of excited. Maybe. I passed the test and then came the moment I dread. The picture. I really just don't enjoy pictures. I find myself to be completely not camera acceptable, and after my permit photo, I knew the beautiful blue background did not do me justice. Vanessa, the DMV lady, handed me my new card, and to my great surprise, I didn't look that hideous. In fact, I look better than a majority of my recent photos. Now sure that isn't saying much, but this little surprise made me quite the happy camper.
Then I went to the doctor for another appointment. Unlike many people, I enjoy the doctor. I don't mind the shots, I like to read all of the charts and discuss the latest medicines and whatnot with the nurses who all know me by name...This is probably not a good sign. But either way, I have swine flu. Just kidding. But i did get new medicine. Which then led me to Target, the super store.
I really enjoy target. I love everything about the cleanliness, the people, the snazzy colors and pictures they display in the lovely shade of green. It's not like those other nasty grocery stores, with the horrendous ugly white and tope based colors, but it's full of reds and greens and pretty floors. I dropped off my prescription, and made my way over to the patio section. I enjoy testing out all of the new stuff to make sure it's acceptable, and see all of the outrageous new designs they've come up with. Then I went to technology. The obvious best place to entertain me for hours. I bought fifty new cd sleeves, a new set of headphones, and some random iPod accessory. Then I went over to the artsy part, and ended up with a pad of patterned paper, a few photo things, and a notebook. Then I went back to pick up my medicine and checked out with hott cashier named Warren. What a name.
Then I went to McDonalds to buy my mother a diet coke. They said please pull to the first window, and I did but no one ever came. Then I realized it was the next window. But that is technically the second window, so I got really confused as to where I was supposed to go. I really think they should consider labeling those things. However at the third window, where I was supposed to get the drink, I was apparently holding a dollar in my hand and the man with the drink asked if it was his tip. I laughed, seeing to it was a joke. And he smiled and I took the coke. Then he said, "i thought you might help a brother out, seeing to it's his birthday today." So I smiled, said Happy Birthday, and handed over the dollar to my new friend Lawrence. He seemed very pleased.
So yes, my day so far has been interesting, and it's only three o clock. I just thought I'd share because I'm weird.
"You're weird. In an attractive, great way."
