I ranted today - 5:47 PM
After spending 1 yr in this campus, you would think that I would have had the orientation of all the buildings at the back of my hand by now... HELL, no. I got lost yesterday AND today. I took different paths and landed in unfamiliar surroundings. Yep, walk straight here, take a left turn there, and that will bring me to.... UH OH. No...I don't recognize this place... SHUCKS.Now, before you mock me, keep in mind that Michigan State (MSU) is one of the Big 10 colleges in the United States. That means we're top 10 in terms of size of campus as well as number of people (faculty+students). The campus is a massive 5000+ acres! I swear thats like the entire town of Bishan or something. Though a large part of it is taken up by the farmlands (YES, we used to be called MAC. definitely not M.A.C. as in M.A.C, but the Michigan Agricultural College), the civilized parts of the campus are still a big blur to me. We have to bring maps out whenever we go to some obscure building for classes u know? I'm walking to all my classes now cos I don't want to buy the bus pass. heh. But again, I'm only walking cos the weather is still cheery. And its a long walk... and i mean, A LONG walk.
While I was walking on the wrong path today, this girl suddenly bounced towards me (I'm using bounce cos thats wad she was doing!), had a cigarette in her hand, and said 'Can I ask you a question?' I wanted to pretend that I didn't hear her cos I thought she was high on drugs (yes, at 230pm) and was gonna ask me whether I believed in Saturn or something. But no la, not so dramatic, she merely asked me directions to Berkey Hall. Heng I just DEPARTED from Berkey Hall, so all was good.
Now, I don't like smokers. Thats ironic cos my dad's a smoker! -GAK-. Imagine, I'm in the countryside (yah, this place is ulu) now right? So in the mornings when I step out for classes, I wanna take a deep breath and take in the smell of the fresh air, morning dew, wadeva. THEN, I suddenly CHOKE cos someone's smoke just drifted past. -GASP- thats such a terrible way to start the morning! So, having said that, the smokers in my classes shouldn't sit nx to me anymore. Cos they bring in with them this odour that I can't stand...they sit next to me and TRANSFER it to me...I don't wanna smell it so I hold my breath, and I can't possibly hold my breath for too long cos I'll die! SeE! thats why they should just go sit by themselves or something.
So lets see whats on my rant list. Yep, smokers shouldn't sit nx to me. Other than that, the people living a floor above me HAVE to stop one of the following, wadeva they're doing.
- moving furniture EVERY NIGHT
- running down the hallways and screaming at the top of their lungs
- having sex. i mean,PLEASE! NOT THAT LOUD!
- talking.like.they're.so.nervous.and.can't.breathe
- putting their own personal activities before us and actually help us
- CLUELESS. there's a reason why they're the TAs HELLO?
