It began Monday morning, in my attempt to fix my sleep schedule by pulling an all nighter. The idea made a lot of sense in my head, yet when put into effect, kind of failed. I passed through my Monday classes in a Zombie like state, falling asleep at 2:30, waking up close to 8.
The whole nocturnal thing didn't really help the cold I was developing, and when the two where put together it made for a pretty shitty first half of the week. Luckily, Advil PM is still legal and knocked me the eff out on Wednesday night.
Pullman is kind of a strange place at 5 in the morning. In my restless state, I ventured a walk outside on Monday morning to wake myself up. (I'll come back to this...)
So parking here. It kinda sucks. Most lots require a pass at all times, but a select few allow parking on the weekends, or between the hours of 5pm to 5am.
They are pretty serious about the 5am thing.
Wandering out the parking lot right outside my dorm, a white truck with "WSU Parking" scribed on the side pulls up and parks in the middle of the lot. A few seconds later, he starts writing people tickets.
The interesting thing is that he left the truck running while issuing the BS tickets to the unsuspecting cars.
I think back to the tickets acquired by Ben and I at the beginning of the year totaling $105 between the two of us, and consider how it might go down if I jack the truck and drive off into the night.
Then I remembered I was functioning on a few hours worth of sleep, and sadly decided against it.
But that would have made for a very interesting Monday.
Oh yea, update on the quiet hours nonsense from the last blog-
The petition. After having most of my floor signing it, to no avail, we figured its time to get more of the building in on the shenanigans. I figured that freshman focus classes (a bunch of people from one building in a class) would be a good place to get a lot of signatures in a small time period. I ask my buddy Uris to talk to our professor about passing the petition through the class.
So, if you've ever had a class with me, spent time with me for an extended period of time, or even met me once or twice, you've probably deduced that I don't really like attention all that much.
With that in mind, you can imagine my surprise when Uris told me that I would be speaking to my GenEd class this Friday.
There's aboot 125 people in the class usually, most of whom live in my building.
I was given an entire minute to explain to the class what we were doing, and I used maybe 30 seconds of it. I think it could have gone a lot worse though, as the redness factor of my face didn't get to far past its usual tone.
Anyhoo, the paper got passed through maybe 45 people, about 30 of whom signed it. Not bad on a small scale, but considering there are still around 80 people who didn't even see it... Eh, we'll hit the class again on Monday I'm guessing.
Total signatures=53. Roughly 300 people live in North Tower, so I think we're off to a decent start.
And two weeks from now, I'll be chillin with my Tri-Town homies once again.
