Thankful for boredom
So I am feeling a bit bored- sitting here in class. I guess that is a good sign. I am thankful for boredom- being that it means that I know the stuff well enough to be bored. I am also grateful for a teacher who is pretty laid back and really nice. Thank heavens I am not sitting in a class where the teacher is a jerk and doesn't make the class fun. As a matter of fact he just asked if we were tuning him out- I replied "yes" jokingly of course (ok obviously not really because, I am writing this as he speaks) and he laughed and went on a tangent about seasonal affect disorder and how he feels the same way- and that he is going to just use that as an excuse when his wife asks him to do things. Seriously though- I am hearing something to the tune of prompts blah blah blah blah, seasonal affect disorder yadda yadda yadda, talk about it again blah blah, subsequent response. Yeah, not exactly the best use of my 3 hours in class. I have actually googled boredom and found bored.com and found that even that is boring. Well, I am thankful to be alive so I can be bored- thankful for cognition so I can know when I am out of it, I am thankful for work so I don't have to be bored, I am thankful for learning so I can expand my mind, I am thankful for interesting things- even though I am not experiencing any at this moment.

Reality Check
Ok- I just had the funniest experience on the T. I am sitting there minding my own business when these two guys walk on. Being that I am in the habbit of listening in on conversations for at least a second I tuned in to what they were saying. At first it seemed so normal, and then, I realized that they were in a full discussion of the policies of the Empire. They were detaling its history, discussing its current political climet, and talking about the most iminent dangers. Oh, I thought- history majors. . . no. . . not the case. . . I then caught the words "sith lord" and almost lost it. They were discussing The Empire they actually believed themselves to be living in this recession free empire where the major problem happened to be the fact that they were going to have difficulty finding a race similar enough to their own with which to procreate (I agree. . . and yes. . . they actually did discuss this, the difficulty they believe they will encounter in finding a mate) among other topics discussed was the way that past rulers had influenced the current political tide, and how history may repeat itself with the recent birth of "the small sith" who on earth has any idea what that means, but I thought it was like the best thing I had ever heard. I wished I had taped the entire conversation so I could laugh about it on some future bad day. Reality Check Guys- this is planet earth.
