i go to college: so many talents

Our quad friend is back...this time with a hammock!  Apparently twirling socks around is exhausting.

 

So here we (me, along with a friend who is also a student who works in our office) are standing watching him out the office window.

So this friend, who has just learned, literally a few minutes earlier, that she has been accepted to the grad school of her choice AND been offered an assitantship there AND would also be receiving fellowship dollars from them, exclaims, 

...in complete sincerity,

"wow, he just has so many talents"

((referring to his presence in this same spot in the past when he has been sock twirling, hula hooping, and he is apparently a skateboarder (look at tree).  and now a hammock!))

 

Yes, indeed he does.  We should all be so gifted to be able to hula hoop and lay in a hammock.

(Yea, clearly she is a nicer/better/kinder person than I am)

but it's impossible to deny....he certainly is an entertainer.  

i hope he isn't graduating.

on a completely unrelated note...you might remember that his isn't the first hammock to be seen in the quad..check out this one from last year 

this is why we can't be friends: hair

Remember this good looking guy?

 

Yea, me neither.

Now I live with HIM:

Spring...tis the season of hair cuts?

hmm. interesting / i go to college

Ahh spring time on a college campus.  The leaves are coming out...people spend quality time in the quad studying, reading, and uh....swinging around socks with tennis balls inside of them?

Also the time of year when the shorts and and skirts start coming out.  And this guy can finally show off his seasonal "team captain" shirt.  Because why isn't this a perfectly acceptable shirt to wear to class?

this is why we can't be friends: country living

This is why our new house really shouldn't be in town....

I go to college: that's the ticket!

Saw this ticket sticking out of the top of a trashcan today while walking across campus.

 

Conclusions to be drawn:

1. This trashcan was illegally parked in the Haymaker North lot.

OR

2. This student is going to have a problem next time they try to enroll, graduate, etc.

really?  In whose mind is this the best solution?

but i made it...

Yea, I know...I'm still in denial. Sorry. Just haven't "felt it". when it comes to blogging lately. But I am tired of getting harassed by people to update it. (aka...2 people sort of mentioned it to me in passing....yes, i'm very sensitive)

Anyway, I thought I would share my latest self-induced problem.

See last week when a friend stopped by to visit me in my office I was absentmindedly playing with a piece of scotch tape while we were chatting (yea, not sure why either), but I was delighted to find that I made THIS:::::

Yes, a little tape star that I put on my volume dial on my keyboard. (isn't it lovely).

It is.

It is a GIANT PAIN!!! IT IS ALWAYS IN THE WAY -- WHENEVER SOMEONE CALLS AND I NEED TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN, ETC...IT IS SO HARD TO USE WITH THAT STUPID TAPE STAR ON THERE.

So you are thinking "so just take it off". excellent suggestion. only I can't. not sure why. I just want it to stay.

I have created my own little hell with a piece of scotch tape.

Yes. I am aware that some people have "actual problems".
