Re: valentines day

Let's see...

0800: Awake.
0845: Moving car to the Coliseum lot to avoid getting a ticket for being at a meter. (The meters start at 0900.)
0855: There's no space in my usual lot, so I park at the one next to it.
0915: On the Carolina Shuttle to the BA building for my first class. Marvin Gaye is playing on the bus radio. A football player from USC (judging by his Independence Bowl hoodie and general large size) is making jokes.
0930: Class.
1030: Pop quiz. Whee.
1100: Lunch time. Burger King.
1130: Obligatory check of Delphi/email/etc.
1215: Print off the paper I needed for...
1230: Hand in assignment for GEOG 333, then a test.
1315: Finish the test, bum around the BA building, upload FVC Orangeburg pics to Delphi.
1400: Class number three
1510: Class ends, I go up to the shuttle stop to get a ride to the Coliseum.
1530: The shuttle finally shows up. (I know what you're thinking--get off your butt and walk, Billfred!--but look at the map. There's no way I'm walking the entire width of campus.)
1550: After an obscenely long delay at the Greek Village stop (traffic), I get off the shuttle and into my car.
1600: Robotics starts at Irmo High School. I'm somewhere on I-26.
1610: With a slight scrape of the undercarriage on this funky drainage setup nearby, I arrive at Irmo.
1630: First comment about my supposed emo status. (Lies, all lies.)
1631: First disapproving stare of the night
1830: I take home one of the freshmen and go back to USC.
1925: That same Coliseum lot is full again. I go to the other one again.
1930: There are two evening shuttles moving next to each other. I miss both of them. Feeling approximately beat, I walk back up to Preston, dump my bags, and get dinner.

That's about the excitement of the day. To quote a former 1293 driver, "meh."
