John and I forgot to bring two cars to campus again today- which we didn’t realise until we got there. I couldn’t just skip classes and head home so he could go to work, though, so I called the little bro for a ride home after Book of Mormon class. Science class was interesting today- it was a debate between the two sides of the room either confirming or denying that people need to change their lifestyle because of Global Warming. We had the first hour of class to meet with our group and work out our arguments, and then 40 minutes to debate back and forth. I found out that freshman in college have no idea what a debate is- and don’t know how to follow the rules. There ARE rules- and I remember learning them in high school, where I guess they don’t teach formal debate any more. But what can ya do?
After that class- I went to film. I met with my professor about my project, and it looks like I’ll be filming this weekend. More about that as I actually get to it- we’ll see how it goes. I’m a little nervous.
Book of Mormon tonight was fine- it was the last class, so now I only need to take the final and I’m done with that requirement. Graduation is so close, and so far away. So much work to do!
After THAT I was outside waiting for my brother to pick me up and a guy on a cellphone walked by, and I overheard this one-sided conversation.
“So, I wanted a granola bar. I looked at it, 40 cents, and in row F. So In MY head, when it told me to make my selection, it was 4F, but it was really 1F- so I got M&M’s by accident.”
That was all I heard- he walked away, and for just a second I judged him pretty harshly thinking to myself, “And that is what mobile communication has brought us. An opportunity to share useless, ridiculous things with each other right after they happen, so that we get a detailed play by play.” And then I thought about all the ridiculous things I write in this blog. And I was humbled. The of ridiculous, mundane information for tonight.
