These are a few of my favourite things...

Got nothing to write about

It looks like rain. Nothing is new. How about a funny story? 'Cause I'm kind of bored.

It wasn't the first day of college. It might have been the second. New pencils and backpacks and clothes. The perfect jeans paired with a beautiful white cable knit sweater. New beginings and challenges and friends and knowledge and excitement. I love school.

And a new store. Tim Hortons. Country mouse in the city. Extra large hot chocolate, please. Not quite mature enough for coffee. Finding the classroom. Getting the perfect seat, in the middle. Not too close to the front to be considered a geek, not to close to the back to be a slacker. Arranging my desk and supplies. New pen, binder, organizer and calculator. New supplies make my brain happy. The new teacher looks kind. Kind eyes.

And then with one swoop, my hot chocolate teatered over and tipped. I am a klutz. My new, wool, white cable knit sweater was now a soaking 400lb, miss-shapen, dripping chocolate mess. I had to leave and walk (okay, run, sobbing) through the entire campus looking like I was attacked by the easter bunny and drive 1 hour home in chocolate water.

I almost dropped out of school that day. It is kind of funny, now.
