tuesday may 12

today i had an unusually long break between classes -- over five hours! figuring it wasn't worth it to spend an hour each way going home and back during this break, i commenced killing time on campus. at about the third or fourth hour, i resorted to watching an episode of the shield on my laptop with headphones on, in one of the public lounge areas. the violent and sometimes sexual nature of the show made me nervous about watching it with others around, and i had to glance over my shoulder to make sure no one was behind me, questioning what the hell i was watching, during a couple of sex scenes. ultimately though, i got through it, and it made me appreciate for the first time how few people were on campus in the summer.
