22 September 2009 1 am (FML)

Today, I got to lay out at the school newspaper. I really like to layout, only I got assigned to work at 10 pm. Any time laying out is pretty good for me; after all I'm just a freshman. Thing is, I live at the exact opposite end of campus. So I take off at like, 9:30, hoping I will get there by 10. Five minutes into my walk, I decide to call my parents. This predicament - me, walking alone in the pouring rain sans rain gear - is, after all, entirely their fault. They are the ones that wouldn't let me bring my car with me to college saying "You won't need it!" Little did they realize the buses suck (not unlike my life missing my car) and that I would need to go into town if I ever wanted the really cool and hip stories for the newspaper.

So I rant for about 5 minutes to my dad before my mom gets on the phone and promises to get me rain-boots this weekend if I make it home. Just then, I reach the street from the pedestrian walkway. A huge black SUV rolls on by at like 35 mph in a 25 mph zone, and before I can even move, I am drenched from head to toe in street water!

It was an out of body experience. Like I was watching a montage of of misery in a film. Protagonist is down and out and wanders around in the rain with a crap umbrella...looks up and is drowned by a wave of water. Soaked by some jerks in a nice car. FML.

After crying into the phone for a little bit - I mean, you'd cry too. That freakin' sucks. - I continued on. Walking behind some buildings just off of the quad I see this really creepy raccoon run out in front of me. It stops, and stares at me with it's creepy green - looking bulbous eyes. It then runs into a gutter of sorts and as a hustle on by, I can see it's huge eyes just watching me...

IN SHORT. My life would suck so much less if my car were here. and if my parents had just bought the freakin' rain-boots I had asked for all of this crap could've been avoided.

COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED!
