Morning Fog


They say out of ten times you see a person from far away and fantasize about the way they look, nine times you will regret that fantasy. Welcome to community college.

When I talk about fantasies I'm not just talking about "hot" people or "drop dead gorgeous" people. This reffers to many aspects of Community College. When I see someone and I say to myself, this person looks pretty cool, then they smile. OH! Hello I liked you better with your mouth shut. Maybe don't smile as much. I'm not trying to pick on those people, I'm just trying to give you some color of what this place is and how much diversity it contains. For example: Just saw a man walk by with an eye patch and its not even halloween! Big smile on my face right now. Can't they make something better for you eye instead of a pirate eye patch though? I mean really, why havn't they come out with one-eyed glasses? But, I loved the eye patch because it just fits in so well here. So I'm in writting class right now....I find that ironic. Side note - Camo pants with a grey dress shirt don't go together. Oh and to the guy wearing the Mickey Mouse sweat shirt, this is community college (not the happiest place on earth like say.....DisneyLand) but I applaud your attempt to make it that. Thank you. I feel happier. Ok, so to recap on Community College (just saw a mustache walk by), I love diversity and I love all the people that come here. I just want to shout out a big thank you to them for what they offer me. In a way they are all my teachers teaching me the ways of life and how to write about them. I love you college.

Today

7:30am the alarm went off. "Ahhhhhh" Thats what I said when I heard it. I then remembered why I was getting up. School! Community college to be exact! I got excited because everyday at school is like going to an amusement park of fabulous events.

As I walked up to the building which contained my first class, I was greeted with the fresh smell of second hand smoke. Yum. I think the ratio of people who smoke to people who don't here is 5:1. That was a side note. Lets talk about my psychology class. First I just want to say that I love it and its my favorite class. One of the best things that happens everyday in there is this: the teacher will ask a question like "why might we not want to know who we really are? Ashley, tell why you think that is." and she will respond with "I think because we are scared". "ok ok ok. Tell me more. Why you think that is?" she responds with "Oh I don't know" Really? you don't know? Maybe shut your oral cavity and don't speak. I love that people will say anything in response to a question without even thinking about why they answered the way they did. Then they feel stupid and get embarrassed and I "lol" inside. Yeah that's possible. I laugh out loud inside my head thank you. Ok now to my writing class. Today I witnessed two guys passing a note. Lets break this down for a second. Passing notes.......wasn't that a middle school thing? The greatest thing is that these two guys are part of a group of three that are trying to impress a girl who sits in front of me. Before class starts all three of them talk to her starring at her like a bug who is about to die right before he gets electrocuted by the bug zapper. One of them is a wannabe rapper (funny). Another is about ten years old with a fro the size of the room. The last guy is a rocker and has huge lamb chops. Ok, lamb chops? Why do people like those? are they actually cool? Maybe they have them for when they get their mug shot taken? All you see in the photo is hair. Nice. Last week she gave them each a piece of gum and I'm pretty sure that was enough to give them all hope for a month. Oh she also has a boyfriend. Ok well this concludes today's writings. Thanks for reading!

Today's Community

Let me first just give you a run down of community college. It's awesome. It's so diverse. It's great for watching people and talking to crazies. After being out of school for 5 years and recently deciding to return, I found myself disappointed in waiting so long to be submerged in this glorious array of amazingly awesome and fantastic people. I mean come on, where else can you find mullets and cowboys mixed with thugs, jocks and geeks? Community college! Thats where! Just as I am writing this I am starring at a gentleman who has hair down to his mid back and a fabulous and gorgeous mustache. I love mustaches. They make me feel......good inside. And mostly just for the fact that people still think they're mustache is the hottest thing out there and they are so proud to promote it! Don't get me wrong. I'm not dogging on the stache because I think they are fantastic. Community. Oh I almost forgot about the guys who think they are amazing at picking up girls.....hmmm......wow. I will save that for another time. Well I will be done here. There is so much to write about and you will hear it soon!
