Don't Drink Pina Coladas.
I needed a change of scenery today so when I caught wind that Cedric and Scott were heading to campus I rushed to get all my 410 material together to go to the library with them and use the computers there. I get everything in my backpack and try to get the manager interview I did onto my MD player. I converted the file but could not find where the heck it was. Three minutes til the bus arrives. I'm sweating at this point and nervous that I will not catch the bus so I tell them to go without me and I'll catch the next one. I went back upstairs and finally figured out where the converted file went so I saved it on a MD and stuffed them into my leather jacket and went on my way. As I approach the bus stop on Reid I see Nick up ahead and I try to hide a grin as I walk up shaking my head. We talk for a bit before the bus comes up and have some laughs. "That's an nice pee hole you got there" I said, because of the large hole on the front of his pants. "Yeah got that from college when I took chemistry, hydrochloric acid got on it." We get on the bus and trode along. The skies are a looming light grey, a little bit of rain falls down creating sand brown, wet sidewalks. When the bus gets to the library we go our seperate ways and I walk up the steps and walk in. It's still pretty busy inside dispite it being exam time. I see Scott right away and we talk for a little bit.
I walk downstairs and look for a computer that doesn't allow anyone to see my screen. Not sure why. I get one at the far corner and log in. The screen looks more purple than it should so I spend some time playing around with the settings of the monitor until I figure out how to change it back to normal. Once that was out of the way I turned on my MD player and listend to the manager interview I recorded while typing out some rough notes. Hmm, the battery is getting low. I call up my parents to chat for a bit and get some info about the OPG employee I interviewed. I forgot to ask him what a section manager for project and modifications actually does. I finish listening to the interview and statisfied with my notes I head to the front of the library to catch the bus.
When I get there it's around 16:00 hours, meaning I've been in the library now for over 2 hours. Nick is there when I arrive and we shake our heads again at our chance meeting. As I'm talking to him about nonsense Melissa appears before us. All three of us joke around and the rain starts to come down lightly. A bunch of students waiting on the steps go underneath the concrete ceiling further back. We remain where we are though. The bus comes up and we all get on and sit at the front together. Nick jokes that I should get him an umbrella and come back to get him on the bus. What a joker. I actually made plans with little Steph to meet up at Subway. So I said good byes and went to Subway. I called her up to let her know I'm at Subway and I get inside to order my sub. Afterwards she walks up with her dog and I stuff the goods in my backpack and we walk our way back.
It stopped raining now and so we take the bike trail behind the houses. She lets me take the lease for a little bit and the dog waddles along. We get back to her place and I sit down and talk to her while eating my sub. Afterwards we watched a little bit of the Simpsons while I rubed her dog's stomach with my foot. The dog rolled on her back with the paws sticking outwards and flopped over.
I walked back home after the show ended and listened to some HIM on my MD player. Walking back the rain started to pick up a bit to a light drizzle. I took the side streets on the route to my house and walked by a playground where two mothers were at a park with their kids. The rain continued to come down lightly and yet the family seemed unphased as if we were all living in two co-existing worlds layered on top of each other with polar opposite weather conditions.
As I walk back home I look up to the light grey sky and feel the tinyest of drops freckled my face. I then took a big inale of the aromas around me only to notice the distinct smell of a fresh worm being washed out of the grass.
It felt good.
