Not asking for a lot

There are some things in life I think would be nice to have that I currently don't. Such as:

1. Friends 
2. Windshield wipers that make the road easier to see, not harder
3. Enough money to at least buy deodorant (don't worry my mom got me some) 
4. Someone to watch the front office for me a work for 5 minutes. Seriously, the last fifteen minutes of every night I am so close to peeing myself.  
5. Boobs

If I won the lottery, all of these problems would be solved. Everyone would want to be my friend. I could buy the windshield wipers, deodorant, and boobs. And I could quit this lame job because I wouldn't need the money! See how that would work out? I don't get people who say money won't solve all your problems or make you happy-it totally would.

Though there probably are more realistic ways to go about this. But I'm not complaining. Like I said, they would just be nice to have.

College students say the darnest things

It happens that you always seem to catch the weirdest parts of people's conversations. Recently I've noticed that this happens more often at that moment when you take your earphones out at a crowded place. I'm going to call it the Harper Cafeteria Phenomenon.

Today I got: "I put hand sanitizer on and she said she could still taste it." I don't want to speculate what that could possibly be referring to.

Monday's was a little more clear cut: "You can do anything on PCP, man." But it's still just as weird.

As interesting as these are, maybe I should leave my earphones in until I get to class.

There's nothing like a good snowgasm

Well, Chicago's 3rd largest snowstorm is over. It had been hyped up for days before. Reports of 24" of snow, strong winds and "life-threatening conditions" were the only things on the news for days. The radio station I listen to had a blast with this. They came up with more names for it- snowmageddon, snowzilla, snowMG, and my favorite- snowgasm.

The storm was pretty crazy. As it was starting yesterday afternoon, I was driving home from school. Everything was white. Stoplights were shaking from the wind. I couldn't go more than 15mph without my car sliding. The traffic was so terrible it took me 4x as long to get home as it normally does and my car's windshield wipers just smeared the snow so I couldn't see.

Last night everyone's Facebook statuses were about the blizzard, "snowpocalyse, " and thunder snow. 

This morning I woke up early, because I was sick and couldn't sleep, but also because I didn't want to miss the snowpocalypse. I looked out the window to see the snow and wind. My neighbor was outside snow-blowing his driveway in his fire suit. I guess you don't get a snow day when you're the fire chief.

As I was listening to the radio this morning they were talking about the storm and all, including what happen  on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Apparently there were a few accidents which stranded people in their cars for hours. As they continued to talk about that story they referred to it as the "LSD situation." I thought that was an unfortunate acronym.
