So! Where to start... Got up this morning, got online, decided sleep was more interesting than the internet, napped for a little bit, then went to class. It was my Civ professor's birthday, which he indulged by spending at least fifteen minutes discussing ancient theories of how reproduction worked or something... (no, that was his excuse for derailing class from the talk about justice, really). I got my paper back in there... did as well on it as I did on the midterm, so I think I'll survive that class as long as I don't screw up the final paper. Then I went to lunch and talked a bit to someone I haven't talked to for more than a few minutes in... probably half the quarter. Ran back to the dorm to eat and grab some books for the Darwin class, found the internet trying to distract me (I now know that I am apparently greater than sliced bread and AIDS-less prostitutes, though whether I'm better than prostitutes with other STDs is not a question I will be asking). I thought this was as strange as my day would get. Then I went to class...
On the way to class, I discovered that the quads were full of firetrucks. (It was a very obvious observation.) Like, eight of them. So... I went to class, and people were all trying to figure out what happened, and someone said there was a gas leak in Kent. I think eight firetrucks is a bit much for a gas leak... Eight fire trucks, where I'm from, is like two entire fire departments. I still don't know if there was really a gas leak in Kent, but I'd like everyone to take a moment now to guess what new and exciting thing is happening on the UofC campus...
Go on, guess. We've already had armed muggers. And racism.
ARSON!!
Apparently there was a "series of small but apparently intentional fires set around campus." Well! Life just gets more and more interesting here at the University of Chicago, doesn't it? Just... wow. I think the world has gone nuts. I much preferred first year, when the biggest thing going on around campus was the filming of Proof. That's much cooler than fires. Well, arson-type fires, at least. Wtf. Just... wtf.
I think I'll put my bets on a plague of frogs next, though it's getting a little cold for them.
[Edit: Hmm... apparently there was a fire Monday, too. What the heck is up with this university lately?]
