Certainties of College

So if you are unaware of this, there are certain things that will always happen at college when conditions are met. Very rarely are they pleasant. I have compilied a list of things that happen when circumstances meet the need:

1)Rain- When ever I have my laptop in my backpack, am wearing a suit, or fail to have my rain jacket, there will be a downpour. This is a guarantee! No matter how much I try to carry my rain jacket or not my laptop, it will rain! Point of interest: If the forecast is a 90% chance of rain and I prepare, it will not rain. What's up wit dat?

2)Library- This is a major place of certainties! For example, whenever I have to work a late shift and remember to bring a book or something, they will have me shelving. Vice versa, if I forget to bring something, they will have me sitting at a desk. Forever and always. Also, whenever I'm shelving, if the books are crammed in really tight in the general area I'm shelving, then where I am supposed to place my current book will be on the top shelf where I can't reach. Talk about a pain!

3)Sleep- Whenever I actually can go to bed early, as in I'm back on time and have nothing to do that night and nothing is due the next day, I will never be able to sleep that night. Also the next day I will pass out in a class. Forever and always. Example: Sunday night I will have nothing important due on Monday. I will go to bed early. I will lay there most of the night wide awake. The next day I will fall asleep in Chinese.

4)Studying- whenever I study ahead, i.e. several days before a test, I will completely understand it the night before. However when that test gets in front of me I will draw a blank. Every time. You can sit there and quiz me the night before on every character I have ever seen in Chinese and I will answer perfectly! But as soon as that test gets in front of me, stick a fork in me cause I'm done!

5)Luckyday- Will always be my biggest tormenter and worst class. Yes, they will always give me needless requirements and pointless assignments to complete at the busiest times of my life. An essay for them will always be due the same day as my essay for a class that actually matters. And the Luckyday essay will always be more difficult!

6)Books- If I am ever behind on getting a book, let's say for Honors 101, and we are supposedly going to be on it for a month, I will skip class to go and purchase the book. As soon as I go to the next class with it I will be informed that this is the last day we are using it. Case in point: Working by Studs Terkel. O such fun!

There are more certainties, but this is really all I care to post about on here. Go figure. I hope maybe these certainties have helped you, they haven't helped me too much. If you have any of your own, go ahead and tell me!

Holla,
Max
