An Interesting Day

I'm sitting in a computer lab listening to Duke Ellington for my Jazz in American Culture class and pausing from working on a lab report for Microbiology on biofilms--hence why I am pausing. Now, if you new my class schedule, you would be saying, "But Travis, shouldn't you be in Microbiology right now?" Well, that is why I figure that I will take some time to talk about the interesting day I've had so far and it's barely even noon.

It all started this morning at home at 9:00. Again, if you new my class schedule, you would be saying, "But Travis, shouldn't you be in Physics right now?" I had decided to skip Physics because my regular professor was not going to be there, and I didn't feel like trying to listen to some new guy that would do things differently anyway. By the time 10:25 came along, I had gotten out of the shower, had gotten dressed, and had packed my backpack. Micro didn't start until 11:10, so I decided to get online and update the Word of the Day section of my blog and to also email my biofilm lab report to myself so that I could work on it on campus. I got offline, went out to my car, and left for campus. It was 10:37. I thought, "I'm doing just fine. I'll be on time." I drove about a mile down the road and realized that when I got online I forgot (which is a common action I perform) to email myself the lab report. I had to turn around and rush home to email it to myself. When I left the house the second time, it was 10:46. I thought, "OK. I can still make it." So, I headed for campus again. I was about 3/4 (or closer) of the way to campus when what should stop traffic at 10:57? A TRAIN! A train on barely used tracks that has never stopped me there before! I was broken. I thought, "MAN! I was gonna make it." Was this a fast moving train? Nope. SSSSSSSSSSSllllllllooooooowwwwwllllllyyyyyy, the train passed. I was doomed not to make it. As I got to campus, class had already started. I didn't make it. So, I just parked my car and decided to head to the computer lab, work on my lab report, and wait for Jazz. 1 out of 3 classes today....not exactly a good average.
