I’m sitting in the computer lab at DePaul University currently, attempting to kill some time between classes. The professor from my morning class decided to let the class out 40 minutes earlier, which to most is treat, but not for me. I have a hard time filling empty minutes while on campus, as I don’t enjoy hanging out by the school coffee bar, and the it’s far too cold to check out girls in the quad. In fact, there is a phenomenon at this school most men are familiar with, where hundreds of pretty birds (and I mean ladies), seem to disappear for winter quarter. Maybe they are migrating south, who knows. However, they do return triumphantly each spring, donning their tight white pants and tank tops. It’s really a celebration. That’s when you’ll find me creepily sitting on the quad grass, possibly with my video camera.

My school schedule is a bit heavier right now, because I am still trying to make up for the credits I lost when I accidentally enrolled in Chorus for a quarter. I figured the class would be a slam-dunk, which it was, and the credits earned reflected that-only one of four needed. Now, I have to take one more class each quarter until I graduate, which is a nagging reminder of my previous choral mistakes. But, don’t start thinking I’m taking anything too academic. My extra class this quarter is “First Aid and Emergency Response�, which in reality may be one of my most practical courses this quarter. The teacher is kind of hot too, so I’m hoping for a chance to demonstrate my keen abilities for opening up airways and chest compressions. Well, my friends, I must press on to “Police in Chicago�, which is as close as I can get to one of my favorite shows, ‘COPS’, while at school. That way when I’m engaging in another all day 'COPS' marathon, I can call it studying. Genius, I know.
