Don't worry - I'm okay. I know I forgot to post something yesterday and that all of you were in dire need of an update, but other commitments beckoned. I'll provide you with a few highlights of the past two days and other things that I thought about.
Coin-flipping Champion - In a tournament of sixty-four students, I came out victorious in the lost art of flipping a coin. Do NFL teams sign coin-specialist? If so, get me my agent. My professor in my Human Evolution lecture was trying to demonstrate natural selection by using the ability to predict heads or tails as a trait - or something like that, I don't really know. The point is that I can claim the crown and there are 250 students who witnessed it. Tails never fails, baby!
Shelby-ville Invasion - After never having met someone with the name "Shelby" in my twenty years of existence, I have met four since the beginning of the semester. Am I alone in considering that name to be unique or is it more common than I realized? Is it short for something? On the plus side though, they've all been girls so at least I'm talking to females long enough to learn their name.
No Fall at All - Minnesota's most recognized commodity, the cold, is so popular that locals decided to skip an entire season in order to get it. It suddenly went from shorts and t-shirts in 80 degree weather to scrambling for mittens and long underwear in temperatures that were half that in the span of two days- and it's not even October yet! I have no idea why this state is in such a rush to get to winter, but it looks like it's here to stay with no signs of warmer weather in the next week.
Hogging All the Money - A random thought: what zoological considerations were taken into account when creating the piggy bank? It just seems like a interesting animal to pick to safeguard your hard-earned riches. Although, the threat of swine flu might protect your coinage from petty, hypochondriac thieves.
That's all I got.
