A Day on College Hill

There's too much to write. Oh, way too much.

I remember when I got on the train I was with Chaz and Sara and Nupur. We were all really excited, and we got seats together and went around talking to people. Shook a lot of hands. Chaz was elected mayor of the Brown train. I remember I talked to a really nice black girl from Delaware about working at Cold Stone, and taking a couple trips to the snack car. And this was when I ran into Jenny, the girl who lives next to Stephen Colbert. And a kid from a school right near me whose name I forget. It was a very pretty train ride but very long. This was the day that I learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube. Everyone knew me as the Rubik's Cube kid.

Oh, I didn't make the Bear Necessities but that's okay. Kayla, the songwriter next door, got a callback for Higher Keys!

Anyway, when we got off the train, we had to wait around for busses. I remember I got some candy bar 'cuz I was hungry, and there was the Derbyshires a cappella group and they song Army by Ben Folds Five.

We gave up on waiting for the buses and followed Chaz to the Brown campus. We waited in a long line at Faucen House to check in, then were put in groups. This is when I was taken to Perkins, the cult-like dorm very far from the rest of campus but close to the music building that nobody wants to go in.

The people in Perkins often buy shirts from the Perkins shipping company.

Anyway, I went to the Ratty then with a Mormon kid. He had a bum leg and as he was walking, I made a joke about something and he turned that into a joke that he did that night at Stand Up Comendy. I thought that was pretty interesting...

I remember I went to a Comedy show that night, both improv and stand-up. There was an asian christian girl who had some good jokes like, "Free Tibet! ...am I paying for it?" And a guy who did one liners like "Girls hate the word moist. But love the feeling."

Then there was improv, and they were really good. There was one guy of race I couldn't determine who was VERY funny. He was "Milk" in guess-what-I-am, and he drew utters on the chalkboard and "came out" of them. Another guy was a cloud, and kept making puns like, "No, I'm cirrus Imeanserious!"

After that, I forget what happened, but Nupur and I ended up at the Gate, which is at the very N end of campus (Perkins is at the S end). It was very late, and raining all day and we had been running around and tired and were delirious. There were mirrors all over The Gate, and I remember being very confused by them.

At 2AM, I decided it was time to go home. I didn't know where to go, though, but I wanted to get there quickly. I had a map. It took me a bit, but I found I was running in the wrong direction. I ended up running in the right direction, but it took me about half an hour to get back, and I needed someone to let me in... which sucked. It was cold and windy... I got a cold sore that day, and I got sick.

I forget what happened the rest of the way. I went to a biology class with a nice professor who knew everyone's name. And some class about global warming taught by a woman who wasn't very interesting. I went home on the train... I was tired. I didn't talk much. I worked on Rubik's Cubes. A girl asked me how fast I could do it, and she could do it faster... but I'd only been doing it a day.

Anyway, the main thing I remember is The Gate and the run home. It was sad...

Peace out!
