I haven't been away from Wartburg but a few days, and already I'm forgetting everything I've learned....nooo not academically....socially. Today is April 20th, a sort of holiday for some folks, such as two of my roommates...and their friends....and their friends....and my friends....but not me. Which reminds me of a funny story about people who think they know what's up, but really have no clue. In our common room of our suite, there is a long homemade poster colored with highlighters, written in psychadelic letters, exclaiming: IT'S ALWAYS 2:09! This is in reference to a period of about 3 days where my roommates and their former roommates (like the guy who used to live in my spot) came back to their room at a late hour and looked at the microwave clock and it said 2:09....and then the next night they came back at about the same time and it said 2:09....by the third night (yes, their was alcohol involved) they were like "It's always 2:09!!!" Only to realize that it was 2:09 even at noon....yes, someone had stopped cooking their food with 2 minutes and 9 seconds remaining...and then hadn't cleared it out. So anyway, that was way back at the beginning of the first semester, and this story that I'm a part of takes place in mid-second semester. Another thing you should know about our particular suite, is that it's rather famous around campus....uh.....agriculturally speaking. For reasons that you can guess, but other reasons too.....but that's none of your business. So two girls that I know visited me and we were sitting around talking about stuff, (it was a friday night and they were going to go play pictionary, while I was waiting for my beer to arrive.....get the picture?) when one of them was like....
"oh! 2:09! That's the pot smoking time!"
Silence.
Me: "uhhh......noooooo.....hehehehehehe.....nooooo"
Her: "Oh yea...hahahah, I meant 4:09"
I start snickering
Me: "Umm....I think you mean 4:20?!"
Her: "Oh yea, uh...that's what I meant."
Wowzas.....that was incredibly funny....and showed how incredibly niave she was. ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS!!!?! How is that even possible? I have no idea.
