Quick post because I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have this week...
Friday I was trying to calculate if I'd save enough money by switching to the employee health insurance to make it worth it since I'll have to switch back to the school insurance in 8 months anyway (as an aside, I'm going to save over $1,500 in just the 8 months, sooo worth it). I needed to know how much I spent on the school insurance but of course part of the Jefferson website was down (not at all uncommon); I realized I was actually in the same building as the financial aid office so I ran downstairs. I was wearing a pair of my dress shoes that I just got back from the cobbler (he did an amazing job repairing every little thing that was wrong with my old shoes, so I love him even though he was MIA last Friday). I was walking through the basement which has tiled floors and the loudest echo anywhere in the world; Glen has been embarrassed just to walk next to me in dress shoes down there. I was approaching the ancient lecture hall down there, remembering last year how Glen and I for the first time ever had overslept our alarm on a test day and walked in late. There weren't any seats left so the proctor stopped the exam and made people get up and rearrange themselves so we'd have someplace to sit (with an empty seat on either side). I was horrifyingly embarrassed for disrupting the entire test. Luckily for me and Glen, that was the very same test where a mysterious pipe broke at the very back of that steep lecture hall and some sort of black liquid came pouring out over the top of a doorframe and down at us, causing everyone to grab their tests, stand on chairs, and run for their lives (no one remembers that Glen and I made everyone stop at the beginning). I was thinking this just as I passed the first door to the hall and trying to remember its funny name -- Herbut!
As I remembered it, I flashed back to that very morning, about an hour earlier, when I bumped into Chris on the corner who explained to me that he had thought he had his shelf exam in Bluemle, but when he got there he found out he was actually assigned to Herbut so he was running over there. I had this realization just as I was in front of the second door to the lecture hall and I looked up and there were 100 of my classmates taking a very important test, half of them looking up at me clip-clopping loudly by their room. UGH. I felt sooo bad.
On the way back I had to walk by again, so this time I took off my shoes and walked by in my stockings, only to discover they had closed all the doors to not be disturbed twice.
My apologies to all of the Herbut kids x2.
