Random Thoughts

1) During a commuter rush, escalators are not for people who are too lazy to walk up the stairs, they are simply for getting up a level faster. Standing on an escalator at 8 a.m. and waiting for it to deliver you to the top is not acceptable. You will inevitably receive a few elbows to your ribcage. These will not be accidents.

2) This morning, the PATH smelled like raw chicken, the entire way through (a couple of kilometers.) Either there's some sort of underground butcher shop going on down there, or I am having a stroke.

3) 9 a.m. classes are the worst.

4) The next person who blares their iPod on my morning train is getting the stink eye until they understand their error. I don't want to listen to the muffled sounds of K-fed while you continue to rupture your eardrums.

5) There are certain foods that shouldn't be eaten before noon and, apparently, a smooshed ham sandwich is one of them. I feel nauseous, and I don't think it's due to my 19h Century English class.

6) My English TA already gives the impression of a pretentious bore. He uses the word "shall." No one interesting, save 15th century poets, ever uses the word shall. He's either a smartipants or he wants us to think he's a smartipants. Either way, I remain unimpressed.
