fools

I know it's April Fools' Day but I've had the most bizarre day ever...

When I woke up and left the house, I was wearing my raincoat and boots because it was raining. By the time I got to campus, it was snowing. Probably it was technically sleet, but it was fluffy. But wtf, it's April.

I forgot to mention that when I woke up this morning I had to recover from a dream that Anthony Bourdain died. In a hurricane. I was incredibly depressed for the first 10 mins of the day until I gained full consciousness.

I was late to school, and couldn't find my Spanish class. I was in the right building at the right time, but wasn't sure which room. I listened through a few doors before giving up (I was, by that point, at least 20 mins late anyway). Felt dumb for the next hour and a half.

Went to lunch and tried to read the school paper, which was, of course, the joke edition. I knew it was the joke edition but the stories still kind of weirded me out because I would glance down and forget for a second. At one point I looked up and out the window, just in time to see a FedEx truck drive by on a flat tire. If a bird had flown by upside-down, it would have been one of those What's Wrong Here? puzzles in a Highlights magazine.

Walking to work, I was behind a crowd of people, and almost tripped over two ducks standing in the middle of the sidewalk. There were two, just standing there, in the rain, making people walk around them. Pretty cute, actually. Just bi-zarre. We usually have a bunch of ducks and seagulls on campus since we're close to the lake and we have a huge fountain. This particular sidewalk was nowhere near either of these two locations.

During work I got frustrated waiting on a reply from a professor, so I went upstairs to knock on his office door. When he answered it, he was wearing full cycling gear, since he rides his bike to work and was on his way out. Helmet, tight pants, day-glo jacket. All in all, not too weird, he just looked funny. :D

On the way home, Seth called to tell me he accidentally ate cashews and had a huge allergic reaction. I felt really bad for him (he's better now), but I was like, of course, this happened today.. haha.

So, um, I'm pretty glad no one majorly pranked me (yet). Today was already pretty twilight zone-y.
