Yockeyite Banter, Part Two

S: Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
H: I believe in hormones...

While at a friend's in-laws' house preparing for a wedding...
A: It's all fun and games until you get cat hair in your scruff.

After playing  Oregon Trail for the first time, Husband Man's Finnish brother-in-law fell asleep on the couch. As his wife led him downstairs to sleep on the bed...
FBil: I think I dreamed of dysentary.

Husband Man's Dad: We grew, and harvested, a lemon. In South Dakota. In December. ...I love global warming.

Texting my sister while I was recovering from the flu and bronchitis:
Meems: What's your temp?
Me: I dunno. I haven't taken it because I haven't felt it was off
Meems: Take it
Me: 97.9
Meems: You have cancer
Me: That's funny. The symptom checker said I had the Bubonic plague
Meems: Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sunday afternoon sitting...
S: What song is this? Handel?
A: I dunno... Wait, that's Pachabel's "Canon"! How could you forget that??
S: I didn't recognise it right away, it was more upbeat than I'm used to...
A: ....You're complaining that someone finally chose to play that song faster than a death march tempo??
S: NO! I was just saying.......

A: (ankle pops) Ow....
S: No hurting yourself!
A: I can't always choose if my ankle pops...
S: No purposely hurting yourself, like a masochist.
A: Well, I guess getting myself pregnant wasn't the best choice, then.
S & D: ................
A: Sorry, should I have not said that? ....See, I can still shock my husband with what comes out of my mouth....
S & D: (laughs)

The Last Semester

At the beginning of the semester, on my way to my first class ever in the Clark, I learned where the Kimball was. (It's on the opposite end of campus from where I thought it was...)

A week before school ends I finally stepped foot in the Spori for the first time. (The entire trip lasted about thirty seconds, and I saw about a quarter of the first floor.)

The beginning of the last week of classes/finals, I lost my icard. (I didn't realise I'd lost it until four days later.)

The penultimate day of the semester I learned where the Austin building was. (For that matter, I think I discovered where the Benson was, since I passed it going into the Austin.) I also accidentally wore flipflops on campus, and purposely parked in the parking lot despite not having a permit. Donuts have been the major food consumed throughout the day.

For the first time in our undergraduate career I had next to nothing to do during finals week, while Husband Man had a TON to do. (Normally it's the other way around.)

36 hours from now we will both be graduated from college.

We're feeling pretty awesome.
(That's a lie--Husband Man wants to strangle one of his teachers. But other than that...)
