It was 7:30am. I was walking down a little known path in Cornell's Plantations. I happened upon a young buck eating some of the tender grasses that haven't been withered by the autumn cold. At first I was shocked at the sight of such a majestic animal directly in front of me. He made no move to run or get away from me. Looking at him from a short distance away, I started toward him. As I moved closer, he was more and more uncomfortable and made a move to lunge toward me. With that I stopped and said, "Beast of the wood, feel no alarm. For I am only a mere spectator awed by your presence." He took a step forward and then crapped. A moment later, he disappeared into the thick, ropey forest.
As I continued on the treck to my building I noticed a couple of women running down the lane above me. One of them reach up and blew a snot rocket which landed near me. I simply said "Unlady like!" Apparently I wasn't visible to either of them because they started asking each other who had said that. As they got farther away, I could only hear the trailings off of their conjectures. One woman was sure that it must have been someone watching from a window and was completely embarrassed.
As I thought about the two events that had just taken place, I realized that it seemed that the bodily fluids of other creatures are out to get me. This became ever so much more apparent when I was standing outside waiting to get into a lecture and noticed that as people breathed in and out that I could see their vapor in the cold air. During warmer months, you never think that you are breathing some dude's vapor in next to you, but in winter-you can see it!
I watched what seemed to me billows of vapor as I saw multitudes of people coughing and laughing and talking in the cold air. Needless to say I left the line and skipped the lecture. Enough bodily fluids had been excreted towards me for the day.
