So, Friday morning is when I'll get my cell phone. I tried to fight it but didn't work. The plan I'll get sounds sucky: free calling to all cingular customers, after 9pm free nighttime and weekend calls, share minutes with my sister and grandparents and anyone who calls me during day time who isn't cingular- I get charged big time. Most everyone I know is cingular so that's cool. But you non-cingular people, I'll have to wait until 9 to talk to you. The phone is pretty cool. I can buy cool ringtones. So, I'm already trying to find ringtones for everyone I know.
Today in my Western Civ. II class we were talking about the new seatbelt law that goes into effect after memorial day (i think). Apparently, you can get stopped just for not wearing a seatbelt. Me and my professor agree that this is a violation of our rights and will only lead to further violations. The whole class seemed to agree except for one person...a older female student. Everyone has had someone like this in at least one class. Their older non-traditional students who purposely act as if they're going to ask a question and make a statement instead. Or they try to make a point that is irrelevant to the topic currently being discussed. Anyway, she thought this law was good. She went on to ask our teacher what would happen if he was killed in a car accident because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. How would all his debt or funeral arrangements be made.
At this point, me and the guy next to me (a mormon of all people) were rolling our eyes and mouthing "what the fuck does that have to do with whether or not the gov. has a say so about your right to choose to wear/not wear a seatbelt? It's called auto and life insurance".
She kept repeating the same babble like it was going to sound brilliant each time she said it. Finally, the teacher rolled his eyes, looked upward and under his breath said, "what fresh hell is this?". The woman gave a confused look while the rest of us laughed uncontrollably.
