Homeless ladies and burgers

Oct 10, 2006 22:13

Apparently, it is a 5 subject type of thing with 2 hours alloted to each subject.
I came in at 1:30 and i was supposed to have a time limit on my first test (science) by 3:30. Somehow, despite the bubble testing, the erasable pen which never really worked, my obsessive compulsions with the filling in of the bubbles, mr. sneezy sniffly man behind me, and the asian teaching assistant with strange veiny cankles, I was able to complete 50 questions of science, 50 questions of Social Studies, and the entire 40 question reading portion... before 3:30.

Great.

This leaves me with an hour to just hang around and chill at the willow house, who thankfully got a new keyboard on their public computer. Sure, I am grateful, but if only the brand new black keyboard could compensate for how devastatingly slow this computer is anyway... but at least now i can type quickly and comfortably.

I was at burger king between school and g.e.d. testing today and i saw the most bizzare person ever.

It was this lady, she looked about 19 or so, and i assume she was homeless from the clothes and the tattered napsack... But she looked like she had very very severe sun poisening / the most horrific sunburn i have ever seen. Her face and arms were bloated and puffy, or so it seemed, and were bright pink. I was sitting outside enjoying my fat cholesterol burger with a surving of cocaine-coke... when she walked outside and started shouting in a tone you use when addressing a dog who just took a shit on your prom dress. She screamed,
"TURN ME AROUND NOW!"
not "Turn me around, now" or "turn me around, NOW" but one giant slew of anger and dissappointment. There were a few cars in the parking lot when this happened, so i assumed she was talking to someone.. but as everyone but me left, she was screaming at nobody.

I was a little scared, i must say, so i got in my car and started to leave. I backed up and saw her standing right behind my car in the side-view mirror. She screamed "TURN ME AROUND NOW" again and walked away. As i was pulling away, she yelled it at this business man with a pink shirt and a blue tie, eating his garden salad while walking back to work. He looked at her and started walking faster.

What did she want?
Ah!

Anyway,
other than my disbelief that public schooling was so pointless today, i am in a fairly good mood with the educational system, society, humanity, and burger king. As i told kerry once, the 3rd burger always tastes the best...
Until the homeless lady screams.
