Around my college, there is often mulch just chillin in mounds waiting to be spread out on the ground. I don't know what the exact purpose of mulch is, but apparently my college needs it. It's more often in mounds than spread out, and it has this godawful smell when it's wet, but otehrwise it's just another familiar instillation at merrill. Anyway, when I was walking back to the apartment after lunch, I saw this hunched figure with a hood scooping mulch by the handfulls into a black garbage bag. I just thought it was a groundskeeper going about groundskeeping business, but then the hunch greets me with a "hey you" in a familiar voice. I realized it was my RA, and he told me he needs mulch for an art project. He didn't know if mulch stealing is illegal, so he just ran out there with his hood on so that he could quickly grab his mulch and escape.
Now, this story has no point other than I think it's funny, but I will add in that there has been a rash of odd thefts, including (well maybe this is the only other instance) theft of some toothpaste, namely my toothpaste. I think the culprit in that indcident is Laurel, which is fine. She needed it for her walk, and all I have to do is borrow some from Jessica. I would have let her borrow my toothpaste anyway. But, if it was her, she just took it without leaving a note or asking me. It was just gone saturday morning with no explanation. I'm not mad, I just think it's funny, because that makes my toohtpaste stolen and it makes her the main suspect on my list. Everytime I go to brush my teeth, my toothbrush is all alone and I chuckle to myself about my stolen toothpaste. I hope it is Laurel, because that means a) i'll get it back today and b) i can laugh at it, and not be angry that someone broke into our apartment in the middle of the night for the sole reason of stealing my colgate (okay. maybe I could laugh at that too.)
well, anyway, 5 more days.
