Today was a "class optional" day for my English 250A.
It's my Literature of the U.S. class. It's pretty rad.
Anyway, my professor told us that if our group wanted to meet with her to discuss our projects,
she'd be in her office during the regular class time.
So my group went and some other random person from class showed up.
And it was really cool, because there were 6 students and our professor.
We were all sitting on the floor and we just talked for an hour, about our projects, about literature, about babies, about "Homies", about used books, and about Republicans.

Then, in my RWS class, my group was supposed to show up to conference with that professor about that project,
and I was the only one who showed up.
Go figure.
But that was still pretty awesome because my professor really likes me.
I'm thinking about making RWS my minor.

It was a pretty chill school day.
The campus was really empty.
There was no line at Peabody's.
I fell asleep in the sun on a bench.
AND I don't have to be at work for another hour and a half.

And my mom made tamales.
