The Many Adventures of Toris and Remy
I had a really fun day today. Most of the weekend was a complete fiasco, but on Sunday, things started looking up. I was helping out with a Sunday School class for Pre-schoolers- yes, I know, I’m a complete goody-two-shoes sometimes- But I got to play with play-dough (And thoroughly impress a bunch of four-year-olds with my snail-making skills) eat Animal Cookies, listen to a story and color. Now tell me that doesn’t sound like good fun.
And the week’s only been looking up from there.
This afternoon, I was hanging around the Campus with Toris, and we found this balcony on one of the buildings, and it was a beautiful, sunny day, so we decided to just go wherever the balcony led. Turns out, if you follow it around a few corners, it leads to this fantastic view of the duck pond. So, we’re college students, and we do things on a whim; it’s a reoccurring theme throughout this story. Lo and behold, we wound up heading on over to chill with the ducks. (And the geese and the seagulls).
They’re not exactly house-pets, though, so they waddle away or fly to the water if you get too close. Unless, of course, you have food. And, because luck has been with me this week, I had half of one of those mini cereal boxes in my backpack. So we spent quite some time feeding Trix to the a few Mallards, one little white goose that came over, and a pack of obnoxious seagulls. Pretty soon we ran out of Trix, but then it occurred to us: We have money, we have a car, and we have no reason not to. So we headed to the store, bought a huge bag of really cheap cereal, came back, and spent the whole afternoon and well into the evening in the company of various waterfowl.
(There’s still a lot of cereal in the back of my car, if anyone feels like feeding the ducks any time soon.)
Ooc: This totally would have been my afternoon with Mae if the stupid car thing hadn't gotten in the way. Dumb scratched bumper, ruining our fun. Sorry, Maemae.
