Sidewalk Rage

I am glowing as I bounce off the walls: School's back in!

Not only is Psycho a student once again, but I am officially registered for the courses I was wait listed for, my loan paid for books and my transportation solution, and I might even get a tad back once the funds are disbursed. %D I am way too happy right now.

The only thing that bugged me on this, my earliest out of class day, is all those people who like to walk like they have nowhere to go. Maybe you're out of class for a few hours, or maybe it's your last class of the day; hell it might be your last class of the week, but some of us need to get to class, so kindly move your ass and let me pass!

This is a pet peeve of mine, and I've found a tie-in to last Fall: flip flops. It seems that flip flops, aside from mysteriously continuing to be popular footwear, are a sure indicator of ambulatory velocity, or rather, lack thereof. I mean, it's not like you can hurry in those things even if you want to. Not that there aren't plenty of slow people in sneakers, and I won't even get into the girls that wear four inch stilettos around campus. Damn it people, you're paying for these classes, "slow and steady" will not get you there on time!
They got into college, you'd think they could figure that out.

And I don't mean to rag on anyone with mobility issues, I understand that sometimes a slow pace can't be helped. All I ask is that if you fall into that category, be aware of your surroundings and have the courtesy to walk as far to the right as possible so that stressed-out-looking, crazy girl muttering under her breath can whoosh past you without incident.

I just want to get to class, damn it!
