my ride back was fantastic. you heard me. well, it wasn't that great. actually, i thought it would be certain death, but i made it back okay. when we got here it was snowing. it's the ugly kind of snow. it looks pretty when it's falling, but it's not covering everything and there are ugly bare patches in some places.
anyway, let me tell you about this nerd on my bus. he sat in front and across from me. he looked the part of a partial nerd, you know, with the briefcase, unkept hair, large glasses. but i didn't think he was a total geek yet. after a couple of hours into our trip i began to hear remnants of classical music. i look overhead to see if maybe there were radio speakers leaking this music. there were none. my eyes scanned the bus and landed on the nerd who was wearing headphones. no way, i thought, it wasn't coming from the nerd -- was it? i then caught myself analyzing such a stupid thing and so i stopped. but, later, i noticed the nerd rummaging through his bag. i snuck a peek and to prove my convictions i saw a box with MOZART written on it, and several paper sleeves inside each containing a cd. there was also a Vivaldi cd case. i diverted my eyes before i saw anymore. i couldn't belive this guy was blasting the classical on the bus. it was too much for me. so i feel asleep.
later when i woke up, i checked back in on the nerds progress. he was reading a weird big red book. so i tried to spy in on what he was reading. it was in the form of a text book, but not one you'd have for college. it was thin, and looked old and weathered with a sort of material covering. i couldn't make out what it was supposed to be teaching, but it had a lot of greek lettering and something to do with math and probability or something like that. definitely nerd reading material if you ask me.
come to think of it. so is oracle at delphi... hmm...
