What a RUSH!

There I was. Fourth in line in the turning lane after my late movie*. No one was around, and this whole light changing business was taking a while. The first guy must have been here a while before me. Then, all of a sudden, he goes for it! Turning left on a RED! What is happening?! Then a minute later, the second guy takes off....then, there goes number three. No cars have passed, and there is no sign of a green light coming. I look, first left, then right. I inch forward, look again. I take it! Oh man! What a thrill! A rush! I've been in that position many times, but never dared to go, but everyone else did. I guess that classifies me as a follower**. I look in my rear view mirror at the car who had just pulled up behind me before I left. It's still sitting there, still no sign of a green light appearing in the near future.

I've been in that position so many times, but never dared to go before. And I most likely wont anytime soon. But, oh, what a rush it was!

*I went to see Wolfman, which turned out to be (not unexpectedly) awful. Please don't waste 10 dollars on this movie.
**Yes, as many of my teachers have asked, if my friends were jumping off a bridge I most likely would follow them. Deal with it. That sounds like fun and you know it!

Sick.

I don't have much to say.

I am sick. Again. I think a cold I had 2 weeks ago came back yesterday when my immune system was down due to some other illness.

And, I'm back at Scott's (aka St.Vital Market). I was told by an employee of many years; " The only thing worse than working at Scott's for 10 years is leaving and coming back. " So thats good I suppose.

Other than that I am supposed to be working on a portfolio to submit to the U of M in April. But I haven't really started.

That is my life at the moment. Pathetic? Yes, even I agree on that.

Thanks for tuning in to the "Catch up on Becky's pathetic life" Show (blog).
