Surreal

Yesterday evening I was sitting in my classroom waiting for freshman orientation to start.  Just prior I had gone to OSH to get some ‘S’ hooks to hang a map, then crossed the parking lot to get some super nachos with steak from Baja Fresh.  It was raining a little and the sky was threatening to rain some more.  As I sat in my room contemplating the price of my nachos vs. the soggy chips, I was half listening to the news and a quarter trying to ignore the baseball game outside my window (the other quarter was contemplaiting the chips).

“…the death toll has reached………….”

I was snapped into the moment.  Who am I to complain about my soggy nachos, and resent having to be at school for freshman orientation?
