Another Day in the Life Of...

Another Thursday, another long night studying for the infamous Friday greek exam. Grabbing her laptop and books, Khristi heads to Starbucks. Uh Oh…it looks like it’s going to rain. Thinking it a brilliant idea, she grabs her blue shower cap, just incase. Ahhhh, just as she suspected, it began to rain. She puts her blue shower cap on her head. Realizing that it may look a little strange all by itself, she puts on her blue hoody, hoping they would blend. As she looked down one side of the street at two White girls walking, laughing and talking with their “wet can only make it better” hair and the other side of the street full of competent individuals who had umbrellas not caring what kind of hair they had, she realized that the blue shower cap may not have been the best idea. Walking faster hoping to get closer to the Starbucks to escape the humility, the humidity of the day, humidity under the shower cap, and the humidity accumulating in drops of sweat under her winter hoody, was making the situation not better, but worse. Poor Khristi finally gave in 5 minutes away from the store whipping off her shower cap liberating herself from her own foolishness in hopes that the light drizzle would only moist and not ruin her fresh doobie. Running into the Startbucks she’s finally safe as she can only wait out in expectation that there will be clear skies when she walks home. Intellectually progressing, yet comon sense regressing...another day in the life of Khristi Adams.
