Campus Life Part 2....

Sights I see on campus #2:

Monday, outside Cobb I was waiting for my first exam to begin. I hear a rustling in the bushes. I look behind, and a white cat is living behind the bushes. Every Tuesday and Thursday this semester, Natalie and I would sit in front of Cobb between 9:30 and 11:00 classes. Never did we see this creature.

Tonight, about 11:15pm I park my car in front of McComas and begin to walk to the library. Out from the bushes jumps a small kitten with a white belly and a black back. At first I thought it was Toonces #2.5, but it didn't attack me so there was no family traits. I watched as it scampered across the parking lot. I saw a guy walking near it, watching him to see if he would notice the critter bolting past. He did not I suppose.

Not 1 minute later I'm walking by Hand Lab. By the sign and bike rack, I see what from behind looks like a large rat or some kind of rodent. From the front, I appears to be more of an o'possum. What was this magical creature, and why was it here?

Not 2 minutes after that, I've reached the Library and look out over the Drill Field at the newly erected new flagpole. There are four bright lights shining up at the large flag and big gold ball on top of the pole. Now, there is some type of winged animal flying and swooping into the light. The movements make it appear to be a winged mammal, such as a bat. Yes, a bat on the drill field.

Not 7 minutes before all of this, I was driving down the street behind the Library, and saw two shirtless dudes with black shorts behind one of the buildings. They were rather slim, but had other qualities of sasquatch. Who were these mysterious men?

Not 10 minutes after the others, I saw an Asian dude.


Not 20 minutes before any of this, I saw a white cat drinking from a puddle in the street. Most likely runoff from a sprinkler system. (it's very possible this was the same white cat in front of Cobb 3 days prior.)





I feel safe on campus. I love critters.


***almost every byte of this was true. actually, all of it was.
