All I really needed was the first five minutes of Doctor Who 5.06 (The Vampires of Venice) to make me irrationally happy. But the bottle of prosecco, that also didn't hurt.
DW definitely improved the situation :-) And the school dean left a message on Friday saying she had a back-up plan, so I don't know, *maybe* something can be salvaged (though I'm not counting on that).
Something about college screwing you over makes you a magnet for crazy people.
Have I told you about the guy that's assigned the seat next to me in my Ethics lecture? He wallows in his seat just like a Cocker Spaniel is wont to wallow in the grass when you take it out to make boom-boom.
That sounds like an unpleasant experience. I don't think she was rude, though, it's sounds very much like Tourette's (vocal & motor tic disorder) - she probably felt an urge coming on and moved into the middle in the street in the hope to pass you befor the tic came out. Either that, or she thinks she is a dog:)
It's hard to say...I don't feel qualified to diagnose her affliction based on passing her twice on the sidewalk. Was just very surreal and unusual (neighborhood is self-contained because my street is a loop, so it's slightly rare to see people I don't know, much less people I don't know who bark at me).
I am really behind on things, but I was grumpy on your behalf, reading about the grad school class. And then I almost forgot to be grumpy at all when I hit the story about the barking lady--my walks are so boring in comparison now!
Thanks for the sympathetic grumpiness :-) I'm still quite irked, but at least well past the "furious" stage. Really, my puppy walks are totally boring 99.9% of the time...though Scout disagrees strongly and would like to say for the record that they are AWESOME in all seasons and all types of weather (and if a little constructive criticism is allowed, she would also like to put in a plug for them being longer).
(yes, I make up imaginary LJ comment dialogues with my dog...it's come to that ;-))
