UC BASKETBALL TICKETS

++ I STOOD IN line today for 3.5 hours just so i can get some basketball tickets. and while i know i'm not a hardcore fan and probably, no mostly, a fair weather fan, but becoming less so and more so a bearcat fan in general, i know i will never be hardcore enough to camp out for tickets. they tell me that the people who were first in line went and started camping out the night of the xavier game. the xavier game was on tuesday. holy crap thats a long time. another friend i saw said he got there last night at 5.45pm to camp out. tickets don't even start to get passed out until 9 in the morning. 3.5 hours! i don't do anything for 3.5 hours. i can't even sit down and do 3.5 hours of schoolwork without a break. same when i'm at work. you know, actually i got there at 8.30 in the morning. forget abour doing anything for 3.5 hours. i don't ever get up that early. although maybe i should.

mentor class today was a walking tour of campus. overheard from the freshman while walking:
"you know if we didn't have ugly buildings, then we wouldn't be able to appreciate the pretty ones."
"i don't like this space. can we tear it down?"
"those lights are $40,000 each! who designs these things?" "architects."
"so a place is always a space, but a space is only sometimes a place?"
"how much further do we have to walk?" "one step further than you want to walk."

this is a weak post. bah. double bah. ++
