cosmolinguistI've already written about one silly thing Michele did tonight but I can't resist recounting what just happened.
In the calm darkness of Jenn dozing off and me trying to quietly finish instant messaging, Michele came to our door and whispered, "I learned more today from staying home than I would from going to class."
(Michele doesn't have class on Mondays. Or Fridays. For this I am entitled to hate her. I saw her today after my last class was over and I was starting my errands. "Good morning, Holly," she said pleasantly as we passed in a hallway going opposite directions. "It's two in the afternoon!" I exclaimed, then remembering Michele's enviable schedule. "I know," she said, "I just woke up!" Though relatively far away by this point, I still yelled back, "I hate you, you know!")
She continued, "I learned that you don't need a college education..." I smiled at that, a recurring theme of this successful slacker who's just started her last semester of college, which is full of easy classes.
"Because all you need to know, you can learn from the History Channel." That made me smile; I wasn't expecting it. Plus, I love the History Channel. It's practically the only thing I watch.
"I learned," she said, "that we won D-Day..."
Here I tried not to laugh, but Jenn sounded like she woke up and rolled over. "What?" she asked faintly. Michele said, "And the invasion of Normandy at Omaha Beach? Yeah, that was D-Day."
Then I did giggle--quietly!--and Jenn said, "Oh. Go to sleep!" That, I presume, is what she did. And what I'm about to do.
