Public Decency

On Thursday, I had the joy of watching a couple cling to each other while I was trying to muck my way through reading a rather boring section of my Natural Hazards book online. They were positioned so that I could only see the boy but the girl was sitting next to him. This also happened to be exactly inline with my computer screen; I just had to lift my eyes to witness the scene. Even worse, I didn't even have to look at them to know what they were doing sometimes. Occasionally, as I glared at the inconsiderate couple, the girl would look up at me and I would look away quickly. It was just too awkward. Here I am reading text that is hard to understand in my dense mind and these two are all over each other. (Okay, not exactly all over, but they weren't studying much. Enough to annoy but not enough to kick them out.) Finally, after an hour of this (not much homework was done), the girl I suppose had to go to class. It took about five minutes to say goodbye, and she clung to him like an ape to a banana or like there was no tomorrow. For heaven sakes! They probably see each other for 6+ hours at night. Heaven forbid that they should be apart for an hour or two. I almost barfed with this display. Some might say I'm jealous, I don't think so, but if I was, I know for a fact I would not be this sappy in public AND in a designated study area. Here's some advice, find some dark corner away from students gaining knowledge and "study" there with your significant other. By the way, you disgust me.
Oh and if you wanted to know, I passed all my classes last semester. Hallelujah! I may have scraped through Calculus (Bombed my final) and Mineralogy (just above average final), but I've come to realized that there has to be average people to make the special kids look good. I have a purpose in this world (this is not a pity statement). Have a great day!
