Oddities of the day

Strange day today. And it's not even over yet.

Random occurrences:
  • I had two horrifying dreams. Since the beginning of the day, I've already forgotten one. The second one, however, had to do with my car plunging into a lake and me not being able to get out. Yikes. I rarely have nightmares, so it was odd that I had two in one night.
  • On the bus home today, this girl was on her phone and said, "Wait, so you ARE pregnant?!" [short pause] "GIRL I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE! YOU ARE SO CRAZY!!!" [ridiculous laughing] Like... I don't really know many girls my age that think it's hilarious that their good friend got pregnant. I may totally be misjudging the situation, but based off the rest of their discussion, said pregnant girl didn't exactly seem to be like... married and financially secure or anything. Very odd.
  • Also on the bus back to the parking lot where I park... someone got on the central radio and said something along the lines of, "I'm at Carmack 1... a woman came onto my bus and told me that she hit a man with her car and that he needs an ambulance." For those of you non-OSU-and-west-campus-parkers, there are like at least 4 carmacks in this GIANT parking lot I park in. The buses go to all carmacks during their route. And IMAGINE... I park at Carmack 1. So I'm secretly kind of excited to see the drama going on. Two ambulances FLYYYY by our bus about 2 minutes later. We got to Carmack 1 and had to be let out a little before where we usually are because of the ambulances and policemen blocking the drive. Which was fine, because then I got to walk by slowly and observe. I think the man was fine, because the ambulances weren't rushing off with their sirens blaring or anything. They just sat in the lot. I didn't see him at all. but I DID see the police talking to the woman who supposedly hit this guy. Oooo dangerous snowy parking lots. So yeah, everyone BE CAREFUL driving in parking lots. I don't know the end of the story, because I figured I probably shouldn't loiter during a police investigation.
I know there were other odd occurrences but whatevs. I forget them.

Other news:
I had my other two classes today, Fraud Examination and Managerial Negotiations. I think both classes will be decent and certainly relevant to me. Fraud Examination is taught by the same professor that taught my research class last quarter. Here's to hoping the class is INFINITELY more exciting than that one. I think it will be. How can fraud NOT be interesting? Plus we get to watch movies... always amazing. Granted, they'll be about accounting, but still.

And Managerial Negotiations is a class from the MLHR (Master of Labor and Human Resources) program that we're allowed to take. It's basically exactly what it sounds like.... learning how to negotiate and get what you want in various situations, whether it be salary disputes or how to do a union contract negotiation. I'm absolutely horrible at negotiations and confrontations in general, so I'm hoping to gain something from this class. It was so odd though... there are only MBA and MAcc students in the class, plus one lone MLHR girl. The MBAs sat on one side of the room, and the MAcc students sat on the other. Very representative of our feelings towards each other haha, although I don't think it was really intentional. I think we all just sat by people we knew, who all happen to be in our program.

Other other news:
I spoke with the property manager at my apartment complex about sex boy. They seem to be handling it completely well. They are very honest and very helpful. So let's hope he shuts up.
