Unexpected finds

Unexpected find #1: a B on my last neuro midterm. I finally checked my grade, one day AFTER my final exam. I figured that if I did badly on it, anxiety about it would impede my studying. And if I did well on the midterm, then I didn't need to rest on my laurels. As it turned out, I studied all the wrong things for the final. And by wrong, I mean all the Main Fucking Concepts of the Chapters in the Text. The fucker didn't test on those concepts, no sir. I of course passed it, and am in no way in danger of a D in the course, which creates all kinds of problems for you. Because you flunk. My coursework is officially complete! The only things that stand in the way of me and a doctorate are my dissertation and my internship.

Unexpected find #2: on my way out of the gym, which has incidentally become my new boyfriend (we spend our evenings together, I always feel good about myself, endorphins firing, etc, etc), I spotted an empty box of Lifestyles condoms, right beside my car. That wasn't even the most intriguing part (remember: I am enrolled at a Southern Baptist university). The part that had me snickering, was that the box boasted "Snugger Fit." I have never in my life seen that option before on a package of condoms, and am definitely going to look the next time I'm at Target, or a grocery store or something. I have visions of frisky, White, Christian, Baylor men with small penises thanking God (and the condom companies) for including them in their marketing demographics.
