I was walking along the sidewalk, minding my own business. walking quickly, so that I could get to yoga on time. there is nothing worse than arriving late to a yoga class, and everyone is already lying silently, trying to let all stimuli wash over them without impact like water off a ducks back, when you crash in like an elephant no matter how hard to you try to sneak in like a mouse.

so I was walking along rather quickly and I pulled out to pass the guy in front of me, who was not walking as fast as I. And a car drives up behind, like any other car. Except the next thing I know, I have been hit in the shoulder with something which explodes onto the back of my neck and the sidewalk beside me. The car races off, the sound of girl’s laughter echoing down the street. I was stunned. Speechless. And pissed right off.

I was EGGED.

It was worse than being late for yoga.

Worse because I couldn’t shake it. I told myself “are you going to let these fools ruin your night?” and “It will wash out, it is only egg”. But I didn’t enjoy yoga as much as I usually do because my head was full of angry thoughts about the population of cork. my feathers were ruffled and the water got in.

Tom said that it is “rag week” where all the students at ucc get obscenely drunk and act like idiots in the name of raising money for charity. And I was walking through a student-y area of town. But really people, shouldn’t you be acting all academic rather than barbaric?
