Today, is Fat Tuesday. I’m not really sure what this entails, but tomorrow seems to be Ash Wednesday. I know this means that Catholics put ash on their foreheads for a day. I’m not sure where Mardi Gras falls into this picture, but for the past couple of days people here have been accumulating beads and alchohol.
It didn’t really dawn on me why this was going on. We live in Arizona. I mean … wtf. But, apparently, Mill Ave, the party center of Tempe, turns into a Louisiana Corridor. Indecent Exposure, Consumption of alcoholic beverages, drug use, and inciting a riot. These are some of the laws I have been promised will be broken tonight. I can’t wait. Maybe I can finally have a cool college story to tell people. Something cooler than, ” I puked off a balcony”. While other guys in the dorm are setting off tonight with the expressed purpose of seeing boobs (A noble cause), I think my goal is to try and keep an open mind.
I fear for my 8:40 class. (Not missing it, but attending it.)
