Oh it must be great to be a turtle, taking life slow and relaxing in a pond, they don't have many hopes, they take life as it comes. However, I am not a turtle, I have many hopes and more often than not my hopes are dashed, I get my hopes up and then they crumble, but such is my luck, it has always been that way. I wouldn't be able to take being a turtle for long, I'm an impatient person and want to get where I'm going and do it quickly because the longer I'm driving on the road the higher the chance I'm going to die. Not to mention I'm not much of a swimmer, although I would be a bird if I could be even if I am not much of a flier.
To keep on the subject of animals, since I don't want to dwell on my disappointment of dashed hopes, birds have been very attracted to me today. It's almost a little scary except for the fact that I love birds, I love their wings and I envy them sometimes. I went to my speech class today and I sit next to a window (which I would like to brag, has a beautiful view of the lake) and sitting on the window right next to my chair is a little finch. Very, very cute, but I didn't sit down until it flew away because I didn't want to scare it. It made me smile. I wasn't expecting to see that same bird while I was sitting in the library (which is a floor below my class now that I think about it). I was just minding my own business and that little bird flies to the window, eats some bugs, sees me, eats some more, than moves on. I'm not allowed to eat in the library so I leave and sit outside in the sun, I wasn't paying attention until the people near me got up and left which made me look up, and as I look up I notice something next to me so I turn....and there is one of those huge cranes (the ones that are endangered so if you touch them or feed them you can be fined and put in jail) and it was staring at me as I ate my sandwich. It's mate was a little further away (they mate for life, isn't that amazing?). Well, I had my electronic devise in front of me and I began to close it up and it shined a light on the ground and ceiling (like the ones you can make with a watch when the light bounces off of it), which freaked the bird out, it was watching that light like a hawk (pun intended? Is that even a pun?) and so I moved it around a bit. I never thought a bird would play with light but this one was transfixed, it was hilarious. And (I don't care if I shouldn't start a sentence with 'and' but I did it anyways!) of course there is a guy (whose name I do not know but I see him everywhere) and he was sitting nearby chuckling about it. After a while I'd decided to leave the birdie alone and it got bored (I was done eating) and left with it's mate. If any more birds follow me today I'm going to come to the conclusion that I am either a reincarnation of St. Francis or that I am growing wings (I'm wearing a shirt that has a wing design on the back, does that count?). I would love to grow wings, it's my wish, if it were at all possible I would give my soul to have some wings (actually I wouldn't, but I would LOVE to be able to fly). Too bad it's not possible. Oh well, maybe evolution will take over and do something right and give us wings. I just need to live long enough.
