So, anyways, I was attacked by a bird today. Or, rather, my backpack was, but it was on my back at the time, so I count it as a personal attack. And it wasn't like an eagle or a hawk or something, or even a crow; I don't know what it was, but it was not much bigger than a canary. A friggin' canary!
I was walking back from work to my dorm, and I was watching a squirrel going about its business, when I see the bird fly into the tree I'm walking past. It's eyes meet mine as it lands, and it makes one loud chirp, as though to say "Whatchyu lookin at, foo?" I think to myself, "Crazy bird", and continue walking. Suddenly I hear the chirp again, except much louder, as though it was right behind my head, and then a fwoosh type sound. I turn around just in time to see the bird land back in the tree. I glance around to see if anybody else is nearby, and think, "Okay, whatever."
I continue on again, when I hear the whoosh again, the chirp, and feel/hear something strike my backpack very lightly. I turn around again to see it go back to the tree. "Stupid bird, I ain't dead yet," I think to myself as I move on yet again. I thought that would be the end of it since I was a fair distance from its tree. Then, whoosh, I look, it flies to a different tree, one that I happen to be walking by. "Oh crap" I think, so I quicken my pace.
I wasn't afraid of it actually hurting me (though I was afraid that I might have had to hurt it if push came to shove), I just didn't want the crazy bastard following me and attacking me all the way back to my dorm, with people looking and wondering what awful act I must have commited that warranted a friggin canary stalking me and trying it's darndest to kill me. Whoo, that would have been awkward.
Anyways, it continues making swooping attacks at my backpack, and I'm hurrying along, looking out for other people. I don't see anybody (luckily), but I started laughing out loud to myself just in case, and commenting on the insanity. "Ha, ha ha, birds these days! Yep, always trying to act like tough guys, ha!" Inside I'm starting to panic just a little bit, while another part of me just laughs at the obsurdity of the situation. I'm almost to the point of running, when finally it drops back, offering a few last threatening chirps as I retreat from it's territory.
I guess this is what I get for making fun of and laughing at that one stupid looking bird in the zoo.
Anyways, I finally registered for classes, and managed to get every one I wanted, despite the fact that I was late (I completely forgot the first day I was to register, and the next day was Good Friday, which I though counted as a holiday and that I would get the following Monday, but no, this university is stupid). I somehow lucked out and managed to get into a fencing class, which is cool. Usually all of the kineseology classes are filled up almost immediately, but that one was suprisingly still half-empty or so. Coolness.
Anywhoo (trying for some variety), its quite late because I'm been studying for the last few hours. Have a test tomorrow that I had almost forgotten about (well, I knew Monday, so I had plenty of time to prepare and stuff, I just didn't remember over the weekend, meaning I didn't use that time to study like I should have). So I need to go to bed I guess. G'night!
