Haphazardness

After a long autumn-break-week-off…

*Haphazardness: (Synonym of randomness) “characterized by lack of order, planning, by irregularity; determined by or dependent on chance; aimless.”

Short story
‘Vexatious’ Student – How many haphazard days can you fit into one day?

• Student goes to sleep.
• Student wakes up.
• Student eats.
• Student tries to study.
• Student looks back at the bed.
• Student sleeps again.
• Student wakes up.
• Student tries to study (2^nd attempt).
• Student goes down stairs to the living room to avoid ‘eye contact’ with the bed.
• Student tries to study (3^rd attempt).
• Student notices how the couches are staring. Staring ALL THE TIME!
• Student… …sleeps again.
• Student wakes up… again.
• Student goes to study in the kitchen to avoid ‘eye contact’ with the bed and couches.
• Student feels hungry.
• Student cooks and eats (which takes 2 and ½ hours).
• Student housemate (another student) says: “How is it possible to eat for 2 and ½ hours”.
• Student answers: “I have no idea!”
• Student feels sleepy again…

But student goes to other students’ houses just to check what’s going on…

Student finds:

A Big Butt Book

Tea

A scary doll

Another very scary doll

Trees in a wall

The universe in a canvas

A miniature dress

A spongebob

And a reminder that: Life is beautiful

Student returns to own house.

Student enters the house (suddenly turns into Sherlock Holmes) and discovers:

Steve Jobs, Pocahontas, Cleopatra, el Che Guevara and Harry Potter sitting in the living room’s couches holding food in their hands.

…the Chinese, Latvian, Thailand, Bulgarian, Nepalese versions of Steve Jobs, Pocahontas, Cleopatra, el Che Guevara and Harry Potter; who then enjoy an international “buffet” of Latvian-Russian Salad, Bulgarian meat and mashed potatoes, Thai noodles and Guatemalan-Italian spaghetti a la carbonara…

…an (accidentally bought) champagne (…don’t even ask why the “accidentally” part!), with Fontys cards. “Product placement”.

…Chinese game “Mahjong”…

…and messing around with a magnifying glass.

Student Sherlock Holmes is uncovered and discovered doing everything but “studying”… remembers that after more than 2 years of living in The Netherlands does not even remember its own phone number… Probably meaning that student needs to get started with memorizing 6 chapters for a final exam next week…

Student finally studies.

(Weird post; huh? …I know!)
