Here is something about the students

In the beginning of the semester when there are new ones, they fear cars whenever they cross the road. A little later, somehow they learn that care stop for them, no matter how stupid the crossing is. Soon they will start doing it and tell 5 of their friends about it. Those 5 friends will then tell their 5 friends until all of the newbies know of this. And just to imagine, it cost them nothing to learn that when they are spending thousands on college!

Parking, my least favorite one

I sometimes have to drive my mother to work, which is good since she doesn't have to park her car. Lately for the past few years, the U has gotten rid of parking and replaced them with buildings. Let me mention this, it only is being done to the hospitol. So that makes you kind of wonder " Why are the patients losing their parking for new buildings?". I am glad that I don't work for the U, since everyone takes all of the spots before 8:30 am eastern time. Thus in the great words of Sunburstlespaulhero1989 of Jokeroo, parking is like a mad woman there!
it is nice to have
but is a B**** to get!

Next thing

I forgot
wait
HA HA!
got you

Ann Arbor is like a freakin Democrat camp. If I take a certain way to get home, I run into protesters! They seem to think they are smart by having signs that say that Bush is an idiot. I don't get why they do this since the town has little Republicans and they seem to always be there everyday, even in a storm.

lmao ... no you didn't, you fixed it by the time I got here lol

Next Least Favorite thing

The Hospitols
They constantly change where things are. Buildings are constantly remodeled and the construction there only quits in the winter. I have to go there every year to see my doc because of my condition (which somehow is explained on itself?). I swear I have gotten confused in that place so many times to where I am " WTF?!?!?!? can google maps save me? no wait, it might be 3 weeks old which is too old since they changed it 7 hours ago!"
I would like to give them advice, however I doubt they will listen.

Next Least Favorite thing again

I swear, we used to have these crazy abortion protesters. They had these pictures that offended me. What is even interesting is that they protest in a place with heavy traffic. I do agree with their views, however I am against how they say their views with the pictures that make me want to puke.

On a lighter note, they left a few years ago and decided to protest on a busy street on Ypsilanti. They were later told not to protest there since it was distracting the drivers and causing concern for their safety. Since that, I haven't heard from them since. I am wondering now that I am thinking about this since once again I haven't thought about them in years, if they are planning something big.

Construction

That is quite frequent here. I have seen so many roads worked on, I have forgotten the reasons why they were worked on. Now, I use a road called " South Division" and whenever they have had construction on this, you are away of it even if you are at my mother's work place( which is about 1 mile away, which is ____ kilometers

). Whenever there is construction on the roads that I use for whatever random reason I have, I always suffer even if it isn't rush hour!

Patients at the Kellogg center

I don't like making fun of people, but this points out some of the "craziness" there.

My mother works there. From what I hear from her, they have quite the interesting people.

Anyways
These people always need help. I know that a few have asked if their insurance will cover their glasses when they have been told 10 times that it won't work. They will lose their minds sometimes and accuse the staff of being racist or any random thing they will think of. The optical staff are able to take these since, a few of them have been known to be on meds to control their moods.
