'Nonsequitur' is such an awesome word.

So, I've got another story going. I probably won't put this one up on the internet -- at least, not until I finish it. Seeing as how it takes me forever to finish anything, and I'm just starting Chapter IV now... I'm thinking it'll be fun to thrill you with little excerpts. Cause, y'know, excerpts are fun.
She was bored out of her skull.

She flipped through the pages of her textbook. Her classmates seemed just as bored; one doodled, another was reading a trashy romance novel, another still was playing Tetris on his cellphone.

There was just something about that class. Maybe it was the material. Maybe it was the way Dr. Adders taught it. Maybe it was just Dr. Adders. But there was just something about that class--

"Avery! What do you think?"

She quickly glanced at her notes. They were barely legible, and the only part she could make out was a small stick figure that appeared to be hanging himself.
Other than that, there isn't much going on.

I mean, unless you count the incessant whining and bitching about our sudden lack of a field hockey team.

It's kind of a fun story, because, you have to realize, we don't have a football team. The Baltimore Ravens offered us a stadium the size of the one that College Park has, and it was turned down, because we want to remain an academic institution, and not become a sports school.

Of course, we all know the real reason it was turned down is the fact that it would take up almost the entirety of campus, and the whole of the student body couldn't fill one section.

Plus, we don't have a football team. I mean, really, who's going to play there?

So then, somebody, in some administrative desk job, decided to get rid of the field hockey team. I'm sure there's still a field hockey club, but it's not an officially funded team that goes and does team things.

But wait. Here's the punchline: They got rid of the field hockey team so that they could increase the funding for the cheerleading team. Y'know, the ones who get to cheer for our non existant football team.
