Hello to all today.

First I would like to extend a warm 'WELCOME BACK' to a friend I have met in blog land-Nicola. She just had a baby and told a beautiful and warming story about her child's birth on her blog, congrats and I'm glad you're back Nicola!

Today while I was attending a massive waste land I like to call college the strangest thing happened to me. I was waiting outside my classroom for the door to be unlocked and for the students to be and for the students to be allowed in, when a fellow female student came up to me and asked "Hey Nik have you read all the book?"
"Yes, I have" I like the book and really haven't put it down!
She says "can you tell me what happened, I haven't read it."

OK now I would naturally never cheat but this class required us to read like six novels and I haven't finished two of the stories just out of shear boredom, so I sympathize and say sure. As I start the story of Lestat and Louis I pull my book out so I can show her where in the book I'm getting the info.

Then out of no where, she picks her cell phone up and calls her friend. Her friend did not call her, she actually stopped listening to me talk and called her friend to finish a story that apparently was discussed earlier.

I am totally shocked. I mean here I am giving help to a fellow student and she actually calls a friend while I am talking to her about something she hasn't done!!!! I was outraged, when did this become okay? When was it acceptable to ask for help and then completely disregard what was being said?

This is one of the rudest things I have ever witnessed. I actually got my bag and went into the class (yes, the door was opened by now). Then this (insert your own insult here) came and set next to me so I could finish the story. Thank the gods that the prof. started her lecture or I was about commit murder.

Has this happened to anyone else? How can we stop it?

Well bye blog land happy dreams!
Nik
