Happy thing #2

I found something today, first-thing, to appreciate. Here it is:

Sheffield sunrise

Though I wasn't happy to be awake enough to see the sun rise, I was happy to see the sunrise. It looks like this most clear mornings, and on overcast mornings it's just as beautiful, filtering through the mist on the moors. Our flat is on the third floor, and the kitchen's huge windows face the east, so sunlight fills it in the morning. It's nice. 

And now that I've been positive, I'll tell you my annoyed story. So, most the university buildings here require that students swipe their card to get in. The archaeology building, West Court, where I have 2 of my 3 classes, is one of these high-security structures (haha). Yesterday I forgot my card, and had to knock on the glass and ring the bell for the receptionist to push the release to let me in. When I walked in, I looked up to thank her, and she slid her little window open in an annoyed manner and demanded whether or not I have an ID card. Previously, I would like to add, she was just sitting at her desk, literally doing nothing — staring off into space — so it wasn't like I was interrupting her. Unless she was drafting sonnets in her head. Then my apologies. Anyway, I said, yes, sorry, I do have one — left it at home by accident. She replied to this in parental tones that, "Well could you please bring it with you in the future??" I assured her that I will bring my card next time. EXCEPT for the fact that it's not like I intended to leave it at home that day. Do people leave their ID cards —which they need for access to 90% of uni buildings— at home for kicks? Is this really a problem? Did she think I enjoyed rapping on the glass of every building I needed to get into all day? Annoying... 

But whatever, I have my card securely in my wallet now, so everyone's happy. 

PS: I hope you all like my new layout. Enough owls for you??
