I'm Baaaack!

I survived Zombie Apocalypse Day 2

Today was way easy

I got dropped off after work right at the building of my next class,

After work there was a campus-wide safe zone (humans are safe, zombies can't touch them) in order for the humans to make it to the Colosseum games at the Quad

I participated in the Games, I almost won too

Then class again at a building right next to the Quad

Then after class another campus-wide safe zone because some club was bringing guns on campus and they didn't want anybody getting confused and shot

So I went home

Easy day to survive

Tomorrow however, is a different story

Just so you know...

I survived day 1

It was no easy task

From the first step I took on campus I was on the run

My strategy was stealth and speed, using the buildings (safe zones) to travel across campus, or as I call it "building hopping"

I had a few scares, but luckily never got tagged

I feel pretty good about surviving day one and all except...

Tomorrow is another day

Wish me luck

They're here....THEY'RE COMING!!!

I'm gonna need lots of ammo...
I wish I could run faster...I should have done more cardio to prepare...
Campus is going to be a crazy mess...
Where's my map? I need to map out my course...
I need to find a posse for protection...
Sweating bullets...white knuckles clutching my Nerf blaster...
Are they around this corner?...Or this corner?...
Why is my next class so far away?!
I hear them.
Running behind me.
I must survive.
THEY'RE COMING

Yes folks, this week is Humans vs. Zombies here at Utah State. If you don't know what it is, its basically a huge game of tag between "Humans" and "Zombies". The game starts out with just a few zombies and hundreds of humans. You go through your normal day with classes and whatnot, only every time you step out of a building on campus...you're free game. The humans can use Nerf guns and sock balls to "stun" the Zombies for 15 minutes. All the Zombie has to do it tag you, and you become a member of the "Zombie Horde", furiously feasting on human flesh in order to not die from starvation. In addition to regular activities on campus, the Humans also participate in special "missions" each night in order to earn prizes valuable to the game. Needless to say, this is the most epic game of tag you've ever seen or heard of. And I'm a part of it. Yes, last week I registered and I'm starting out as a Human. Only problem is I still don't have my arsenal, my darts and weapons, so my roommate Mike and I are going to buy everything tonight after midnight (cause you know, todays Sunday...I know, its not something we should do every week...) After that we're going up to campus to map out our courses between classes. I need to get a map...We have to be ready, because starting at 8 am tomorrow, the war begins...

A real brain-BUSTER

I tried a new game on campus today.

I call it "quick-compliments".

It consists of looking at every person you pass (or most people, if its really busy) and just by looking at them for a few seconds, coming up with a sincere compliment that you would give them if you had the chance.

Sometimes its hard because they pass so quick,

Sometimes I try to make it harder by coming up with something deeper than a common one-layered compliment. For example: "Hey I like your shoes." would instead  be more like, "Hey I really like your shoes, they go with your shirt and it makes you look really confident."

Another example: I saw a girl with a diamond headband  and a shiny necklace and I thought, "Your headband is really beautiful the way it sparkles in the sun and that and your necklace really make you stand out."

I don't know why or how I started doing this. It started a few days ago and it was only today that I really consciously realized what I was doing.

I noticed that it really put me in a better mood because whenever I see someone I think something positive about them, and that makes me happier. I think I will continue to do it.

Until next time...I really like your comment below, it lets me know you are an awesome person.
