Since Thaddeus will be going off on lots of adventures soon, I decided to give him a good picture of what "home" is like. And since I'm a college student, home is campus. So I took Thaddy around with me today.
First it was Biology at 8:30am. He wasn't any more excited than I was to wake up so early. But he seemed pretty interested in mitosis. He was also glad I chose to sit in the back of class, so he could be less conspicuous. I assured him that the professor wouldn't kick him out, as he's just an innocent little bear who wants to learn. Thaddy wasn't convinced.
After Bio, Thaddy and I joined up with my two best college friends, Brenna and Kendall. The four of us went to chapel in the gymnasium on campus. Then it was off to the caf for a late breakfast. We were all quite hungry, but Thaddeus in particular had a ravenous appetite. He easily finished off a whole Belgian waffle, plus a side of bacon and a glass of milk. When it was all gone, he was "stuffed."
Thaddy and I then parted from Brenna and Kendall, since I had class in a bit. But first I had to study some flashcards for a quiz. French vocabulary cards to be specific. So Thaddeus and I plopped down by the fountain to study in the warm California sun. Thaddy dozed off for a bit (though he denies it) and I had to wake him up to go to class.
Along the way, he spotted an inviting tree and begged me to let him take a quick climb. I relented, which was a bad idea, since the darn little fuzzy rump nearly made me late to class!
When we got there, a girl in my class asked me if I had brought my bear for good luck. I said no, which happened to be quite true, since I only got 80% on my quiz. But I wasn't too bummed, cause how bummed can a person be when they get to spend the day with a funny little bear named Thaddeus? After class, Thaddy and I headed back to my dorm to chill out. After all, it was Friday! He joined me in a Bones-watching party before Kendall and I took him to the honorable cheese society meeting.
Since we skipped lunch because of our late breakfast, Thaddeus was glad to fill his stomach again. He washed it down with a glass of chilled apple cider.
Then Thaddy and I watched more Bones and funny YouTube videos. When dinner rolled around, we didn't feel like eating in the caf, so we got pizza to go. Thaddy, Brenna, and I ate in our room and watched No Reservations. Thaddeus especially liked the fact that Zoe (played by Abigail Breslin) had so many stuffed animals. Then Thaddeus joined Brenna and I in some fun fashion photo shoot action. He was a little too shy to "work it," but I got a couple of cute shots of him.
He was pretty worn out afterwards. It's been a long day for the little guy. So I made him a nice, comfy bed and now he's dreaming away. Goodnight Thaddeus. Sleep well!
