For Meika and Ralph!!

Ok so I assume that most of you that will be reading this know about Franciscan University and all the "Frannies" that inhabit it.  For those of you who don't, be glad you don't, but here's a little window opener for you.  I live near Steubenville, Ohio which a small rundown town right on the Ohio River.  The only thing this place has going for it is Franciscan Univeristy (and, of course, Lancelots which is a just a town over!!!) which I'd say has about 2,000 students give or take a couple hundred.  Now everyone who lives within 20 minutes in any direction knows about the Frannies and how extremely weird they are.  They stand out in normal society like a sore thumb.  For years growing up I saw them walking around the dead shopping mall and occasionally eating at different area restaraunts, but I never expected what I had coming for me when I began taking classes up there this past fall.  Now I always knew they were weird, but I was off by a mile on exactly how weird.  Out of the 2,000 students running around there, I'd say theres about 15-20 normal ones and that may be overshooting it.  My first day up there a kid told the teacher he was Prussian!!!  This is also the same kid who paces the front of the classroom everyday for 5 to 10 minutes continually staring out the window at one side of the room  slowly walking to the other side to play with pencil sharpener.  Oh, I forgot to mention, it's a Catholic school, and I'm not Catholic.  And I must say I have nothing against the Catholic religion whatsoever or anyone that's Catholic, but the ones who go there, think they're better than everyone else.  I honestly think they believe it's a sin not to be Catholic!!  Ok, I've gone on long enough for tonight! I understand this one may be boring, but this is just the beginning, the introductory to my course, Overheard at Franciscan 101, and no one enjoys the first day of class.  But for all of you who have read my facebook statuses, you know there's much more to come ;)
