squirrels get hungry too.

there i was:

sunny day
clear sky
fresh air.
just walking back to hinderlie from my first class.

i approach the door: happy, confident, optimistic.

i hear a noise to my right... *rustle, rustle*

i look: garbage can.

think.
           *rustle* + garbage can = a half eaten sandwich is seeking revenge?

no.

a squirrel leaps out of the garbage can in my direction: shocked, horrified, freaked.

"AhHhHhHhH!!!"

i was told you should kick a garbage can before you throw something away so the squirrels run away. i didn't even stand a chance at this one.

it looks at me with those beady, black, hungry eyes and decides he will wait for a better opportunity to ambush me.

so it runs.

running away to a bush-like location where it can conspire to attack and eat me when i least expect it.

yes, they do. and yes, it WILL happen.

but i suppose i can't blame the poor squirrel. there are a ton of those buggers on campus, so it has to fight for food. so i wish the best for my little furry friend, and hope he doesn't try to kill me.
