I was explaining to someone the difference in storage capacity between a floppy and a CD.

I had been looking around campus all night in search of a particular stuffed toy with a number tag attached to it. The fog rolled in as it started getting bright out. The running event on campus was about to begin. A mass of people were gathered at the end of the bridge, waiting for the signal. Various tents and canvas coverings were set up over the route in anticipation for rain. I found myself whistling various classical progressions to calm myself.
I was on the top floor of the building to help out with decorating the rooftop patio. It was a little too dark so I was responsible for placing some extra lamps among the bushes that surrounded the seating areas.
I went to the beach with my dad which also had a small water park nearby. We met up with my brother among the crowd and watched a lecture being held inside of a pool. Bleachers packed with people were set in the unfilled pool to resemble auditorium seating. The lecturer was talking about how as a species we’ve had to keep reinventing the same things over and over. “Why not commit to a small brain?” He mused, “they got smaller for a reason.”
Someone was talking about how missiles launched at America were unlikely to actually hit or even affect anyone due to the vast size of the country. “Unless it hits a power plant, of course,” they added.
We were apparently watching an Avengers movie in class but I had slept through the entirety of it. We were then given a test which had some very specific questions about the food and cooking that appeared in the film.
I was playing a Demoman on the defending side in a game of TF2. There was apparently a daily reward system for the holiday event and since it was now past Christmas, I was able to unlock multiple rewards at once.
I met one of my teachers a few days before the start of the new semester and he told me he was going to take a few days off. He said he needed a few days to sort through all of the garbage that had piled up over the holidays. Plus, he also wanted to test drive his new car.
I picked up an iPad belonging to an acquaintance and scrolled through the list of the hundreds of Discord servers that they belonged to. Many of them were single-member servers made for archiving their personal data. My snooping was interrupted by a friend who wanted to use the device. I asked if she needed it to look at her art. She confirmed that it was indeed to check for color accuracy.
I was looking intently at a turtle pond in the garden for signs of life. I was briefly startled by a frog suddenly hopping towards me.
