Day 10: ...and spiders, Oh My!

Another long day of classes followed by Pad Thai and a noncompetitive game of billiards. Nothing eventful until later in the evening as I was getting ready for bed a HUGE spider trickled from the ceiling, spiraling down his web. As I was getting ready to smash him with my slipper, mid-air, he jumped from his string of silk and began scurrying (the fastest I had EVER seen) across the floor towards my feet. I then laid my slipper so hard on his rear end, that I broke two of my nails (I hadn't noticed until after the fact). Praying with all of my might that there would be the body of a dead spider under my slipper, I lifted it up, and sure enough a crumpled lifeless arachnid lay in the middle of my floor. Using my slipper I shoved him under the bed. Feeling accomplished and powerful, as well as a little squirmy, I hopped into bed very proud of myself.
