Seriously?

A few things I've heard walking around campus yesterday and today...

• (Guy on the phone) "I was way too drunk to remember much. All I remember is her cheetah print boots and how sexy I thought they were. Then I got on facebook and realized the her was a he. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE ME DUDE!!!" 
• I wasn't aware that things like this actually happened aside from tfln.com. Seriously?
• "I haven't taken notes since October." ...(A smidgen of time later) "That professor is an ass hole. He's failing me."
• Recap... you just said you haven't taken notes since October and you're confused as to why a professor is failing you? Seriously?
• (Two identical girls in front of me.) "ohmygooooooodddddddd, I feel so awesome right now! I mean, like, there's snow!!" 
• I'm not exaggerating. That's what they sounded like.

Until another day, enjoy these early December things that I over hear on campus. 

First Post

My first post comes to you from a day of sitting at the IMU enjoying a thermos of cold Rooibos tea and texting a friend whom I haven't spoken with in quite a while. This post is mainly to tell you all what my blog is going to be about and how I came about starting it. 

1. I was overcome with curiosity, so I started a blog
2. My blog will be about the things that people talk about daily not realizing that they're being overheard. Hence "Mum's the Word" I find this topic immensely entertaining and I hope you agree. This includes 

• phone conversations that people aren't supposed to be paying attention to
• my uncanny ability to notice things I shouldn't
• things people do when they thing I'm not watching

I will be watching. And I will be posting. Enjoy the reading!
