MY JERUSALEM
MICHAEL KINGCAID

p.m.
I am a freakishly fast walker. I think I get it from my mother who taught me that taking the dog on a walk should not be a leisurely stroll but a power-walking competition. And wearing heels should never be an excuse to slow down my stride (because only I sometimes wear heels, not she).
When I'm on campus, the walking freak is out in full force, whether I'm wearing tennis shoes or flats that give me blisters. Granted, my walking speed may be because I'm running late at times, but this is certainly not always the case. When I have stuff to do, I just like to get from point A to point B, and not waste too much time in between them.
But I sometimes run into obstacles, aka the fast walker's worst enemies: the slow walkers. Usually, I can glide right past them, even if veering into the grass or stepping off the curb are my only options. But sometimes they're in groups, and their strength in numbers looks too intimidating. They own the sidewalk, and all I can do is to try not to walk too awkwardly close behind them.
Perhaps you, too, find these slow-walking power packs annoying. According to a
survey of 50 KU students, 70 percent of them vented that slow walkers were in their top five annoying student behaviors. To learn more about popular pet peeves among students, check out Sarah's story on page 11.
Now, if I'm going to vent about slow walkers, (don't even get me started on students who don't walk on the right side of the sidewalk), it's only fair to admit my own annoying flaws. Every other Tuesday afternoon I go to the quiet zone of Watson Library to write my editor's note. While I attempt to write (and daydream about the idea of Quidditch players flying by the Hogwarts-like windows), I also eat lunch. And usually, my lunch includes chips. Believe me, I'm aware that people (yes, all people, not just me) are noisy chip-eaters, but have you tried Popchips? They are airy and delicious. Regardless, I know my careful chomping disturbs the quiet atmosphere and must be annoying to some students. Sorry for popping.
After I graduate in 10 days, I won't miss the slow walkers blocking my way to class. But I will miss my afternoons in Watson, writing these notes to you all. I feel very fortunate to have provided you a weekly guide for your college lifestyle. I hope I have entertained you as well. Stay curious and enjoy what time you leave here.
Thank you all.
