Today I was asked to go up to a person in the SUB and recite the verse "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate" So I thought well lets just get this traumatizing experience over. However, I do have to say it sure made life more interesting. So I went to the food court area and found a guy sitting down reading. I walked up to him and asked if I could sit down and he said of course. So i sat down and said I have something I need to tell you. This statement threw him off guard and he got the confused and nervous look on his face. I began to think of great I am gonna get the police called on me and be called a stalker. So there went nothing and I said, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate." His response was laughter followed by huh?

I then explained the assignment that i had and he understood and refrained from calling 911 right away. :) well ironically we started talking, since the ice was broken by Shakespeare and his Sonnet 18, and I began to realize that he was from Billings and we knew a lot of the same people. He had gone to the other high school and we both played basketball throughout high school. So he bought me a coffee and we talked for awhile and that was the end of that. But anyways I got a free cup of coffee out of the lines from Sonnet 18 and my life was definitely made more interesting from the assignment! :)
