Guardian Angel

September 22, 2007

He was about 6 feet tall and looked like he broke into cars for a living, but I swear he was a guardian angel sent to me. I was at the Oakdale Mall and it was almost 7 p.m. The night began to fall upon us as the suns light dwindled. This was the perfect time for me, a young 22-year-old lady with an 11-month-old daughter to lock herself out of the old 1995 Toyota Corolla.

I remember his voice was crackly. He sounded like he hadn’t talked in years.

“Do you need some help?” He asked with a slight smile. But it was obvious. I had a coat hanger sticking out of the frame of my car, my daughter whining in a cart and my mom trying to peek through the glass to direct me towards the window handle.

“YES! Please, if there is anything you can do…” before I stopped talking, he was already jimmying his way to get the window down. Two hours went by than seemed like forever. Fishing the hanger into the car, taking it out, rearranging the wire and fishing it back in… he must have done it 50 times before I heard, “The window is down.”

Down… a half an inch, that’s all. Somehow though, this guardian angel grabbed my purse, and found the keys inside, brought them to the window, unhooked them, and unlocked the door.

Success and a rescue from a complete stranger I otherwise would never have spoken to.

Description of the Business Building

September 17, 2007

I walked to it everyday. The building was in the center of campus, and wasn’t hard to spot. It was the only building connected to another building by way of an enclosed bridge. It was a red-bricked building with three entrances. In front of 2 of the entrances, the doors were usually hidden by a cloud of smoke. The smokers were always surrounding the doors like bees to a hive, even though they were supposed to be 25 feet away from the building, they never were.

Sometimes I was here for class, other times I was just passing through to get to another building, and sometimes I was here to get out of the rain, snow or the hot beating rays of the sun. Either way, the walls of the building were always white. And the noise was overwhelming when you entered in. Between the personal conversations, the classes and the professional conversations, you could barely hear yourself think.

All the international students seemed to use this building more for lounging and eating their ethnic food rather than any other or the cafeteria. The smells of Indian, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and any other food that isn’t quite American is always taking over the first floor. I am sure if you licked the air or the walls; you could taste the food that was being made as clear as if you were eating it.

I raced up the many stairs to the second floor where my class was. Now, these ghost-white walls were consumed with paintings and photographs of Binghamton and the way that used to be.

I frantically searched for Room 219. This is where my studies of Writing for the Mass Media were going to be held by Professor Ed Evans. 210, 211, 212, 213… where was 219? Was I looking for the wrong number?

Finally, I arrive at Room 219 in time to get settled into my desk. The room was freezing but that wasn’t different from the rest of the building. The wind blew through the bordering windows, rattling the blinds just enough to annoy me. I settled in- just to realize- the walls were now seaweed green.

So, you thought you were responsible enough to have sex… but you didn’t think that one night at a party with a hot guy and no condom would be a “big deal.”
