Things I Am Thankful For: The Absence of Chirping Crosswalks in My Neighborhood

Last night I attended night two of a failed attempt at a drop-in add at my new local community college - Los Angeles City College. It was a discouraging night and as I left the microbiology lab classroom I got denied access to and got to the sidewalk, a sigh of relief came over me. I was not irritated by the surpringlsy loud sound alternating chirping and cuckooing of the visually-impaired- friendly crosswalk signals because I was too overcome with appreciation that these godforsaken fake bird sounds are something I do not typically have to endure. It's good to be me.
