In this drainage pond outside my apartment building on-campus, live 2 ducks: a male and a female.

Every morning lately, I've been roused from sleep by the male QUACKING his head off. I'm not talking about quiet little quacks--he really belts it out! Usually it's not a problem, as he usually does it around 7AM or so, which is when I get up anyways...

But as all typical college students, I was trying to sleep in today. Mr. Mallard started his quacking at 6:30 AM and didn't STOP until 7:30. And I swear that as soon as I grumpily dragged myself out of bed, he decided to swim away with his lady and not quack anymore.
