So what happened today?

So what happened today? I was asked to write a new blog post so...here I am. Actually, I feel kind of guilty for being here since Jaclyn came to visit and I am alone in my room writing this instead of spending time having fun with her. Yeah, I'm a bad friend.

And there's all these screams and cheers emitting from the stadium or somewhere on campus that would have been really annoying if I did not know how to tune things into background noise.

Oooh, I hope Jaclyn gets her paper done on time. She has a two-page paper to write today and it's due at midnight. Right now, it's 10:34 p.m. I don't know how long it takes her to write a paper but if it were me, I would be freaking out right about now.

Anyway, this is what happened today.

I made myself get up at nine. I could have slept later since I only had one 10:10 a.m. class today but it was my last day of class this semester so I just made myself go. Luckily I checked my email before heading out since I saw a reminder that I was supposed to go to a children's book sale that morning. Unfortunately, there were so many good books that I spent over half an hour browsing through them and was ten minutes late for class. I thought about leaving class as soon as lecture was done, but out of respect for my teacher, I stayed the whole time. Once class really was done, I rushed to Hendrix, withdrew some money, and splurged it on all these books. I was feeling pretty good until I realized that I seriously needed to get a job if I was going to keep spending money like this.

After I lugged the box of books back to the dorm, I had a bad incident with laundry that I will not detail here. Then I remembered that I had to go to a safezone workshop today so I called Johnathon and asked where it was.

Safezone ended around four o'clock and I think I was too hyped up on sugar by the time it was done (two packets of cookies and a can of soda will do that to ya).

By the time I finished the workshop and held the rainbow sticker in my hand, I was practically shaking with joy. "This is the proudest moment of my life."

"It is?" asked Johnathon.

"Well...compared to other moments, yeah."

Johnathon and I made a lot of new friends too--Margot, who is going to join CGSA next semester, Casey, a girl who lives on our floor in McCabe, and a few others.

Then Johnathon and I spent two hours watching Spirited Away and stuffing our face with fattening, salty, artery-clogging, heart attack-inducing popcorn. Finally, we went to eat dinner at Griffin's with the following people:

Craig, Khoa, Qiu, Qiu's roommate Jennifer (who happened to go to J. L. Mann High School with Jaclyn), Jaclyn, Johnathon, Tyler, Melissa, and me.

I swear, our waitress must have been psychic or something. She knew things about us without being told. Or maybe she was just perceptive.

And then we blew half an hour at Moe Joe's cracking jokes and occasionally chatting with the new blonde barista and now here we are back at square one. Whew. That was...a boring account of the day.
