One of my goals was to strike up a conversation with a stranger, and I almost accomplished that goal today. I had the perfect opportunity, because I ended up sitting next a guy at the bus stop who had also just come from our first Women's Worlds class, and since he one of like four guys, he was recognizable. But I didn't. Here's why: one, because I have the sickness. Nothing serious, just the type that could be cured with Dayquil I don't own. Ah, epidemics. One of the joys of living in an apartment. It's like smallpox. Two, because he was reading a book, and I know I hate to be interrupted when I'm reading, because who really reads at a public place like a bus stop unless they're trying to signal to others not to talk to them? I was even tempted to ask him what he was reading, which is the big mother ship of all annoying questions.
Yesterday I was literally dying of boredom but I got to visit Heather and her roomates and some of her roomates' friends, then we went to go get pizza. That is seriously like the happiest thing that has happened to me the week I've been here.
Also I never realized how many people I knew around campus. Saying hi to me and such. Well it's about TIME, I've only been here 2 damn years. And I know A DOZEN WHOLE PEOPLE!!!!! I could have my own bowling team, I think. I actually hate bowling, but I like the shoes, and I always wanted to go bowling in a skirt cause I think it would look cute with the shoes. But being stared at by drunken old men isn't so cute. Maybe for some people, people like Karen "Bells" (I don't know if she wants me to use her real name) but not for me.
Just kidding, Karen. OR AM I?
Anyway, it's time to drink tea and start with the healing...oh shit I have four classes tomorrow. Damn.
