You see that, everybody? That is my happy dance. Crisis averted. Balance is restored and all is now once again well with the universe...except for the bit of a lump on the left side of my head from a broom falling on me in the supply closet of the science wing. Don't even ask, because I can tell you for any money right now that you DO NOT want to know. The nub and thrust of my ecstatic-ness is that I am not a complete and utter fool and can now go on to worrying about less life-damaging things.
Like the increasing amount of THEIR work that the science teachers are piling on me. They're sitting back and collecting the paychecks for the job that I AM DOING. I'm not even a member of the faculty and I'm still practically running the department. I might try talking to the dean about it later.
Oh yeah, that reminds me...I'm supposed to be going over there for dinner on Friday. Apparently Gil told his family about us and his isa asked why he hadn't brought me over there yet. I've already met Gil's family through school, so the whole "meet the parents" scenario isn't as daunting as it normally would be, but these are still very different circumstances. I'm not just a student anymore, but their son's BOYFRIEND. So unexpectedly too! I don't really know what to expect from the whole evening. I'm actually considerably nervous about it all now that I think about it. Is there going to be an interrogation? Laying down of ground rules? Pictures? I mean...what exactly does one do with themselves in this sort of scenario? I have heard though that dean Marcus cooks a fantastic meal, so at least I can divert my awkwardness and nerves with food and such. Gil also said that I am set to have a match of RISK against his isa. I fancy myself a bit of global domination as desert. We'll see if he's up to the challenge.
Ugh...there I go babbling again. Oh yeah, Toris...do you still want to go and waste a few bucks with me on celebratory magic cards? I need to preorder myself a box of the new set that's coming out soon.
