Got Love.
So Clint and I have gone out a few times, and we've really enjoyed ourselves. He's slowly opening up to me, and I like what I see more and more. So today I asked him to lunch, and I saw him walking out of his building. I jumped behind him (like I do to everyone) and somehow segued my way into saying:
"Do you want to go on a date after our last final together? Maybe to Chipotle or something?"
"Sure." He had this giant grin on his face when I turned away, and I'm fairly sure there was a blush that followed after. SO, after our last final on Friday (which we have together), we're going on an official date! At which point I want to talk about where to go from here. (ie, does he really feel comfortable being boyfriends, or do you just want to keep seeing each other?) I want to do it mostly because he only came out in July, and he does seem to feel uncomfortable about himself. Of course, that might just be around me... I think I'm going in the right direction. :)
((And he's really convenient, too! He lives in Martinsville, about 30-45 mins away from my house! I do feel safe around my generation of people in that town, but the town's had a history of racism, the last incident within my lifetime. I haven't had many experiences there, but I do distinctly remember some racism against my mother and me. But that was mostly old folk.))
My calc final went well, but our teacher didn't teach very much on it--or if he taught us, he taught us the wrong way. I'm not too worried, though--if the whole class misses a question, he'll have to throw it out. He's not a mean professor; he really does want what's best for us. He just can't seem to provide it. (It was a common final, for those that don't know. The other professors didn't teach all of the material either, but it sounds like they covered a much more significant portion of it.)
I ended up not studying too much for it--instead I tried out this nifty new coloring technique in Photoshop involving gradient maps. Very handy and much easier; I don't deal with a separate layer for base/shadows/highlights any more. I do however, think I'll be studying hardcore for my next final: Gen Chem.
