Almost the Weekend
I'm pretty sure it's as early as Wednesday that I think excitedly it's almost the weekend. See? Sometimes I can be optimistic. :)
So last night Jeff and I resorted to W**-Mart to get our brooms for Broomball. I should have known they would be sold out-- I don't know what I was thinking. I suppose this year it was an improvement to go a week before rather than the night before, but it still disappointed me greatly. I felt like a big fat failure of a pick-a-date, a failure as a gf, and a failure at life altogether! Granted, this was not the only thing that went wrong yesterday, but it seemed to be the most significant. I still sigh just thinking about it.
Today I was walking through the hallway in Reade when this man-- he had to have been a professor or something-- came out of a door at the end of the hallway. He looked in my direction and with an enthusiastic (but not fake) smile, waved and said "Hello!" As he disappeared around the corner, I glanced over my shoulder; surely there was somebody else to whom he'd directed his greeting-- that couldn't have been for me. But there wasn't anyone there! It was just me! He took a few steps backwards and must have just caught me glancing behind me, because he's like "Yes, you" in a friendly tone. "You don't think people would want to say hello to you?" My FIRST response-- the one that just came from out of nowhere-- was "Of course not, I'm a nobody." But I settled with "I'm not that well known I guess." He said "We are all in the same boat" and smiled at me. Then he gave me a high five, told me to have a great day, and I told him the same. Oddly enough, I found that incident quite encouraging.
I am confident about my Biblical Literature II Exam on Friday. It's going to be great. :)
Well I better do my homework. I have much to do, but none of it should be too hard. I just have to spend some quality time with it and I should be fine.
P.S. It's raining today... Yeah, I know, I'm glad too. :)
