Most heartwrenching thing I've ever encountered:
Old man meets college girl at the bus stop on Service Drive. Old man sees that college girl is cold and gives him his scarf. College girl gives old man her address and phone number so he can contact her whenever. Some time later, old man hobbles into Shaw Hall looking for college girl. Old man asks deskie to call and see if college girl is in the room. College girl is snippy with the deskie and states that she only has a few minutes before going to work but she can meet him in the lobby. Old man is ecstatic to see college girl and starts talking with her. College girl blows him off to go eat lunch and says "we'll get together some other day" but refuses to make a commitment to a day. Old man keeps talking to college girl despite her numerous statements of, "I have to go." Old man tells her that she should be wearing the scarf. College girl leaves and old man hobbles out. Deskie wants to scream at the girl for her rudeness to the lonely old man and then hop over the desk and hug him, telling him that old man and deskie can be friends forever. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY.
Despite this downfall of the day, my day has been AMAZING and I'm in the best mood I've been in in a while. I had a rough night last night, and even sang that the sun would come out tomorrow. Then, to my surprise, it really did-in the literal and the figurative sense as well! First, this morning's weather was AMAZING, then Chelsea treated me to Beaner's, Mrs. Farver treated us both to Noodles and Co., I watched the Spartans win a basketball game (a rare occurance lately), and even work hasn't seemed too bad, especially because I get to look forward to Emily and Todd coming tonight for some Mongolian BBQ. Life is good, I think. But then again, life has a tricky way of biting you in the ass just when you say something like that. So, I'm not holding my breath.
The only thing that could make today better, and pretty much the rest of my life better is if my roommates would stop speculating about my life behind my back and just plain out ASK me things or plain out TELL me what they think instead of just talking about it w/ each other. That'd be cool too. But maybe that won't ever be achieved.
Ok, I promised myself only a few minutes of a break from homework since I've successfully avoided doing it the last two times I worked this weekend.
