teach me, i know i'm not a helpless case
Okay, I kind of suck at this updating thing, so this is me, endeavouring to be better about it. I do have an excuse, however, as this week has been very, very busy. I had a math222 exam on Saturday morning. So basically I spent the whole week studying and prepping for it. I don't know how much good it did me, the exam was very hard...I won't know how I did until Monday, really. When I will have to decide if I am going to stay with the course or not. Monday is the last day to drop without academic penalty. I want to drop and I don't. On the one hand, this is the hardest course I am taking and it is presently stressing me out more than the other four put together. On the other hand, I know that I *can* do it. I'm smart, I'm good at math, I want to prove to myself that I can do this. I just need to work harder, maybe get a tutor.
Eh, I'll figure it out.
School aside, there's other things I have been wanting to write about. I guess I should start with what I promised to give more details on in my last entry. Namely, Colin, the new guy I have been seeing.
We met homecoming weekend and he asked me out for a milkshake (which I thought was a cute line and he totally lost points last night when he admitted that he ripped it from a friend! :P), which we went for last Monday. The date went well, as I said. We just talked for hours and got along really well. There were no awkward pauses in the conversation and he made me laugh a lot, which is always guaranteed to get you on my good side. Anyway, originally the plan was to go Prince Albert's, but as it was Thanksgiving Monday, it was closed, so we went to Dairy Queen instead. And they basically had to kick us out at the end of the night. :P
He was driving me home and he asked if I wanted to hang out for a bit longer, and I did, but it was past 11 and I had school the next day, plus living with the grandparents...so I said I'd take a raincheck. And then he dropped me off and I gave him a hug goodnight and told him that I had a good time, and reminded him that he still owed me a PA milkshake. And he laughed and said it was part of his plan: "Now you HAVE to go on a second date with me!" And I said okay.
He wanted to know when I was free and I honestly answered "um, this week? I'm not!" and explained about the exam, but offered that I would be free afterwards, and we made plans to go out that night.
Which brings us to yesterday. So I went and wrote my exam and who knows how it went. And then afterwards I hit the gym because I was all tense and stressed and the gym is a great stress-buster. I had an *awesome* workout. I really sweated it out on the elliptical and afterwards I hit the weights, and just went at it hardcore. I'm so much stronger than I used to be! I'm using way more weights than I used to and it's getting easier and I should be able to up them again soon, and I just really felt the burn. It was awesome!! And I've even become more flexible! YAY!
After my workout, I took a twenty minute shower. Oh man, it was so hot and it felt so good, I didn't ever want to get out. And since I was in no rush, I just took my sweet, sweet time. Mmmmm.
So my exam was at 930 and I didn't end up getting home until about 330. Heh. Yeah.
Then Colin picked me up at 6ish and we went to see The Departed, which is an AMAZING movie and I highly recommend it to absolutely everybody on my flist. It's super-intense and basically non-stop action. LOVE. The only downside was that even though we got there quite early, the theatre was still absolute packed! Thankfully we managed to get seats together, though it was all the way at the very, very back of the theatre. Which, you know, better than being at the very front! It was good. He bought our tickets, so I said I wanted to treat for popcorn, and he let me. There was one embarrassing moment where I dropped a kernel into my cleavage, and I kind of blushed and got it out really quick, and threw my arms over myself in a dramatic awkward fashion and he laughed at me and said "Problem?" and me, "No, no! Nothing!" blushing.
The movie let out a little after 9, so we went for that milkshake he still owed me. It was really good! So we talked over milkshakes and then he asked me if I wanted to get out of there, and I did, so we ended up going out to his place. Where we sat on his couch and talked until 2am. Yeah.
At which point, though, despite the fact that I was still having a good time, I said that I had better get going and he drove me home. We pulled up to the house, and I was looking for my keys, except I couldn't find them because I HAD FORGOTTEN MY KEYS!!! That part was really bad. So I was sitting there, just kind of staring at the house in horror, prematurely feeling guilty as hell.
"You're really dreading going to the door, huh?" he asked.
And I answered that I was, adding "It really, really sucks to be me right now."
"Yeah?"
"Well, in a few minutes it will suck to be me," I amended. "Right now it's pretty good." And I smiled at him.
So he pulled me in and kissed me. :) And then he asked to see me again tomorrow (now today) and I said he could call me later in the day. And then we said our goodnights and I went in and was forced to wake up my grandparents. I am a terrible granddaughter!!
But that aside, it was really nice. He's a great conversationalist, and I laugh a lot when I'm with him, and I really like him! So, I guess we'll see how it goes!
Alicia wants us to go to Palasad on a double date with her and Marco. I'm gonna put it to him tonight because I think it sounds like a lot of fun!
FOUR DAYS UNTIL MY ANNIVERSARY!!!! ♥
