The Comeback

OK, second post of the day… I’ll be writing about yesterday now. Let’s see…

Woke up around 8 and hopped on the computer to take care of some business. Joe M was getting ready for class, and asked why I was always up early if I didn’t have anything to do. Good question. Got ready, had oatmeal for breakfast again, and made myself a nice lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches. Caught the bus to school with Peggy and Po C.

It was a very APhiO day of classes. First in PSC 101, I sat next to Liz, and then Susan Z and Eric AY sat by us, too. Cat P is in that class, too, but she didn’t come in time to get a seat by us. (We were in the very middle, so it’s hard to save a seat.) Then in PSC 100, Marissa and I sat together, and Emily L and Clint sat by us. (Chellee’s in that class, too, but I didn’t see her that day.) After those two classes, stopped by the MU for a bit. Saw a bunch of folks tabling outside for Service Fair. I chatted for a bit, and then went home.

Took a short nap, and then I drove Peggy to her class. I wasn’t going to go back onto campus until my class, but hers is pretty interesting, and I like to sit in on it. In fact, quote comes from that class.

“Ugh…”

- Everyone in class after the professor made a lame joke.

“Hey now, don’t go ‘Ugh…’ ! It’s not my fault. Being funny wasn’t part of my PhD program. They used to hire joke writers for all of us back in the 70s, but had to fire them due to budget cuts, and now I have to come up with my own material!”

- Prof. Berger.

That guy… he’s a good prof. I’ll definitely take that class for real if I can. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he caught me reading a book in class, and was like, “Damn, I can’t even compete with that book? Is it that good? What’s it called? What’s it about?” And then he insisted that I finish it by Monday and give a two minute book report to the class on it.

After that was time for my PSC 168 class. The material was pretty dry for the most part. Peggy keeps insisting that her professors are more interesting and entertaining then mine. But then she busted out some good stories about stuff psychopaths say when subjected to the Rorshach Test. Them crazies sure are crazy!

Drove home after class and played Halo for a bit until Peggy got out of her LOXi meeting. I guess she’s going to rush them. Even though at the info night meeting, she got one of the LOXi potentials to consider pledging APhiO instead. The two of us had dinner, and then watched TV for a while. She went to sleep because she had class today, and I played more Halo until I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore.

A Time To Be So Small

Wow. It’s 4 AM. I have to be at Chris and Brandon’s place at 7:30 to go on TAK Retreat. That gives me a little under three hours of sleep. Yay! (Assuming I go to sleep now, that is. But I’m going to stay up for a bit and write up a post about my day.)

Woke up of my own volition at 8 again this morning. I don’t know why. It’s starting to hurt. My previous post describes pretty well what I did all morning.

Went over to Jenny’s place to watch Air with her. It’s an anime I hadn’t seen before about a guy who comes along a strange town while on a quest of sorts. We also watched Bleach 24. I only got through about three episodes of Air and a whole bunch of seaweed packets and oranges before I started nodding off. Sorry, Jenny! The show was interesting, but the sleeplessness was just catching up with me.

Went home to nap, but found people watching Taxi and I couldn’t resist. Finished that, and they started A Shark’s Tale, but then I went up to my room and tried to pass out. Emphasis on tried. Tossed and turned for days, but to no avail. Partly because of the noise of the movie and the viewers laughing. But mostly because of stuff continuously running through my mind. I argued with myself a lot. And the weirdest part was, whatever I was thinking about, I kept thinking of it in blogging terms; I was planning out a post I would never write. Like, at the same time as I thought and argued, another part of my mind imagined myself typing all of these mental goings-on out. Even like deleting and re-writing portions. Sound crazy to you? Me, too.

Hopped online after I finally admitted to myself that I wouldn’t be getting any sleep. But not to blog… just to chat. Judy just got back to Davis and was hungry, so she came over, and the two of us went to Jack in the Crack. Sat there for days, talking about random stuff. One of the topics covered was dating -

“I want a guy to drop $100 on a date with me to make me feel special. But I hate the fancy food – the whole date, I’ll be thinking about Denny’s.”- Judy.

So if anyone wants to know the secret to Judy’s heart, there you go. Drop $100 at Denny’s for her, and you’re set! :) By the time we left, it was time for the party. But we headed back to Suntree first to pack for retreat.

When we got to Aywon’s, a lot of people seemed pretty… warmed up. I grabbed a couple of cans of Pepsi and hugged wall for dear life. So not a sober dancer. Chit-chatted with some other wallflowers. Oh, Peggy and I remained strong! No giving in early for us… Joe M better not be letting us down, wherever he may be at the moment. Bao kept shouting “Drink!” at me, but later on he came over and told me that he respected me for being able to hold out. Thanks, man! It hasn’t been always been easy. The po-po came and broke up Aywon’s, so we moved to Vince and Ant’s place at Oakshade. This one was more chill… it was drinks and games downstairs, music and dancing upstairs. I stayed mostly downstairs and talked. We left at around 4, and now here I am, sitting at home.

Here’s the table of culpability:

Today Total
Cursed 5 91
Drank 0 0
Drinks Owed Michow, Genie, Brandon (3x), Lo S, Joe M, Aywon, Drew

Man, getting awfully close to the triple digits. I shouldn’t talk to myself out loud. Particularly when angry.

Oh, and one more thing before I go… tonight was like the fourth time in five nights that someone’s asked me “the question.” Please stop. If I wanted to talk to you about it, I would have.

Alright, good talk, sport. I’ll see you all in two days! Try not to die of boredom without me.
