Wednesday Morning

Alright, post #3! 

I'll probably be posting once or twice a day... So much to type. 
I realized that I have a tendency to type "..." when typing sentences. I really should watch out for that, because all those years of learning language power and suffering for hours to learn grammar would all go to waste.

So, I went to Oakville today. I woke up at 5:30... after about 3 hours of sleep. I got all my stuff arranged before I went to bed.. so all I had to do was take a shower, get dressed and eat. I have to shower in the mornings. It's the only thing besides coffee that wakes me up. I mean, I could sleep in and stuff, but I find to be more tired. Especially with less than 8 hours of sleep. So I went into the shower and it was soooo warm. I literally stood there for a while, doing nothing. It was freezing in my house (well, I get cold very easily) so a warm shower was needed. After that, I got ready. I found that I still had more than 30 minutes to do stuff before my ride got to my house. 

Remember when I said I would pursue some sort of relationship with him? Well, it didn't turn out so well today. More like... uber fail. When my friend and I got to school, we didn't see anyone. We found that everyone was inside one of the buildings because it was freezing. So we stayed there until the bus came. So, to date, I have always sat with one of my best friends on the bus to Sheridan. I actually saw him before boarding the bus and when I got on. I saw him sitting by himself. Behind him were two of my other friends, one of which is trying to set me up with him. Right when I got on the bus, my friend called/waved me over to sit next to her. I felt kind of bad for him because he always seems to be a third wheel. The two always sit together and then he just tags along. I was surprisingly awake this morning. Well, my friend and I were. We talked for the whole bus ride which was about an hour and a half.  My "set-up" friend was talking to me for a bit mid-way through the bus ride and automatically pointed at him, smiling widely. Once we got off the bus, I walked with a few friends from school. Looking ahead, I started to feel bad again... the whole third wheel thing. So plan number one—talking to him near the bus stop—was foiled, pretty much. 

At school, we all hung around at the foyer of Sheridan because the doors were locked. I think I'm everyone's entertainment at school because I'm so random and awake in the mornings. So, I was busy entertaining my friends when I saw my two friends and him talking close to us. I totally could have walked by and talked to them... but that didn't happen. A security guard had to unlock the doors and we finally trickled into the lecture hall. You know when you're going somewhere in one direction, and there's a few other people that trickle in from the other? Yeah, so he was kinda beside me at one point. We both stopped, waiting for the other to go. I let him go and he did that thing—where you over exaggerate trying to sneak by someone, which was kinda cute, really—and thanked me. That was all the talking we did between each other the whole day. 

So enough about my failed attempts at pursuing someone...for now (I know I'll go back to it).  
We got a part of our assignment back today. We had to provide a thesis and bibliography for an essay. I got mine back and... got a really bad mark. The reason? I apparently did not have a thesis. I had actually printed the thesis on the other side of the paper but it was too small to actually notice—my bad. During class, I was yet again between two people who literally fell asleep. We were in the second row of the lecture hall... it was obvious the professor would know. Critical Issues in Design is actually a really fun course. One of my favorites, I'd say. The professor is really cool too. He can totally keep people's interest early in the morning. But yeah, it kind of bothers me that people fall asleep during lecture. At least site relatively close to the back and sleep so it would be less likely for you to get noticed. I think I might sit with "set-up friend" next week... it'll be killing two birds with one stone. 

So after the lecture ended, I decided to talk with the professor and tell him about the whole thesis dilemma. To divert from the story a little bit, there's this guy in our program who is very, very good-looking. I called him Edward because he reminded me of Edward Cullen. Anyway, this is going sound so weird. But he was talking to the professor before me and I was just looking at him and found that he has really bad posture. On a more perverse note, he doesn't have a butt. So random. Anyway, back to my conversation with the professor. I explained the whole thing about the thesis being on the back of the page and he literally went, "oh s***! I can grade this again for you, if you like". Then I told him, "oh well, after your explanation of the assignment this morning, I find that this thesis is too broad". He then said, "oh, well, then just re-do it, email it to me and I'll remark it". He totally went up 1 MILLION cool points right there. 

So after class, my best friend and I took the bus home. It takes us about an hour and a half of bussing then a 20 minute walk to get home. This is the one  with which I discussed my loneliness. So we've developed "goals". My goal, apparently, is to just talk to him and develop some relationship with him. While walking home, my friend was telling me how him and I would actually make a good couple. Then I went into the whole thing about him being a third wheel with my two other friends and how I really felt bad. I actually want to be his friend. I know how it feels to kinda hang around and not be as fully involved as the two other people. So, for now, I just want to be his friend. I don't like jumping straight into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. I need to know the person first and then see if anything happens. 

Mini-rant: I have so many assignments I have to finish tonight. I'm not sleeping in or doing my work during the morning because I'm meeting up with friends. Maybe I won't sleep.

So I pretty much told you my whole day... in excruciating detail. Sorry to bore you.

The End.
