22nd may 2007 Day thirty eight.
'too much reality for a tuesday afternoon'. i know i asked for an eventful week but i didnt expect it all in just one day or even for the matter of fact that much reality in it.
lunch. i'll never forget that one lunch. so much reality in just one lunch. of all days, my econs teacher had to be so nice to grant us a quarter earlier for break to lunch since we finished our test. and of all lunches, it had to be this one. an hour for lunch as compared to the usual 45 minutes. and it had to happen then.
call me naive or what but i agreed when my recess buddy asked me to sit with her cousin today since she forgot to bring her lunch and its with him. well i tagged along. so there we were on a table of four, her cousin and a friend (i kind of forgot his name) and the both of us. everything seemed fine at first till after i got back from a toilet trip. (they started whispering between each other) alex, her cousin nudging him to make his move. well okay this part, you get it...
they spoke in chinese. (i thank myself for learning chinese) alex was askding him why he didnt want to talk to me. oh great! at this point, i started to speculate a lot. was it me or her? its only the two of us girls at this table. (it was queer as the table was usually filled with alex friends but just for this it was just the four of us) and then it sparked me. oh god. noo... please.
they didnt make it clear that it was that. but he started asking me loads of questions, like my age, the subjects i was studying, april or feb start prog, which university i plan to go (at this point alex made me joke- he hits the guy on the back and says to him to go there too so he'll be able to see me there), whether i have morning breaks (so that he can study with me)
i mean a complete idiot would know where this led to. and i totally avoided this topic. i mean come on, if he was hot enough, i wouldnt mind and might consider but he aint. other than he does have substance inside. most hot guys in my college. like the hk guys with the uber super cool hairstyles (you can totally drool when they walk past you) have no substance trustme.
that wasnt bad enough, alex invited me out for a movie with friends and included me and him. ha;D i was way smart. my excuse: i have grocery shopping, opps! sorry cant make it!' not bad huh? but hey i do (its all part of independence-you make your own shopping)
well i was glad that its all over- im just scared he'll start looking up for me at lunch. oh i have to add him on my list soon. im on undercover starting from today. thank you alex. youre such a great friend.
point to note: if youre left with just 20 minutes to wait for a bus- DONT you ever go grocery shopping, you wont make it back in time. i tried it and im so foolish. i merely went to get some stuff and rushed back to the bus stop. i looked at my watch 3 more mintues till the bus comes.
and zooms... it just went past me. running for the bus is a stupid thing so i gave up since i was so far away from the bus stop. well oh great! i have another 30 minutes to wait for the next bus. no more outside trips for me. waited for the next bus- not in silence.
this lady in her forties came up and sat beside me, seeing my texts on accounting book 2 and 3, she inquired on the course i did. and we just started talking ( well thats perth- everyone just pops up and talks to you) i talked to her like 20 mintues before she boarded her bus. pretty cool. she took up accounting as a bach and three other bach, in total four. not bad. and she made switches in her career from nursing to accounts to computer infosys to politics. and for her TAFE exams she scored a high 90' s which can easily get her any spot in any good uni. well other than kids, that didnt stop her from attending classes at school to finish where she left off. not bad.
well today has been or had been a little too eventful for my liking. too much reality in just one day. its just not me.
