Another Failure, sort of
So, I was walking through the cafet today with my tray, surveying the territory for the rare chance that I might see someone I know to sit with. I usually eat alone. So anyways, i got to my end of the room, and as I approach a table, I star thinking to myself, "Man, that girl on the other end looks dangerously familiar...." As I was in the process of sitting down, I notice it's Kathleen, the oboist. Sitting alone. And of course, like the loser I am, I didn't go down and sit by her. Again. And this time, we're actually full fledged acquaintances. But, the story doesn't end. Anyways, we make eye contact, and acknowledge each other's presence with a wave. Then she's like, "I have a question to ask you," and gets up and walks down. Of course, I'm hoping this question is like, "Hey, do you want to spend a romantic evening with me, or go hang out sometime?" It wasn't, needless to say. She apparently was looking around on that stupid facebook thing, and noticed that I was linked to a girl she went to high school with. And she was curious how I knew this individual, since her high school is like, 2 hours north of where I live. It was Kate's roommate at Augsburg, a girl I sort of knew through TEC, back when I was associated with that, and I did go swing dancing with her once. So, yeah. I asked her why she was eating alone, she said she was waiting for someone, but got ditched. And of course, like a loser, I continued to sit at my end of the table. So, it was a failure, but not a complete one. Beyond that, I had a busy day. I spent like 3 hours doing history today. It really got boring. Went to jazz band, practiced ear training, went to a mock trial meeting. Yeah, I'm doing it again. Don't exactly know how I feel about that, but it's so ingrained in me, I just keep begging for more, I suppose. I just hope I have enough time. If I don't, I will have to quit. I don't want to jeapordize my grades or practice time for mock trial. I got up early today, and worked out. Well, lifted weights. My arms feel like they're going to fall off now. I definitely am feeling the lack of training over the summer, let's put it that way. My day was really pretty humdrum. Work out, breakfast, sectional, philosophy, lunch, ear training, history homework, dinner, jazz band, practice, mock trial, practice, homework, watching movies and Seinfeld in the room. It just felt very full. I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow, and just having some relaxation time. Seeing old friends. Hopefully seeing Gottwig. In case you don't know, Gottwig was my high school band director, and one of the best people I have ever come in contact with. Just, it is so hard to explain the impact that man had on me. Can't put it into my words. To try to generalize it, he's just one of my very favorite people. Ever. Anyways, that's that. I hope everyone is doing well.
