Day 1
I was anxious to get to school. I had met someone in one of my classes whose company I enjoyed. It’s been a long time since I’ve met a person like that. I was eager to see her again at school.
After I arrived in lecture, I was pleasantly surprised to see she had saved me a seat. How thoughtful. Couldn’t talk much but that’s the way lectures were. We sat and took down what notes we could occasionally glancing at each others papers to make sure we had everything relevant.
I was disappointed after the fact since we couldn’t spend time together. A classmate approached her and started talking. She wasn’t able to disengage herself from the conversation. I sighed, shook my head at her and decided to grab coffee instead to get me through the rest of the day. No worries. Five hours to kill. My parents would be departing for Hawaii today. I’d have two weeks all to myself at home. Would I manage? We’ll find out.
After I picked up Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol from Chapters, I was almost home before I made a pitstop at a friend’s house. He’d just acquired some new hardware that needed assembling and I was the only one available. Several hours later, and after we called for some backup, we were able to finish. By the time I got home, it was 9.
Made myself a nice instant dinner of shrimp, scallop and pasta with some chicken on the side.
Collapsed onto bed after finishing my work.
Day 2
Morning raid. Earl Grey helps in the morning. Pulled another pack of left overs and combined it with some macaroni. I’ve got lots of instant dinners loaded up in the freezer to last me for a few days before I need to make a supply run.
Made a critical mistake. Wiped my face on my sleeve. I still had tomato sauce on it from lunch. Orange stain on my sleeve. Limited supply of shirts remained. 20 minutes of cold water and extensive scrubbing later, the stains were successfully removed.
Managed to power through the rest of Dan Brown’s book today. It’s now 130 AM. So exhausted.
