Blog No. AWKWARD: On The Second Day of Finals, My True Love Gave to Me...
My solution to the lack of any Italian homework being done was to come to school the next day pretty early with my sister's laptop. I know I had to do a few pages of the workbook, a few pages of work from the book, and my tema. Not to mention that I had to study for both my Italian and my Statistics final. Figuring all that in, I decided to come in extra early on the bus, and by extra early I mean 7 AM.
*
When I walked into the cafeteria, I walked in and saw Dustin, sporting his scarf and Santa Hat. He wondered what I was doing here so early, and I the same. It turns out he also had this idea of studying before his finals... Only his finals didn't start at 3 PM, like mine did.
*
I whipped out my Xmas chocolate, a 2 lbs box of See's candy I had kindly distributed the day prior before I went to the mall. About 6 people took a few from the top layer. Dustin, single handedly, finished about 12 of those chocolate pieces to himself. XD
*
So there we were, casually chatting with each other, him being on his Black Friday laptop, me doing some homework, waiting for the day to end. After about an hour, Dustin went to his first final. During this time, I realized that I didn't have much to do at all. All of the bookwork and workbook was less than anticipated, resulting in me being finished with most of my work at 9 AM, when Dustin arrived from his easier than expected Nutrition final. He had thought that this final was going to be hard, but it ended up being easy, apparently, even though it had 100 questions on it.
*
So there we were, again, casually doing work and what not. At some point, I grabbed my Rabbiman sandwich, my last one for a while... Kevin came by, mentioning something about a Saturday play, where he has to shave his head and act in underwear and pink high heels, and he invited us along. Dustin and I replied with a polite but firm NO. Then he left, after he had some of my Xmas chocolate.
*
Then Justin Vaughn and Phillippe arrived for a few minutes. They both gave us hugs and teased Dustin about being Santa Claus. I was staring at Dustin, feeling sorry for him because of how awkward that felt to him. After they left, we both pretty much agreed of how awkward it was. Dustin told me he felt very uncomfortable around both of them because of that. I told him about the few instances where I just felt like a teddy bear/mascot to them, and how Vaughn would sometimes bite me for some reason. I think, and I'm speaking for the both of us, that we can only take the gayness in doses.
*
Kevin returned, only with something different about him. He now had a bald head. I thought this was the opportune time to take a picture and send it to a few people. Only Kaitlyn replied with an "OMG OMG OMG!" Whether that was a good or bad OMG is a matter of opinion.
*
In the midst of studying for my Stats final, Dustin gave me a hug and left for his final final. So there I was, alone in the cafeteria, a rarity I thought would never happen seeing as a lot of people were usually in there. A claim only confirmed when Lyle came by a few minutes later, looking for Carolina. He was supposed to meet up with her at some point, only he had overslept. After some intense Stats studying, Lyle and I ended up talking about dreams for some reason. That kinda led to me showing him some dreams I had on my blog. That kinda led to him showing me some dreams he had on his blog. After reading some of his dreams, I felt like I got a little closer to him, in a less awkward sense. C:

Then, Lyle told me it was time for my Stats final, which I really didn't want to go to. Going to that class seemed very redundant and pointless to me. All of the material that was covered can basically be done on a calculator or I could already solve using some simple Algebra. I'm just glad I didn't have to show my work, that it was multiple choice, because I really couldn't put forth the effort of doing much else other than pushing a few buttons and darkening a few squares.
*
After the Statistics final, I found King, Taka, and Lyle with my Xmas chocolate. I had asked Lyle to wait until I got back, which I guess he made good on, seeing as he was there without Carolina. I kinda felt guilty that I did that because that basically meant that I made him wait by himself... When Lyle decided to leave, I gave him a pretty big hug, which was being distracted by Piper's phone call and Kaylah's texting, to try and make up for it. So, in a half hug, I held onto what I realized later as Lyle's behind while I was listening to Piper. About 10 minutes later, after the phone call finished, I realized where my hand had been and apologized. He said not for me to worry about it, so for that I just gave him a gargantuan hug from that awkward position, face against crotch potential and all. XD
*
Taka, King, and I then decided to go to Michael's because of our shirt making plans the next day and the big time gap between my two finals. We ended up at JoAnn's, basically Michael with a sex change and a sudden obsession with cloth. I told Taka that I would pay for the supplies, seeing as I was getting a shirt out of all of this. She was very hesitant though, stalling at which paints to buy and whether or not she needed to get some shirts or not. I pretty much just told her get more than you need in case you decide to do more projects, which she will what with having a number of ideas crawling around in her head about a side business. She had already come up with a logo and everything! I figure all of this was a worth while investment. C:
*
We also ended up at the SuperWalmart down the street from Taka's place to get some contact paper and an Xacto knife. We circled the aisles until we got dizzy and exausted, literally. So we grabbed two people. We ended up with the contact paper, some foam sheets for some repeated stenciling, and a pink Xacto knife. It was a very serendipitous moment indeed.
*
Before the Italian final, I met up with Professoressa Martinelli to see if she had my letter of reccomendation. She had me read it and I must say I'm happy that I've gotten to know her. It was filled with compliments that are too good for me. After a big hug, she asked about what she should do to the class to make it harder. It's true that the class was a little easy, but her perspective makes sense because she gossiped with me about a few people in the class, mentioned some names of people that shouldn't be in that class. I hadn't realized how much this annoyed her until then. Then we talked more about the previous week, asked about what I did. I pretty much told her what had gone on during the concert and what happened over the weekend while I walked her to class. I'm very glad I have the chance to talk to her in this casual fashion. I hope I can still keep in touch with her! C:
*
The Italian final wasn't so hard at all. It was pretty much like a test, only this time there wasn't the dictation portion, like there usually is. Instead, we read a little passage and answered questions from it. It was different, but needed because I felt the dictation was only needed for when we needed to know how to spell the words, not when we are just past that stage. Everything else was a breeze. When I turned in the test, we both said our Ci vediamos and bid each other farewell!

Mom picked me up from school, grabbed me a Taco Bell, and I fell right to sleep. XD
