three things I find obnoxious

1. That kid in my econ class that can't seem to keep his mouth shut. He's always arguing with my professor, or nitpicking about the way my professor draws the graph ("I'm a math major so that kind of thing really bugs me" he says), or even just talking to hear himself talk ("Oh! Did you hear? So-and-so did this. That kind of relates to the topic..."), or talking about other stuff ("My wife and I __(fill in the blank)__.") Barf, barf, barf. For those of us who are trying to learn... or trying to listen... or trying to enjoy the lecture... you know what I'm saying. Can I throw something at him?

2. When people tell me things that I already know. Thanks for your advice, but... well... that's actually something I've been thinking about myself. Granted, I know I've done this to other people myself - so maybe I shouldn't be talking. But still, if I've heard something at least twice a month since I was 12, I don't need to hear it an additional time. :) 'nuff said.

3. Not being able to have quiet alone time. Looks like I need to find a new spot. Someone took mine over and now it's not my own. The search is on, and if you have any suggestions, now would be the time.

On a more positive note...

Dance on Wednesday went great. I was so happy with my scores, although I was a little tiny bit disappointed. You see, I got a 94 on Waltz, a 95 on Tango, and a 94 on Foxtrot. This made me happy. However, the cutoff for "High Honors" is a 95 average... so I was less than one point away. Hence the disappointment. But it was only just the slightest little bit.

Wednesday night I went out with this guy. It was fun. I'm still not really sure how I feel about him, and it seems like he's more interested in me than I had thought... so I just don't really know. I'm not sure I'm ready yet to make a decision because I don't know him that well. I know nobody is forcing me to decide anything at this point... but I would like to know how I feel about everything. I guess that will take some time. And that's okay.

Thursday I cooked for my dinner group. I made Hawaiian haystacks. I haven't ever made them before but they turned out REALLY good. I was very happy with it. And, the best part... I have LEFTOVERS! It's glorious.

I'm excited because tonight I'm going out with this guy who I've been interested in for a while. He's cool. I don't really know if I like him... but I am interested in seeing if there's anything there. And he finally asked me out. Great fun.
