I mean it! I love people! They're definitely one of my all time favourite things.

So I had a very nice day. I got up at 6am this morning so that I could study for my anthropology test, because I usually elect to just go to bed when I should probably study instea. Yeah it's like the exact opposite of how most college students behave, but if I've got homework, a project, or a test, I think, "well this is the perfect excuse to go to bed early!" So I do, then I just get up and do it the next morning (well usually ). Yeah it's midterm week, so that means I'll be getting plenty of rest . Anyway I hadn't studied at all for the Anth. test, and to top things off I'd skipped more classes than I'd attended. BUT this is the part where I mention that the class is insanely easy! On the first test (the time period before which I only attended slightly more classes), I got a 104. This test was pretty darn easy too and I'm definitely thinking another A, so yay . Anyway it was fun going to class. I made a couple friends in that class, so it was nice visiting before the test. I actually really think the guy is gay and into me, but I'm not positive. Anyway he's really not my type at all....and he tends to have bad breath I'd quite like to offer him a mint or something, but I don't want to offend, and anyway he's really sweet.

So then I had Latin; we got back our tests from last week. I got another high B! I'm so happy! (and shocked!) Anyway there's 3 more tests, but I crunched a few numbers and it looks like I could make in the 40s and 50s on them and still pull out a D in the class. So WOO HOO looks like I've finally vanquished the nasty beast that is Latin. (Of course I'd prefer to score a little higher than a D, but I'd seriously take it and smile).

So then I had lunch, broccoli and cheese casserole, MMMMM. Oh that reminds me, I gave up chocolate *gasp* and meat that isn't fish/shellfish for Lent (yep I do my vegetarianism the Catholic way - "what? Fish are vegetables, silly!" ). Anyway the meat thing isn't hard at all, the only meat I have much interest in besides fish is chicken, and I gave that up a couple Lents ago so I know I can do it.

Anyway then I got in a nice really long walk (well actually 4 nice really long walks since I elected to walk from home to school and back, and then to work and back) Fun stuff .

Anyway work was great, Mondays are my favourite day to work. It's my shortest work day and the people I work with on that day are some of my closest work friends.

So then (you ever notice I start all my paragraphs, or at least the ones in this entry, "so then" or "anyway" ) I had dinner with a friend, and then we went out for (non-chocolate) ice cream afterwards. Actually I've been meaning to do a whole blog just about this friend, but I'll save that for another time. Needless to say I almost outed myself to her because the guy making the ice cream was just adorable! Not only could I not stop staring (well not in a creepy way), but I had to bite my lip to keep from blirting out "you are so cute!" while he was making my ice cream. On a side note isn't it ashame you can't just say that to people? I mean I like to say nice things to people when I mean it, I wish I could just randomly go around giving strangers compliments.

Anyway (see what I mean) then I got home and someone had emailed me the notes for our big sociology test tomorrow! Yeah I kinda had the same problem with that class I did with Anthropology - I kept skipping alot, but this is our first test so I really don't know how hard it's going to be, I actually expect it to be pretty tough, but not that I have the notes . YAY! So this and two other incidents lead me to the conclusion that people are just teriffic! See I don't even know this girl, I'd just sent out an email to people in my class asking if anyone had notes they wouldn't mind giving me, and SHE DID , they look quite comprehensive too.

One of the other two incidents was when I ran into this guy from high school the other day. Actually he saw me. I was strolling along and all of a sudden I heard someone behind me say "hey Kevin!", so I turn around and there's Michael, so we proceed to have a nice conversation on the way to our respective classes. Now I guess this doesn't sound so odd, except that this is really only the second conversation we've EVER had. The first was my freshman year of high school. I can't remember why but I was having this really lousy day and was kinda down. Anyway it was last period and that year I had a very lax teacher for last period so it was always quite easy to get out of class. So anyway again I don't remember what exactly I was doing out of class, but I went to my locker and up walks this cute guy I hadn't met yet. Now I'm normally pretty friendly but I just wasn't in the mood that day, so I just kept minding my own business. But he stops me and introduces himself and we have this really nice chat, and he really cheers me up! Anyway we never had a class together, and ran in different circles, but he was always friendly if I'd see him, and once again he initated our (second) conversation. This last time I was in a perfectly good mood, but it still made me even happier chatting with him. He's not as cute as he was in High School...or maybe my taste changed, but he's still a really nice guy.

The third incident was one of my about monthly conversations with Philip (yes, he spells his name with one L). We were fairly good friends in High school. Actually we could have been really great friends except that the boy was so completely hot, sweet, funny, nice, "good", and all around amazing that I tried to keep my distance so that I wouldn't fall utterly in love lol. He was also completely straight, I know this because I was one of his favourite people to confide in about his "love life". Not sex life mind you because he really was a "good" boy, stunningly well-behaved. He didn't drink, smoke, or do drugs and he was just so.....sweet. UM anyway so yeah we've lost touch but occasionally I see him online and he always makes me happy. I kinda feel a tad guilty, I always got the impression he wanted to be much closer friends,,,,but like I said I tried to keep my distance a little (without hurting him, I was always careful never to blow him off or hurt his feelings), he was just too cute for his own good .

Anyway so people rock, and I'm going to have a shower and go to bed so I can get up early and study those notes, before the test. Have an amazing day everyone and take care!
