Taking initiative

Hurray!!! Although you probably already know this, I asked the sophomore to sadies!! (Chris = sophomore) how fantastic! Okay so this is how it went down:

At the beginning of the season, I made an agreement with Chris that if he let me ride his skateboard, I would let him drive my car. Well, I’ve been riding the skateboard for the past week and I still haven’t let him drive my car.

SO yesterday, we were walking to my car (and then he walks home), and this is how the conversation went:

me: hey so how’s your date search going?

him: uhh okay not bad. I think im gonna hint at this one girl to ask me to sadies.

me: yea? who is that?

him: just this one girl in my grade

me: *CRAP CRAP CRAP do I still ask him?* uhh cool! But I mean what if someone else wanted to ask you?

him: oh i dont know

me: well what if I wanted to ask you?

him: i’d probably say yes

me:…SO do you want to drive my car home today?

him: no, i dont have my license with me today, plus I’m afraid I might crash it

me: no…you REALLY want to drive my car home today

and then after a couple more minutes of me insisting that he drive it home, he says “okay fine” and opens the door and LO AND BEHOLD on the steering wheel it says, spelled out in post-its “SADIES?” haha he was like “well what’s this?” and then turns bright red and I’m like “…so?” and he says “of course I’ll go to sadies with you!” bwahaha that made like my life. but not really, but it was pretty freaking exciting. The only thing that kinda bothered me was that other girl he wanted to hint to. What if he wanted to go with her instead and I kinda just…asked him? Is that bad? I would feel bad if he wanted to go with her, but felt obligated to go with me? I don’t know.

BUT additional news: apparently, ( i found out today), he is in high demand among other sophomore girls. Basically they said that “[I] am so lucky” that I’m going with him…usually I’m a pretty good observer and I got the feeling he didn’t have very many friends that were girls. I guess not.

Update on my new goals: Staying off facebook is very VERY difficult. I feel very sucked into it still, but I am making progress, and am cutting down my time to half an hour ish (sometimes more…a lot of the times more). So it’s an improvement, but it’s not where I want to be at. Hopefully I will succeed! Also, this weekend I’m going to UMBC for a program interview, so that means I will be out of my house ALL WEEKEND. I think that’s a pretty good accomplishment on my part. I have to, however, add a new goal to my list:

- GET TO SCHOOL ON TIME ALL DAYS OF THE WEEK. This is very difficult because I believe it is engrained in my personality for me to be late at least once a week. I just can’t help it. It’s like trying to teach a pig to sing (cliche, yes, but at this hour, I could not really think of another example without offending anyone). It is impossible. But I am going to achieve the impossible and, by the end of the year, am going to get to school on time. This means I have to slep earlier so I can wake up earlier. Sleeping earlier means less facebook time and more hardcore homeworking. See? It’s all interconnected =)

Soooo this means I should go to sleep now. Sorry this post wasn’t as intellectually insightful, but I thought the news was important. I’ll probably post a blog this weekend about more stuff Lit and Social Justice has enlightened me  with. Although I may say that I hate that class, it has made me so much more aware of my surroundings and I am very grateful for it. That’s all!

p.s. Sadies theme: what you will be 10 years from now. Any suggestions?
