Well, first of all, apologies for missing yesterday's update. I was writing essays for a class until late into the morning, and I didn't have it in me to type another word after the clock struck 3.
Anyway, yesterday was remarkably busy. Had 2 classes, 2 concerts to attend for music history, 4 short essays to write, and a latin exam to study for, which was this morning. After all was said and done, I came home cold, soaking wet, and exhausted.
Today, however, was somewhat less busy. Had lunch with a random stranger today, which was awesome. I was walking out of the UI commons cafeteria place, and I passed a guy, so, being polite, I greeted him, and asked how he was doing. He replied with, "Oh...you know...grandma's in the hospital, so, whatever." I don't know what possessed me at that moment, but I inquired further, and found out that she had taken a nasty fall on Thanksgiving out in the ice, and had busted up and/or bruised her hip, arm, and nose. He explained half-heartedly, as if I didn't particularly care, but after I expressed genuine interest, he followed me out to the tables, sat down, and we started chatting. I never did get his name, but he is studying Chemical Engineering, he is a sophomore, and he is a fairly devout Mormon from Boise. After our 15 minutes or so of talking about school, his grandmother, how much he dislikes living in the dorms, growing up in Boise, etc. we parted ways, and he stopped me on my way out the door to thank me for having lunch with him, as he needed a laugh.
YES.
