Entry TWO-HUNDRED-FORTY-TWO

UNI CLASSWORK On the way to the library, or rather to really pick up our assignment, I ran into Ying. Then of course Shivang found us (how are Indians so sneaky?) and that's when we were shocked that we received a 66%. I've never gotten so low on an assignment before, and we were pretty much livid. Stephen walked by and said we should talk to Ray Gordon, the head of business, but instead we kept level heads and it actually pushed me to study that much harder.

WELLBEING I told Stephen that he made me feel better by saying I only need 10% of my 55 point exam to pass. I told him and he seemed to enjoy it, so whatever makes him realize that his support actually keeps me sane. But it is completely true.

Then to make me feel even better, I told Arthur that he and I should go to Q1 next semester, and that Stephen should come if he wants, too. And they both agreed and we all thought it'd be rather enjoyable. Yes, they're both older than me, but really, I'm getting used to older friends. I had Doris at Target and now them here. It makes me feel more mature and connected, since they understand me and can help me when it comes to school matters. No immaturity.

YING came to my room when I was eating and I told her I could bring my half eaten lunch to the tables so I could eat with her. It was rather relaxing and we made each other feel better considering we were still getting over the shock of the 66% exam. Arthur came to join us and it even lightened the mood even more.

LITTLE PLEASURES I told her, "Why don't we study together? Just talk it out?" And so we did on the lawn with the gorgeous hot sun. It actually felt good to study with someone.

But then it got cold and we went to her place to study and talk it out so much that my voice went hoarse. She misinterpreted my, "I may stay up the whole night" as wanting to stay over and there I was going to the bungies with her to get my blanket and pillow. It happened so fast that I didn't even have time to be uncomfortable with the situation. In fact, this is the first time I've done this, besides with Gaz and Liz, in years and years. I didn't even want to do this when I first met Liz!
