Yeah... today was a pretty good day to (sort of) end the week on. Went to see the play that my school was showing (A Servant of Two Masters, actually a show from all the way back in the 1700s), and while there ended up sitting with one of my favorite people, who I also got a chance to talk to for a little bit after the play ended. I really haven't had enough opportunities to talk to her this semester, so every little bit helps, even if it is just a short walk back to her library-mod house and a bit of talking outside before she had to go in to tend to her ever-growing pile of homework, club duties, and a full text-message inbox that needs to be cleared out at some point. Hopefully I'll be able to ask her on a date of some sort sometime soon... I still don't know if I actually have a chance at all of ever being anything more-than-friends to her, but I figure I should keep trying, at least as long as I continue to like her so much (...especially since I only have this one last year here... she'll be here again next year, but I don't know how easy it would be to come back over here and see her next year... so I'm guessing that if anything's going to happen at this point it needs to happen pretty soon.)
Now if only it was actually the end of the week, and not just the start of the weekend which (like all weekends where I don't really have anything special to do) will inevitably be crammed full of boredom, loneliness, and especially homework... (the idea that my watercolor class wants not one but two paintings--and two little essays to accompany them!--from me on Monday still kind of pisses me off.)
Anyway... things have been going fairly well lately, not just today but most of the whole week. Homework hasn't been weighing me down too much (though I am worried about the painting stuff coming up...), I haven't had too many (if any!) days where there just isn't anyone around to talk to, I've made a buttload of money on eBay thanks to the fact that Ducktales 2 for the NES is apparently really hard to find now (to the point where someone's willing to pay $220 for a copy of it that doesn't even come with the instruction manual!), and I now have a vacuum for my apartment. Yeah, the landlady literally just came by one day and asked me if I wanted it, since it was a smaller, cheaper one that doesn't quite do the job well enough to cover the sorts of messes that a 4-year-old tends to make. Should be fine for one guy living alone, though!
Oh, and today actually felt sort of like a warm day in fall, rather than somewhere between an oven inside a volcano and the surface of the sun like the weather has been lately. I didn't roast even during the day (it was a bit warm outside the shady spots, but even then not too bad), and I was able to go for a decent-length walk at night without even getting sweaty. I don't think I'll even need the AC on tonight, I can just keep the windows to my bedroom open and I should be able to sleep with no problems.
