Got there ahead of time, all was good. The place looked nice and clean. It seemed like a very awesome work environment. And I've only seen the lobby. Imagine what they had for the rest of the place? It motivated me quite a bit and got me inspired to even push through more with my studies. I sat there and got along with the receptionist and one of the chosen play testers. After just a few moments, another guy came in and sat on the other side of the room. Then not too long after, a man with a clip board came and asked us to go ahead except for a certain person; which was me.
The guy explained that it turned out they can only play test with 2 people. And after a random selection, I was chosen to be the one to go. It disappointed me a bit but I was cool with it. He did explain that if/when I get chosen again to participate in a play test, my position will be secured. They still paid me for the day, but did not offer me to choose a free game from their library. He asked me to fill up a form and sign it. I was complimented for my signature (it seems I do get that a lot) and I said thanks. They made me count the money, and then we were good. I took off a bit disappointed, but looking at the bright side, I got paid for not doing anything. So it wasn't that bad. Although I kinda wished I had the experience of doing a play test. Something I really wanted to do. But maybe next time I would be more lucky.
Speaking of lucky, I actually had a great night. The morning was just sad and disappointing. But my evening was way better and I can go to bed tonight and not even care about what happened earlier today. I'm happy and I wish for more nights like this. Hopefully, it'll happen more often. I think I did better this time. Things aren't as awkward as it used to be between us. But it seems each time we parted ways and said bye to each other, the awkwardness just once again skyrocket to epic biblical proportions. I gotta work on that. Maybe we just need time. After all, I'm still essentially a stranger to her.
I'm glad she let me tag along. I just really want to get to know her more. I've learned a lot of new things tonight. About her and about Apple products. Yes, I came with her in an Apple store. Scout and Pyro are probably going to dis-communicate me from the clan if they found out about this. Hahahaha!
After she was done with her comparisons and inquiries at the Apple store, I tried pushing my luck by asking her if she was hungry. She replied with yes and without even thinking about it, I asked her if she wanted to have dinner. She simply replied with, 'sushi'. I smiled and said, 'Let's go'. I liked that. Simple and quick. She knows what she wants and we won't have to waste time thinking what to do. Because I'd do whatever and go wherever. If I don't like it, I'll say it. And if I like it, I make sure to voice how much I like the idea. I'm that straightforward. And if she is too, then that's a huge plus to me already.
(Bad morning, but great evening. I'm thankful)
Sushi was good. I made sure we got everything she wanted to eat. But I just let her decide what to get when it came to the sushi orders. She got a lot of the fried ones, which I really prefer as well compared to the other ones. So that's a good thing. It's been a while since the last time I had some shrimp tempura as well. So in addition to the fact that we were actually having dinner together, I was also satisfying my shrimp tempura hunger. Haha.
We talked quite a bit which is something that I've been meaning to actually do. I just want to know more. But I feel like I was the one who talked a lot again. Damn it. With her, I just get so carried away with my own stories. I don't understand. I usually listen more and talk less. Or is it that maybe she just doesn't talk much so I end up neutralizing the silent awkward moments by talking all over them? Hmm.
The evening was great. Way, way better than my morning. I'm glad she let me tag along and I'm thankful.
Oh, yeah. I didn't go to class. So, this entry isn't even about school. Hohohohohohoho!!!
