Back to School: Day 19 [Scout & Soulja]

No class tonight. But it is Monday, so as usual, I am making a Back to School entry. Though this post will be a slight variation to what I usually write about. It's not that I strictly write about my class experiences, in fact, it's almost never about my school whenever I dish out an entry under this series. I mostly wrote about her and other more interesting events rather than my epic adventures of sitting in a class while getting bored.
So without further a due, let's get started.

Woke up to my alarm and immediately prepared to go out and head to the bank. Work hasn't been making the direct deposits to my bank account and so I have been visiting the nearest bank to make a deposit. It's not really that bad and it seems I have gotten to know one of the bankers because of my visits. Well, we know each other by face, but I really don't know her name. She knows more about me, that's for sure. I guess I'm an easy to remember person. I started making friends at the flower shop I go to as well. But as much as I enjoy giving her flowers, and I wish to do it more if not forever, I am contemplating of stopping my efforts to keep her flower vase filled up every week. I have come to a realization of a fact, but I need to be certain of my actions before I execute them. In short, it seems she really just have no time for someone like me and I might be just a distraction. And so even with the very little effort I've set up to do for her, it feels like it may actually be too much. I am thinking of abandoning my campaign to keep in touch, send flowers and text messages until she finishes this semester. I have made it clear that I wanted to get to know her because I like her. And she's busy right now. So I'll leave her alone. I'll move on and do things for myself while waiting. I hope that maybe she'll remember me someday and ask me to go for a coffee with her or something. If not, then it's clear that I have not made much of an impact and it was better that I left her alone. I will write about this and tackle the subject in more detail one of these days. But for now, I just have this gift I made for her that I want to give her. After that, I'll stay away and leave her alone. I like her a lot and I feel like I may find what I've been looking for in life with her. But it's not right to force yourself to someone who probably doesn't like you that way at all.

After the bank, I met up with Scout and Soulja. It was quite fortunate that we all had a day off today. So we decided to chill and just have fun the whole afternoon. We went to the mall and browsed around while trying to find a Call of Duty: Black Ops II Season Pass code for sale. And we did. We ate lunch at Jack Astor which was a really nice restaurant. And it seemed like a clean place as well. Which is something I tend to observe whenever I go to a new place. I was expecting it to be more expensive as well but it turned out to be cheaper than what I expected. Good food, good place. Wished I had a vehicle so I can come there more often. A vehicle is something I really need to work on. Not just for myself, but for the girl I'd be with as well.

(Soulja and I. Good times!)

It's always a really good and gratifying feeling to chillax with these two people. Luckily, we all had a day off and we were able to once again spend the afternoon just having fun and hanging out like civilized adults. Well, fun civilized adults. Because we do laugh a lot and make fun of things around us. But it's cool because you don't want to be a stiff person who can't enjoy the smaller things in life. And speaking of smaller things in life, to some people, it may not be much of an excellent experience to spend some time with two friends. But like I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I don't have much in my life. And so even the simplest of things like this, makes me happy and appreciate the very few things that I do have in my life. I was never someone who took those close to me for granted. In fact, I've made some decisions in the past that involved dedicating more time to the people I loved than pursuing a promotion in an employment. And so it isn't really surprising to me that I can appreciate and make a huge deal out of spending a few hours with good people I know. It's good to know that I'm surrounded by good people I can trust.

(Scout and I. He refuses to get taken hostage.)

It was a great day. I look forward to many more sorties like this. And I'm glad to have crossed paths with these two good people. Like I always told them, I thought I was nice. Then I met them and I had to rethink what being nice really meant.
