Accident
Shivani just came by because there’s no one in our suite. Maria and Louisa are at the library and I’m in the study lounge. She saw my cup of tea and said “Hey Jeanette, remember when you spilled your tea?” while threatening to tip it over onto the chair again and reminding me how I looked like I wet my pants when the tea spilled. I just made a face at her. Then she said “I saw Dexter. He didn’t mention your little accident [in the cafeteria]” when I lost control of my tray and plates of food came crashing down. I somewhat-jokingly glared at her and shouted “Oh my gosh stop it!”
She’s going to make this another “pulling a Jeanette” I swear. There are already two: sleeping at random times of the day in random places and getting too much food but never finishing it.
My Brand of Socializing Does Not Suit Everyone’s Palate
This morning, after Korean class, I caught up with Daniel and started talking to him like we always do. He walks slower when we’re talking but he was walking somewhat quickly right after he left the classroom. He never waits for me even though he knows (or he should know by now) that I’m going to talk to him. Even though it’s all very casual and not awkward at all when we talk, I can’t help but wonder if he’s trying to avoid me. Most people would wait for their friends after class. Maybe I’m paranoid? IDK. He invited me to join the Asian Christian Fellowship with him, but I feel like I’m trying to force him to be my friend.
Just a while ago though, after I put my laundry in the dryer and started walking through the first floor corridor to get to the stairs, the guy in front of me turned and looked at me, took off his sunglasses, and said “Hey I know you… Jeanette?” I recognized him because he took off his sunglasses and replied “Hey Sami right?” and we made small talk. I thought that was nice that he remembered me even though I was extremely dressy on Friday and I’m toned down to a comfy sweater and uggs today and we only talked for a few minutes in Health.
If a guy that I’ve talked to practically every day for the past two weeks would rather walk back to his dorm alone than talk to me and a guy that I met three days ago initiates conversation with me even though I didn’t recognize him at first, then I don’t understand the world.
LOL I don’t even know what I’m saying. I think I’m just putting off studying.
