Time is Running Out - Papa Roach

I removed the survey that I posted last night because it was really just a way to pass the time & no one's going to read it.

Anyways, today was an interesting day: took my biochem exam, ran over to main campus to present my poster at the Undergrad Research Conference for the grant I got over the summer, bought a $90 textbook (depressing), awkward times at the Health Clinic (I went w/ Jim, I thought he was going to get a flu shot or something; he was actually buying condoms. They totally thought we were doing each other), took another nap at the UGL, got dinner, & hung out w/ Zach for a little.

It was also a day for being offered rides, I must have missed the memo.

Encounter One: walking from my class to my car this white minivan stops me & I hear this guy asking if I "know where Joy Rd is." I say no & take a look at the two oh so classy wiggers w/ the backwards fitted & tattoos all over their arms & hands who possibly just got done smoking some crack as their lips had a white tint to it & no offense, but they looked like junkies. They respond w/ "oh, okay. Thanks. Do you need a ride somewhere?"

Encounter Two: walking from the conference to the UGL I pass a grounds maintenance crew & I make eye contact w/ a late 40something-ish worker. We make small talk as I pass by, a minute later I hear "do you want a ride anywhere?" Looking to my right I see said worker in one of those two seater John Deere smart car-golf cart hybrid hahaha

For the record, I turned down both offers but I thought it was funny that I was offered two rides in one day, which is the most I've been offered ever from strangers. If they had only said 'free candy'. Their loss.

You know, overall, today was full of creepers. Like stick guy from freshman year, he was at the conference as a guest & came over to talk & still remembered my name & everything, I was super surprised.

Every time our fridge turns on (as in the cooling kicks in) its moves. Hah.

So, the weekend plans are to study for dosage & patho. Mostly patho because I need to kill this exam, dosage I need to focus on too. Fun times ahead.

There are times when I like knowing when things will end (such as class) but I hate timestamps on relationships. I know there's usually an expiration date on each one we get into but it usually doesn't reveal itself until later on in the game when things start to go bad (like C. tetani in canned foods....I can't believe I just said that either, I'm such a nerd.) & I was asked if all but one relationship fails in some one's life (assuming he/she gets marries) then why date at all since the odds are against you?

For me, dating is all about the process of figuring out what qualities you like/dislike, what you expect out of a relationship, learning about yourself in a way that's only possible through interactions like this, & the general experience. When does the point come when 'this one's just another stepping stone for the real deal' to the 'real deal'?

I have turned into a girl.
