I had one class today, Introduction to Psychology. I don't mind the class to be honest, it's usually pretty interesting. My professor, Professor Meyers, is the definition of scatterbrained yet it's always entertaining and somewhat insightful. It's also comforting to see that someone else's head is more scattered than I feel mine is half the time. It went by fast and I had the entire afternoon off, until 330PM when I had to go to work for the night shift.
What else is new when I say I spent the day with Andrew for the most part. He wasn't in the greatest mood, so it was difficult to be around him without snapping back. But I didn't want to push him the wrong way, I tried to hold my ground and just understand that today was an off day. It was absolutely GORGEOUS today in Burly too! It may not have been super warm, but it was around 40 degrees and wonderfully sunny.
Since I had so much time off, I sat out on the front stoop of McDonald Hall with my book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I hadn't sat out on the stoop and relaxed since back in October or November, it was nostalgic to be sitting between the pillars all curled up with a book. No one was there to join me, but I was 100% okay with it. So many memories from the beginning of the year flooded back into my head. Those first few weeks, night after night, on the stoop with everyone in McDonald, constantly laughing and getting to know one another while getting to know ourselves. I remember wondering what each relationship would develop into, it was so much fun. I was reminded of when Christian and I would sit, just the two of us, and talk about life over a cigarette. But now it was just me and the stoop...and Dexter, everything is different. Not in a bad way, but everything changes.
Work was a lot different today. Usually on the night shift we call prospective students and ask if they have any questions about the school, basically if we can help them make their final decision by offering a student's hand and prospective on things. Tonight, we spent the night entering code into a program called Datatel. It only took about a half hour and my co-workers and I spent the rest of the shift, unsupervised, and watching Youtube videos.
I took a few minutes to wander Perry Hall, where I work. The sun was setting and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The sun was spilling through the windows and splashing every wall through the glass doors and against the polished wood floors. The pictures don't do it justice, but they're pretty.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I could live in such a beautiful city and go to a gorgeous school. Perry Hall is a beautiful hall as well, I find it hard to believe that I work there. I really feel like a part of the school working there and being there, working at night, when the hall is sleeping...it's just wonderful, I love it. I took five minutes to sit in one of those rocking chairs and just watch the sun set, then headed back to work.
The day concluded with vegging out with Andrew and Lauren in my room. Andrew finished up some homework here because his room was occupied with people watching movies. Now I'm about to call it a night, since I need to get up at 730AM tomorrow. Kill me now.
