Another Friday down
Today has turned out to be an interesting day.
We had our test for MS Word 2000 today (yeah, we only spent 5 days total on this, but it's just an intro course, AND they're 5 hour days dedicated to JUST Word).
We were allotted 3 hours to do the test. Most people finish in about an hour and a half.
15 multiple choice (a-d) questions, 10 true-false.
Then 2 documents to format. One was an advertising poster, the other a short research paper to be done in MLA format.
We were given disks with the files in question on them... but as plain text. (this was to save us from having to type them out. The test was about using Word to format stuff, not typing)
We had to use Word to format them properly (bullets, bold, double-space, etc) and then print.
So yeah. An hour and a half average to do this test.
I was done in under 20 minutes. And part of that time was waiting for the teacher to get the disks with the plain text files. And reloading the paper in the printer.
Yeah, I was first done. Turned out I lost one mark on the test... 49/50 - 98%. Combined with my marks on the other assignments, I should have a 95% or higher. Not that it matters... the whole thing is marked on a pass-fail system. 70% is a pass. OK, fine, it matters to me.
I'm disappointed with myself, actually. I should have aced it. And Tina wouldn't tell me what question I had gotten wrong. Oh well.
Christine had more trouble, but by 3pm she had finished and we were out of there. We're normally supposed to be in till 6pm. Yeah.
But between my finishing and Christine finishing, I talked to someone else who finished early for a while. We shared our mutual loathing of Arezoo, an Iranian woman who has the market on "fucking annoying as hell" cornered. She's friendly and earnest... but she's sickly sweet, comes on too strong, doesn't pick up on cues, is kinda intrusive (like with Christine missing class yesterday. Arezoo wanted me to phone HER and let her know if Christine was OK that night. Uhhhh NO!).
And she's a cheater. She copied the work of the woman next to her. The WHOLE time. Except when she was copying someone else, like Christine's work. Even Tina noticed it, after Arezoo started handing in assignments that were IDENTICAL to those of the woman next to her... right down to the TYPOS. Ugh, she's annoying. She drove me up the wall yesterday.
But yeah... I was in the back waiting for Christine, when Steph comes out. This is the one I mentioned before... I think she likes me. Every time I look at her, she's either looking at me with a huge smile or buried in her work... But on Thursday, she seemed to be looking at me EVERY time I saw her. and didn't break off eye contact either. So I think she might like me... but I can't tell. Ugh. I hate being socially dense. She's a very quiet person, so I don't really know anything about her. But she's cute :) I think I might be interested in something with her... but that takes time to really discover.
Ye gods I'm turning into a womanizer... first Christine, and now Steph. And the only reason I haven't made a move on Susie is because she's happily married. She's just a fun person, and very good looking despite her age (she's older than my mother). *AHEM* OK, back on track here...
Yeah, Steph. She came out and complained that it was all too easy (the class), which I agreed with. We talk for a bit, and I let her know I'm interested in getting to know her better, and maybe we could just talk and stuff sometime. She seemed open to the idea, and let me know when I could call her... which is now on my agenda for tomorrow evening. Who knows, maybe I'll even see her Sunday. She lives down in Vancouver though, so it's quite a trip. Of course, I was visibly shaking by the end of this... paranoid I was coming on too strong
What's going on with me? I'm forward and flirty with not just one but TWO women, in as many weeks... this is highly unlike me.
What's really scary is the idea of being involved with TWO women... scary in the sense of "this is Jayson, this never happens to him and never will".
Triply scary? They're both in the same CLASS. What the hell am I getting myself into?
So, er, yeah. Christine. Right. Hehehe. So yeah, we got out nice and early, and headed straight home. The only thing on the agenda for tongiht was to watch Big Trouble In Little China. Which we ended up not doing after all. Go figure.
Now that her teeth are out and thus not hurting her, Christine has been able to eat real food again. And has been exceedingly hungry, oddly enough. So the first thing on her mind when we get here is "so, whatcha gonna feed me?". So we hit the kitchen, and she started to poke around my cupboards. Of course, despite being someone with a strong attitude, she's always very polite and respectful. So she was only shifting stuff around instead of pulling things out. So I ask "you'd pull things out to see what there was in your own home, right?" She agrees. So I tell her "You're home, start yanking". The process sped up considerably after that :)
So in the end, Christine cooked us both a FABULOUS pasta dinner. Made the sauce herself from scratch(ish). Got all the ingredients from cans and mixed them up. Cooked the sauce, simmered, etc. It was an AWESOME sauce, despite being tomato-based. I stuffed myself to capacity on it. I <3 Christine and her cooking. and we're still tenatively thinking stir-fry later on.
And she did this in a house that I felt "didn't really have anything to eat".
She ended up finding some other various stuffs which became even more gifts to send home with her. Things like jello powder and suckers I didn't like.
She always comes away happy like that.
We ended up having dinner, then sex, listening to music, chatting, more sex, doing computer stuff, burning a CD, yadda ya.
Have discovered that while Christine does not like kissing, she is otherwise VERY touchy-feely, which is good for me, because I sure as hell am that way.
I feel more confident about us... our compatibility is quite high, and seems higher by the day. I like how things are going.
That pretty much sums up Friday for me.
It's 4am, and I need sleep now. But before that, we need some Florida Election humour!

::::coughing::: uh wow
Re: ::::coughing::: uh wow
OK, I'm a wannabe womanizer :)
I like getting to know people, but I wouldn't mind getting to know Steph a little *ahem* better... but who knows if that'll pan out *shrug*
I'm plenty happy with Christine in any case.
I do not have any "game". :p
I don't even have women skills... not conventional ones at least. Every woman I end up with basically happens as a result of "Palmer is around, woman decides she likes/wants him without him doing anything, or trying, or even being aware of what's going on"
*shrugs*
We should chat sometime :)
