I’ve discovered why I’m waking up so ridiculously early in the mornings. It’s the exact same problem as I was having last semester only I fixed it last semester. This semester I can’t. That sunlight just comes right through the shades like it’s nobody’s business. I need to get like a scarf and tie it around my eyes so I get a solid night’s sleep instead of having the sun getting all hot and bothered because I’m not out of bed yet (haha, get it? Hot and bothered? That was a joke… ‘cause the sun’s hot… okay yeah moving on…)
In other news, I did homework. Well I feel like I didn’t really get on the ball about it immediately, but I did review for my Mayan Civ test and started my rural anthro essay. The essay is due Tuesday so I still have tomorrow to work on it. I wrote a page and a quarter but I got in 5 authors which is the requirement so now it’s just a lot of flushing…lots and lots of flushing out.
Around 5 or 7 something like that. Maybe 6? Chelsea called and we went to this place called the Antesala which is a little café reaaaallly close. It’s adorable, and quite possibly a new favorite place. It was just a really nice ambiance. I’m pretty sure it’s almost coffee-shop-esque, just with the quaintness being replaced kind of with nice-ness. I don’t know how to explain it.
But we studied Mayan Civ for a bit until I was restless and had had enough. Then we were going to go back to our houses, so we spent 30 minutes standing by the street talking about Mexican boys (haha) and decided to grab some popcorn and a drink from the Extra and head to her house to chat (at which point the conversation was a little less light but that’s okay).
And that was pretty much today. I’d say over all it was a relatively uneventful weekend. I think a breakthrough was made on the “why do I feel like this conversation is not quite hitting on but definitely not just friendly” question. The answer is there’s a difference between an interrogation and a conversation, a conversation being when there’s an equivalent exchange of information (everyone knows the law of equivalent exchange, right? (sorry sorry, another lame joke)). But yeah, it doesn’t make your skin crawl if you’re having a normal conversation with a guy if you’re getting information in exchange for yours. When it’s just a lot of questions about you, then it leaves you feeling a little creepy like you were just checked out or something without the overtness of it. I don’t know it’s just weird. If it ever happens/happened to you you’ll/d know what I was talking about.
Cheers <3 Kate

How nice that you have discovered a new place to hang that is close to your house. It sounds very nice, wish i could meet you there. Maybe take a pic and post it. So you didn't give all the details of the "interrogation conversation" Did this take place while you and Chelsea were out?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got out and had some time with Chelsea. It's good that you have a friend there.
I love you every day Sweetie!! xoxo MOM :)
The interrogation conversations are more of an over arching thing, not one in particular. They tend to take place when you're talking with a [mexican] guy and things just seem a little weird like you're not sure but you feel like you're being checked out even if there isn't anything you can really point to to say "yeah he said this to me" so nothing like "you have beautiful eyes" but something's just off. I'm pretty sure when these conversations happen they tend to be more like "let me dig for all this information about you without revealing much about myself"
ReplyDeleteYour new place sounds nice and cozy and a good place to hang out. Glad you found it.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you have a nice friend like Chelsea to have girl talks with.
As to this "interrogation conversation", lets face it guys are from an entirely different planet than us girls, but I think you are finding that out. I think sometime, guys don't know how to carry on a back and forth conversation, afraid they will unvail to much about themselves. So, all they know how to do is to play 20 questions,keeping themselves safe.
Well, thats all the wisdon I have tonite. (ha,ha)
Sending lots of warm hugs and love...Grand :)
Wow I think I was cut to the quick by Grand. LOL. I think Grand has something there though....Sounds like a book....'Men are from Mars and Womenare from Venus'
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! Love ya! ~Papo
Hey, get you one of those eye things that you wear around your head at night to keep out the light.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, a lovely little coffee shop. That sounds like a nice place to hang out. Kinda like Friends had their Central Perk.
OK,I have to agree, there is a marked difference between interrogation and conversation when it comes to talking with a guy. Anywho...we have all taken part in that game and verbal exchange at one time or another.
Love and big hugs...Aunt Dawn
Aaawww,c'mon Kate, just say "why do you wanna know Amigo, huh?" and that will freeze him up! Just because a guy asks a question, don't mean to say you have to answer, play cool and mysterious! Right Bob?
