So I was irresponsible tonight and went to group instead of supplemental instruction. It was a really good time. I was glad to have gone. It was just really nice. For a change, I didn’t feel out of place or anything. I was kind of worried that I would feel out of place, like I so often do there, but I was wrong, thankfully. Scott and Mike were both there tonight so that was an added bonus!

At the end of group Aaron did a childish, “I do this theatre troop thing for everyone out of my own free time, and I don’t get respect” or some sort of rant and said “fuck this” to the whole thing. That was really immature if you ask me, but he’s going to give it another go. My respect for him went down a notch, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s still learning how to work with people, and I’m no expert by any means so I have little room to talk.

On the positive side of all that, Ashli got really emotional over the whole thing and ran out. Linda handled the situation so amazingly, awesomely that I gained more respect for her. She’s really an amazing woman.

Afterwards, we all went to Java Joe’s. Well, “we all” means Betsy, Mike, Scott, David, Brian, Alex, and Tyler. I don’t know Alex and Tyler, but they seemed nice. The thing was, that for the first time in a long time the whole atmosphere there felt like family again. It didn’t feel cliquish or ackward, just like family. It was a really great feeling.

Craziness.

Friday Dean and I went to the mall and did something else that I can’t remember, followed by eating at Spaghetti Works. It was much yummier than I had planned it to be, and Dean got his Spaghetti Works craving that he’d been having for like three weeks.

Saturday I went to work. Work was hella busy. Between 11 am and 5 pm, Kim and I helped over 80 people. There was no where to put anything. I had to leave to go to the much dreaded pumpkin carving party, and Kim left because it was actually her day off. Corey decided not to actually close and there were five tall, blue carts waiting for me Sunday morning.

After work we did go to the pumpkin carving party. I was not looking forward to this at all, but it was important to Dean, Daniel, and Monica Lee. All in all, I actually had a very good time. I didn’t try the sushi. I figured that since I don’t like seafood and since it could be crawling with some kind of bacteria, I’d just leave it be. Maybe some other time, when I’m feeling more adventurous.

Dean made the coolest pumpkin, though! it was a house, with all of the windows cut out. It had a jack-o-lantern and a tree next to it, and maybe a gravestone too; I forget. He left the outsides only dug into so that they would glow. On the back, I carved ghosts that looked like chicken feet so that they would shine out the back. In the end, there were ghosts on the wall and there was a spooky-looking house on the front. Way cool.

Sunday, I worked late, but everything got done. Kim and I rocked layaway hard. I got home from work at about seven and went straight to bed. I got up at nine this morning, and went to physics. I left my physics book at home, so I’ll probably just go to group this evening and visit everyone. My theory is that I’ll have the most time to make up for lost supplimental instruction now.
