Rewind about Seven Years

Today I woke up and went to the Rec center where I ran two miles. Ok, I'm done bragging. You should know though, it felt AWESOME!

I had an excellent day today. After I woke up and worked out, I took a shower and promptly went back to sleep until it was time to go to class. I only have two classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and they're back to back from 10-12. After class I went to Eleanor's psych class because I really enjoy psychology and wanted to get a sneak preview of Psych 105 which I will be taking in the fall. After this I went to work where I had a smooth and easy day. At 3 I convinced Eleanor to hang out with me some more (it wasn't hard, I'm pretty awesome) and then Amanda came over before we all headed to the dining center for dinner.

Dinner was really the best part of my day. It was like we were back in middle school, we talked about boys. Not only did we talk about boys we looked at them also. I believe in middle school terms we were "boy watching". For those of you who know Amanda, you can imagine what happened. For those of you who don't I will now describe it in great detail so you can use your imagination for the hilarity.  (I suppose now is as good of time as any to tell you that, just like in middle school, we have code names-- I prefer to call them nicknames-- for boys. Really we have them for lots of guys in our lives but if a boy is especially nice, cute, or one of our friends has a crush on him, it's a safe bet that he has a nickname) The first thing that happened was I noticed Bswizzle (yes one of us has a crush on him) getting some water. Amanda had never seen Bswizzle before so I thought she would appreciate my pointing him out. As I was watching the students move through the cashier's line, I said "Hey Manda, Bswizzle is getting water right now" he was the only boy getting water. Instead of calmly looking over to where the water is dispensed Amanda half stands up and says (a lot louder than she meant to) "WHERE!" Of course everyone one at our table turns and looks at this poor boy who may or may not have seen me and the rest of my friends staring at him at this point.

Now not only did we see Bswizzle, but we also saw Whatshisfacenumberone (yes I know verrrrrrry creative name for him) within the next ten minutes. Amanda has seen this boy before but none the less, she wanted to sneak another peak at him. So I suggested she put her tray away so she'd have an excuse to walk by him. Of course following girl code when one gets up at least one more has to go with her. We trudged to the tray return while (less than) casually sneaking glances at him. Everyone seemed to not get caught except for me. A ninja I am not.

All in all, I had fun goofing around and acting like a middle school twit around cute boys. So, when faced with the option of being a complete spaz or playing it cool ask yourself this: 1. Will anyone see you being a complete and utter dork that has an impact on your future? 2. If this is the case, would this person seeing you be your true self (you know I'm right) cause significant damage to your academic, or professional life? 3. If the answer is no, but you're still afraid for personal reasons; do you really want to have a personal life where you can't be yourself?
