homework

i have spent the last two days doing homework for my stats class....on saturday i went to the starbucks, by pier one....it was a nightmare. the workers were loud and distracting....they yelled at each other across the store and really were unprofessional....

all the noise in the place made it more and more stressful for me to get my work done....i had gone there to try somewhere new. i stayed for 2 hours and didn't get too much done and really couldn't people watch :(

after i left starbucks, i went to target....there in target was goth girl....now, a friend texted me to tell me she was in target....funny that we were there at the same time....i didn't go looking for her, but came across her looking at cards....the best part- she was looking at halloween cards....of course goth girl would like halloween, makes lots of sense.....she saw me...took a look....i must be making an impression.

today, i went to my normal stomping ground- b and n....i sat at the table and had it to myself for a little bit....then annoying boy came along....yeah, the whole table is empty and he HAS to chose the chair across from me....then he proceeds to shake his leg, which shakes the table....he sighs loudly alot and keeps moving....then he pulled out the earbuds....at this point he starts to shake his whole body as he must be trying to keep beat to his music.....whatever it is, the beat doesn't seem so great. finally, i was sooo annoyed, i asked him to stop....actually it went like this, "excuse me, can you stop? i mean moving and shaking and breathing?" yes, i did ask him to stop breathing....i meant the sighing but i had it....he looked at me, packed up his things and left....well, at least i didn't have to deal with that anymore....

the homework itself seemed easier today....i felt somewhat more relaxed...though i did send the professor an email telling her i was overwhelmed and could she meet with me before class....now this is the same woman who told us that we would all get at least B's....but i can't feel the B....

as for the other people....the sleeping man was sleeping again today! there he sat in a comfy chair, just asleep.....no magazine today....no book....in my head i have decided that he really can't stand to be home with his wife for too long....so, he comes and sleeps.....there was also a couple speaking a different language....it was interesting watching everyone stare at them.....as they chatted away.....

here is the big break through- goth girl talked to me today! that's right, words came out of her mouth directed at me....and they weren't to ask me if i was done looking at something....actually, it's not that big of a break through- i helped her figure out what the cost of something that is 20% would be....and she told me that math wasn't her thing.....and then she asked me if i was a cop- i had my wallet out....so, i explained that to her.....not a huge interaction, but she smiled....not something i have seen her do alot.

other than stats homework, my group also has to teach our org. devo class tomorrow.....our one goal- be better than the other group....we have a powerpoint, have tied our talk back into the reading, and have a great group activity....let's hope we kick some butt.
