Since today is a very short day, I feel this space is appropriate for an episode from my day. In these posts I've mentioned a girl named Arya quite a bit, and how she was a great friend in the fall but since then became, to mince no words, some kind of whiny bitch. I'd stopped thinking or caring about our friendship when today I saw her in the hall on my way to English.
"Oh hey," I greeted casually. "What are you doing here?"
"Hey Kernohan!" she spoke, casting glances at people filtering around us. She gave me a routine hug. I did my best to reciprocate while still holding my sandwich. Oh by the way, I had a PB&J sandwich in my hand that I was macking on during the entire conversation. "What's up?"
"Not much. Lots of work this weekend."
"Yea, it's kinda brutal. But three weeks and then it's done! Senior spring is great; I pretty much partied the whole time. Kernohan, you remember how much I partied?"
I did not. But as soon as I saw her I knew something like this would happen. I knew I would say something along these lines. Every time she's come up in my News Feed I think thoughts very similar to what I replied.
"Uh," I replied, holding my hand in front of my mouth and trying to enunciate through peanut butter, "I remember you just cried to me about your boyfriend a lot."
She seemed taken aback.
"Ouch, no need to bring that up." Her face was at the same time confused, shocked, hurt, perplexed, and disgusted.
I didn't care. I shrugged, made a 'whatever' face, and walked down the hall to class.
I got me some closure, bitches.
And I'm out.
Day 50 (written day 51)
Breakfast... toast and eggs. Spanish class was- you know, here's what I remember. That's what I'll do. No more class-by-class. Just food and rememberances. I cut down one tree and processed like 10 in wood crew, finding my glasses in the process. My hand was hurting. I believe I had the first conversation with Hallie in a while. She, Shizue. Chelsea, Jay, Jake, Steph, Rosii, Rebecca, and others were in the dining hall. I made tea in a metal cup, but poured it into a yellow cup to prevent heat. The activity was Tragedy of the Commons. I worked with Shizue and Sarah. It was alright. Not terribly intriguing. I sat next to Kate and Kyra. Dorm meeting was fun, lots of “Operation 'cepsilon-tepsilon-fepsilon'.” Lunch was leftovers, and dinner... damn.
i love how important food is.
