P103 day 1 at 25mu: felt hyper and finally got my paper written

Thanks Bella. :slight_smile:

Okay, day two.

50mu p103 11AM

I definitely felt that rush again. It either disappears after a couple minutes, or I become used to it and don’t notice anymore. We’ll see if tomorrow is the same.

I walked into class late. I didn’t put in my contacts so I needed a seat close to the board. I also didn’t want to have to squeeze past people so I was looking for an open aisle seat with a right handed board. I ask if the seat is available and the guy tells me that it’s broken. So I just politely squeeze past them and go all the way to the middle.

At some point in the class, I’m bored and I turn around to see who I can see. I catch eyes with the ‘snack girl’ (ref: journal) and nod to say hey. She smiles back. I thought I should try and stick around to maybe talk to her. Instead I decide I should be on time to my next class and head out the door.

As I’m getting out the door, my friend calls me. He’s registering classes and he wants to know what electives I’m taking so we can take classes together. I don’t know what section discussion I’m taking, so I tell him I’ll text him and look it up as I walk to the store. In the store, I almost walk into a girl, smile, say excuse me and slip past her into line. As I’m standing there I watch her walk back and forth, as if she’s lost. Eventually she finds her stuff and gets into line in front of me with her friend. The whole time she’s standing there she’s playing with her hair, sticking her leg out of the line and arching it, shifting around back and forth from leg to leg. I caught her looking back a couple times. I won’t make assumptions, just telling y’all what I saw.

As the line moves forward, I get thoughts of food and start looking at the snacks they have. I almost forget to get my muscle milk. I grab it as I move forward.

Fast forward to my econ discussion (12PM). Our TA is handing out our midterms but he has so many he just hands me a stack and tells me to go ahead and look for mine. A girl walks up next to me, waiting to get her test too. After going through a handful of tests, I look at her and hand her the tests that were not mine. I this several times. I don’t know if it was the way I was handing the papers to her, but she seemed to palm my hands a couple times. By accident I guess.

The discussion ends, I ask my TA for clarification and he explains it in full detail. We end up walking out of the building at the same time and the whole time he’s just telling me that this test shouldn’t be too tricky and difficult. I guess some people have been telling him that it’s hard. I assure him that he’s instructed us well, and we part ways.

I go to my last class (1PM), my note taking was really off because I didn’t have time to copy all the key terms from the board. I couldn’t get a close enough seat and without my contacts it was near impossible to read the board in low light. Anyways, I make it through and I talk to my TA about my paper. I turn around and my friend is waiting there. We walk out together and just bullshit about whatever, talk about the paper and how much it sucks. :slight_smile:

I’m hungry and want some real food (2PM). I go to the commons and get in line for some pasta. There’s only one guy prepping the pasta for two lines and he’s going back and forth. This one girl gets skipped because of that and I just look at her later and smile, she smiled back. Left it at that.

I noticed a cute girl next to me, I just made an off hand remark about the guy having to work twice as hard since he was alone. She replied with, ‘yea he seems real nice.’ Uhm..non sequitur? Okay. I decide to not talk to her anymore. The cook cooking in my line is pretty friendly and I talk to him now and then. I noticed that they went back to the old plates and I asked him about it. We joked about how some people might actually care. I joked around, pretending to be an irate student. He got a kick out of it. Apparently he has nicknames for his cashiers because he calls out ‘Giggles, that one has extra meat.’

I get home (2:30PM), and procrastinate for a while, some friends come over (4PM) and we smoke. We play some big two, cod 4 and just bullshit for a while. I procrastinate a little while longer thinking I’m about to go to the gym soon. I get a call that the gym is going to be delayed because my friend needs to go to an appointment he thought was canceled. So I bullshit for a little longer and finally get to my paper. I get a significant amount of work done by the time my friend shows up to go to the gym.

We go to the gym (9PM), I’d say that we talked more than normal. To the point where it was a little distracting near the end. Still put in good work, it just took a little longer than usual.

I come back home (10:30PM) and shower up. I finish up my paper at 12:30PM. I go out to celebrate and smoke a blunt with the homies. :smiley:

And now I’m here, writing this report.

If I had to characterize the conversation with p103, I’d say it’s brisk. People seem to say what they want, but allow others to have their verbal space as well. But every moment is filled with chatter, the focus of the conversation just skips around.

I don’t know if the IOIs and subtle hand touching is p103 related or not. We’ll see.
