Emily and I have taken our Chemistry test, which is a major relief to finally have done. It has caused quite a bit of stress this weekend. When I got home from studying with her Sunday night, I decided to check the date for my Alpha Lambda Delta inductions. It was about six in the evening. I had received the invitation a couple of days ago but had never read it. I was shocked to find out that they were held at three that day and attendance was mandatory for membership! I called the girl's phone number, and fortunately she said that if you missed the inductions, you can come by their office on Monday to get your certificate and pin! Thank goodness! Once again I slip past a seemingly impossible barrier easily and unscathed.
Emily called me, and then came over a little while later so that we could go on our date to the movies. We decided to see Jack the Bear with Danny DeVito. It was a pretty sad movie, and she cried towards the end. I think it's really cute, and when I smile at her when she's crying, she gets really bashful. She'll then try to keep me from looking at her. It was hard to relate to for both of us though, because it is about a family where the mother dies, the father is an alcoholic, and thus the kid is pretty tormented. There was a really cute little kid in there that made you laugh every time he said something.
I would have been thrilled to be there even if they hadn't played the actual movie. Not only because I'd be with Emily though, there was something better. Not really better, but really cool. They had a huge Kumba promotion going on with Busch Gardens and AMC theaters. They had posters and signs outside announcing that it is finally open! The track is aqua, and the coaster is yellow. It's four people wide which is very cool. I signed up to win free tickets as well. And then the beautiful thing happened. They showed a virtual reality ride on the movie screen, as if you were really riding on the Kumba!!! They showed the entire ride!!!, and it's awesome!!! the graphics were spectacular, and the scenery in the background even looked like real land. I was very impressed. I'd love to have a copy of that video! I can't wait to ride it. I hope I get my job soon.
We then went to a place called Bono's which serves barbecue. We each ordered a very big and delicious steak burger. We had a good time laughing and joking throughout dinner. We were telling stories, and I was listening and enjoying hers, without any urge to make fun of them or to make a sarcastic comment. She told me how her family went on vacation to San Francisco when she was seven. Her father bought her an old brass horn that she fell in love with at a shop, and she walked around with them in the streets blowing her horn. She continued to do so at home, and said that these German neighbors, who she called Nazis, used to call the police to have them tell the little girl down the street to stop making so much noise. It's cute picturing a seven year old Emily. I'd really like to see some photos. She also told me that they were on vacation through one of the big parks out west. They had stopped to take a picture, and as her dad would always tel her, she locked all of the doors to the car. Thus they were stuck at a scenic lookout because Emily had locked the keys in the car. She said that her father was very pissed off!
Bono's had a little section on their menu called porch snacks. We jokingly wondered if you had to eat those outside on the rustic little porch. It was really funny. We sat down on the porch as we were leaving to get the full effect of the Bono's meal. It was funny and we were having a really good time. After we got back to my room, we decided to go to the hospital to study. There's a place called the Blue Room where med students study. It is supposed to be quiet, but we joked around quite a bit. We were reading and playing around with each other's date books. She was sad because there would be nobody here this summer for her to do much with. I wrote down the day in August when I am coming back, so she can be happy once again. She told me that her parents are buying a new house up the road from where they are now. She wrote down her current address and phone number, which I pretty much knew anyway, in my leather planner. She did write down that it is subject to change! There was one free space left, and I told her that she could write in her measurements, but she wouldn't.
She also wrote down for me all of her free weeks in the summer, just so I'd know! She then filled in her birthday, and wrote me little reminders throughout the month that it will be coming. She said also said that ANY present will do! On her birthday she wrote:
Emily's 21st Birthday!
Party @ Dan's, His money, My I.D.
You never know what might happen on a full moon!
It still gives me goosebumps. Chris was all happy and gave me a high five when he read that one!
We have suddenly started making sexual jokes and references to each other all of the time this weekend. She mentioned how she has done it before, which helped overtake my too careful attitude with her. I didn't want to offend the `innocent little Catholic girl'! She said that Nick thinks of her like that and thus she acts like that around him. I'm not quite sure when it started, but it seems to be after the quarter fell into her underwear, and I asked for it back. We would occasionally joke before, but it was usually more mean than sexual.
We started writing on each other's arms and hands while we were studying. I was even writing on her notes, and she doesn't complain whatsoever anymore. I still had a faint trace of the under twenty-one stamp from the Coliseum on my hand. She wrote `Under 21, not even close!' on my hand. She usually won't let me writ eon her, but this time she was going to. When the time came, I couldn't think of anything good to write! She was then actually begging me to write on her hand! She said something a little derogatory, so I wrote our favorite saying on her hand, `Bite me!' She asked me if it were an invitation or a demand!! I told her that it doesn't matter, because I'll benefit either way! It was raining when we left to take me home.
I planned to meet Emily in the library at three yesterday. It didn't take me long to find her, and it didn't take long for her to start crying either. She had just found out that she did really bad on her calculus quiz, and her biology test. That wasn't helped much by the fact that we had a really hard chemistry test in just two hours. She keeps having serious thoughts about changing her major, but I'm still against it. It doesn't matter if you do perfectly now, if you do much better in your college when the courses really count. It's similar to my doing less than perfect at the beginning of high school, and then not ever thinking I had a chance at valedictorian, which was obviously a misconception. She was pretty upset though, and I really didn't know what to say.
We studied as much as we could for the chemistry test, slowly but surely starting to have fun and make sexual jokes. For the longest time, I had my leg crossed, and she was leaning over towards me using it as an armrest. That put her head about a foot away from mine as we talked, face to face. We were reading about osmotic pressure. I suddenly came up with the perfect little realization. I told her that since our skin can be considered a membrane, looking down at my leg and her arm, then were osmosing with each other right now. She laughed and pulled her arm away, saying that she has cooties now, but it wasn't long before she was back. It was a really funny tension breaker.
Sometimes she'll be really warm, and I'll ask her why she's so hot! She'll say it's genetics, or some other cute remark, and then I'll play along like her looks were what I was actually referring to. It's fun. I was using her thigh to warm up my hands on occasion. I jokingly admitted that I was just doing so to touch her leg, and we laughed. I also kept playing with her bra. If she's mean, I'll pretend like I'm going to snap it, although I never would. I told her once that I didn't plan on snapping it, I was going to pop it open! She gasped in surprise and started laughing. I was doing it one handed, too. She asked me if this was from experience, but I failed to give a truthful answer.
It made my day as we were walking to the test and she told me that I always have this surprising way of cheering her up! I really liked that compliment...
Hell struck again after our test. It was really hard, unfortunately. She was stressed out again because she still had to type a biology lab through the night which is due today. Poor baby. We just collapsed on a patch of grass and relaxed for a while, trying to forget the worries of the world.
