I must say that March is well on its way to becoming a very exciting and eventful month. It began with a rekindling of activity between my old friend Ashley and me. She called me last night at about nine. I had an exam this morning in medical history that I had read for periodically over the weekend. I felt somewhat confidant, actually I felt really weird like I didn't know whether or not I cared that I had a midterm the next morning. I figure that I am usually so use to having to cram that actually knowing the stuff in advance baffled me. Anyway, I started cooking spaghetti early which takes forever and had just finished washing the dishes when Ashley called. What perfect timing!!!
She has a big test coming up in religion this week and said that she just can't study in her room with all of her roommates there. She asked me if I needed to study and whether or not I wanted to go study somewhere with her. Of course I did and jumped on the opportunity to study her alone in Turlington. Whoops! I meant study with her in Turlington! My bad! All of this right after Edward decreed that I should trim my hair and shave and try to start impressing Ashley because she'd be worth it. Of course my intentions are almost fully friendly but I leave little room for the unknown in Ashley's case.
We talked every once in a while about our relationships and I was coming up with some wonderful analyses of the problems in her relationship. We talked about Shar¡ and I as well and she made comments relating Ashley and my feelings towards each of our "lovers" as being very similar. We agreed how our emotions are both controlled by every whim that our significant others make. We fooled around quite a bit as well as I looked through my calendar and showed her things about Shar¡. She filled in a note on her birthday which I have already memorized and plan on doing something special for her. She also complained that I didn't have her middle name written down and told me that it is Michelle.
During one of our later breaks I think we were flirting just a little bit. She got up and was writing stuff on the chalkboard. She wrote "Hi Dan!" in big bubble letters and I joked that he probably won't get the message from where he is. She pouted very cutely and erased the exclamation mark and wrote my last initial. It was funny. She then erased that and wrote "I LOVE" and I looked at her as she paused and thought out an appropriate finish. She ended up drawing a giant question mark which really made me happy and relieved. We joked around and talked all of the way home and promised each other we'd study again tonight. I finished my test this morning somewhat confident of the material and bullshit mixture I spit out. As I was walking home Ashley's Jana walked up behind me and we walked home and talked. We both told each other that we had just finished an exam at the same time and we laughed about the jinx. We were talking about her and Jamee's wedding plans on May 28th after I let her know that I indeed knew about their existence. We had a rather good talk and I was glad.
That reminds me of my call to Ashley last Friday. During one part Laura got nosy and Ashley fooled her into thinking I was the other Daniel for a minute. We then were talking about Shar¡ for a second and I heard Laura ask if I was going out with that girl again. I said what does it matter to her because she would have never gone out with me in the first place. Ashley repeated the message to which Laura replied that I never asked!!! Oh well, I don't regret my choice in Shar¡ at all.
I rather enjoyed myself in lab today as my teacher handed back our unknown analysis schemes. I almost immediately filled out my form to do my unknown and he asked if I had any comments on my scheme and then he realized his error and said that I know what I am doing and sent me on my way. I did really well and was happy. I had a really good time observing Shar¡'s blond twin, especially her backside.
After dinner I napped for about fifteen minutes when the phone rang. I fully expected Ashley and was fantastically relieved to hear Shar¡'s beautiful relaxing voice on the other end!!! I had won my own mental battle!!! I had waited her out and let her call back without giving in to the extreme temptation to call her. I fully set myself up for the letdown in case she didn't after it seemed like she wasn't too thrilled to talk to me on Saturday and how usually she only called after being incited by me. I blabbed most of the time about stuff I have done lately and we joked around a little bit. I asked her which picture she wanted me to send in my letter and she said the one of me and Ashley because she wants to see what her competition looks like up here. It was funny but it seems like spring break might actually work........ No jinx please!!!!!
Ashley called during my conversation and I headed down to her room not long after Shar¡ and I hung up. I had started doubting Shar¡ a little today and was finding I might actually be able to live with that decision and she somehow knew to call at the perfect time. I was willing to go full out and tell Ashley all of my doubts about Shar¡ until a lot of them were erased by her call. I was so glad though that she called then and actually caught me at home so the waiting would be over and I wouldn't be worrying about it all night instead of studying. I actually studied for my chemistry exam which isn't until the Monday after spring break but I am being smart this time and am planning far in advance. I even told Shar¡ what I was doing.
I sat and chatted with all of her roommates for a little while and Jana went and showed me her town's newspaper announcement of her and Jamee's wedding plans. I brought Ashley a big article from the Tampa Tribune about the Phantom of the Opera which she really loves. Laura frowned that I didn't bring her anything. Ashley and I soon headed out. She always goes to the wrong door and I told her that she always undoes my attempts at getting the door for her. Once realizing she had she apologized and was better about that all night.
We were talking later about how I would fully expect to pick her up and walk her home next year if we study together, and said it's common courtesy. She stopped and said that it's just been such a long time since anybody has been courteous to her. I made the comment that it was the same for Shar¡ and that's why she's coming back for more. That was really sweet though what she said.
