A Break

It is 9:45 PM on this Thursday night and I am just hanging out here in my room with nothing to do (yet). I don’t have any classes tomorrow because of the UF Homecoming festivities and that makes me very happy. I have a lot of homework to do this weekend for dynamics and fluid mechanics so that doesn’t excite me. I guess I will have time during the football game on Saturday afternoon. Sunday will be devoted to homework too. Doesn’t that sound like fun? At least the time before then is going to be fun. The first thing I have to do tomorrow is go to the homecoming parade at 1 PM. Gator Growl is tomorrow night (I’m not sure of the time on that) and that should be a blast. I’ll write a full report of the weekend on Sunday provided that I have enough time between homework assignments.

Stuart wanted to get some new clothes for his party on Saturday night so we went shopping. It wasn’t like going to the mall or anything because we only went to Old Navy and Goody’s. I promised myself I wouldn’t take a boyfriend shopping before we were engaged because it would scare him away, but this wasn’t the same thing. Actually, Stu bought a pair of pants and I didn’t get anything so that’s makes is rather humorous. For some reason all of the shirts at Old Navy that I liked were lacking any small sizes. I guess they had been picked over. Anyway, I enjoyed shopping with Stu and I tried not to bore him. Women are usually prefer to browse through stores while men know what they want and go directly to it. It’s a funny thing to think about.

Right now I am waiting for Stu to call and tell me what’s going on at his place. I have an overwhelming urge to be with him. I guess we haven’t had much time together this week and I would like to spend some with him. When we don’t get much time together it’s like I get Stu withdrawal. Stupid schoolwork. He did come over to the house last night to work on our intermediate engineering analysis homework, but that’s not that same. Stu’s friend RJ was supposed to have a party tonight, but it was cancelled. I can’t wait for Stu’s party on Saturday night. I get to dress up and look pretty and that’s always a lot of fun.

The weather here has been crazy. As with all Florida winter days it is pretty cold in the morning, but my mid-afternoon you don’t need the jacket you put on earlier. It’s annoying sometimes. Recently you aren’t sure whether it is going to be summer or winter weather. Yesterday it was cold all day, but today it was significantly warmer. In most places the weather makes up its mind and it will be cold everyday in the winter, but not in Florida. Everything is unpredictable between November and February. Last year the first cold day we had was during final exam week (mid-December), but we have had cold days already this year. Whatever.

OK, I guess it’s time for my to get going. It is 10:15 PM now and I have no idea what I will be doing tonight. I am watching “Scent of a Women” on TV waiting for the phone to ring. This movie is strange and sad. Anyway, I hope you guys are going to enjoy your weekend as much as I will mine.
