"Strange things occur on Mondays"

Never have I said something so true. Well, haha, I don't know about that. And, to be fair, it was in hindsight.

So. Today. Just an average Monday; well, actually, that's a lie. I slept in too much, and I wasn't prepared for my chem class so I think I bombed the quiz. Not really an auspicious start. And I was supposed to have an appointment with the eye doctor since I haven't been in almost 5 years, but that got cancelled. Luckily. Why 'luckily'? Because I totally got to see Nick this afternoon. And not only see him; we had a 20 minute conversation. In front of my house.

Okay, so my sister Jessica (bless her) got a ride home from an orchestra rehearsal from him. And me being a devious, plotting female, I planned on going outside to play my guitar for a bit, until she got home so I could see him. And I got sunburnt, waiting. But it was totally worth it, I swear.

I had only expected to see him from where I was sitting, but Jessica came up to me after she got out of his truck and was like, "He wants to talk to you." Mmm, so sweet when things pay off like that.

I got the big, looming questions out of the way first, things like how he was doing on his senior project, what schools he got accepted to, etc. I was so surprised by how the conversation seemed to flow so easily; it seemed so natural, just talking to him like that. You have no idea how satisfying that is.

So yes... and I think I'm finally going to tell him on Wednesday at the orch concert. If not, then possibly Thursday, at the band concert. But I need to do it this week. Because if I don't, I won't ever get another chance. And with a Humanities midterm also on Wednesday that's worth a HUGE percentage of my grade.... oii. Stressful week. But, and it's weird for me to be saying this, I'm trying to be optimistic about it. In fact, I haven't really felt truly angsty since last Monday.

...Yeah. Definitely weird.
