tea_and_inkThat's what the best friend called me today...
I have never been able to sit still for five minutes in a row, and this is a very-well-known fact to all the people around me. So today we had this conference, where the Uni's dean talked about new dates for mid-terms and other issues that I did not pay attention to because I was too busy counting the people in the audience... then I started tapping my pencil on a friend's chair (she's very patient with me) the best friend pulled the pencil from my hand, so I started kicking the foot of my chair, he also stilled my foot.
Then I started humming, people. Humming! The poor guy almost pulled his hair off his head. I feel sorry for him, I know how annoying I can get. Problem is that to this point, we weren't even through half of the damn thing.
Long story short, the best friend is in possession of two pencils, a hair band, a key chain (with the keys still in it) and a bruise on his left arm (in my defense, kid bruises like a peach!) that he took from me.
Also, in our Social Studies class we were told to enumerate five objects that defined us. Interesting yes, not very tricky at all. Until you're informed that we had to write about each other. As in, pick a friend in the class and write about them.
It was nice, I enjoyed it.
My friend (the patient one) wrote about me:
1. white converse shoes
2.1997 daily planner
3.messenger bag
4.photograph camera
5.green bracelet
And then, we, ourselves, had to explain why would sb else would think that those items defined us. I found the entire experience very thought provoking, unusually challenging, because I had to see myself through the eyes of another person. Granted I've known this girl since I first walked into campus four years ago, but still, its weird when you compare your view of yourself with another person's. It kinda helps you know yourself better, I think.
Btw, I'm still a bundle of energy, for the utter annoyance of people around me. Needless to say that my ADD is working its magic on me. It took me 30 minutes to finish this post. What does THAT tell you about me?
