'Tic-toc' goes the clock...

It's Wednesday and I can't wait until this weekend. I'll finally have the opportunity to do things that make me happy and not have to participate in activities that are mandated by others. I need 'me' time. So, what's been going on with me for the past couple of days?

My grades aren't looking good at all. I feel like I'm not getting it or something. It's like the material that I'm missing is fairly simple stuff, which makes it even worse. After reviewing over the answers after taking the test(s), it all makes sense. It's when I'm taking the test(s) that everything seems to just jumble together. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm in the right field of study. But, when I'm in a situation where I'm dealing with people like I will in my profession, I feel right at home. It's like I have the the people smarts, but the book smarts are what I'm not able to retain. With time, I hope it gets better. But sadly, I know that time is not on my side when it comes to academics.

So, Moore spent the night the other night. We acted like we always do, but he didn't mention the card like I expected him to. I was beginning to wonder if he even read the card. I ended up dozing off in my bed as he fell asleep on the floor.

Jenee calls me up yesterday to see if Moore responded to the card. I tell her, "Nope!" She then says that she's going to call him to fish for some information, and of course because I really want to know what he's thinking, I allow Jenee to call. She hangs up with me and proceeds to call him...

About twenty minutes later, Jenee calls me back and tells me that she asked Moore what he had gotten for Valentine's Day (to get information on the sly). He tells her that he received a card and banana pudding from me. She asks what the card said. He doesn't tell her. She says, "I only know that one part says, 'This card is for your eyes only' because that's what she had told me when I asked her what she was writing." He chuckled at her remark. She then asks what he thought about the card. He says, "It was fine......well, I wasn't really shocked by what the card said; I saw it coming, but I was thrown off by the timing. That's what's really getting to me because I've never been the one to be thrown off guard and she caught me with my guards down. So, I really need some time." Jenee asks, "Is that a good thing or a bad thing? He replies, "That's a good thing." Jenee then asks, "Have you responded to the card?" Moore says, "No, I haven't. I need some time to think about things. I don't want to go to her without having everything together. It can't be one of those twenty minute conversations. I need to have a long conversation with her; one of those all night conversations."

So now, I'm caught off guard because I'm wondering what the heck does he have to think about and how much time he needs. It's weird knowing that something is coming, but not knowing when it's coming or what exactly is coming. Jenee asked me what I'm doing this weekend. Aside from me having 'me' time, I don't have anything else really planned. Hopefully all the time that Moore needs will be had by this weekend so maybe we can have an all-nighter conversation. But then again, good things come to those who wait. So, as hard as it may be, I'm going to stop being selfish about this and give him all the time he needs...
