Twice in a night

I have a critique on Thursday for my fashion design class. I have A LOT of work left to do. If Amanda (my teacher) asks what I do with my time, I'll tell her this: my time is usually spent in small amounts, to a large number of different distractions: eating, playing around on the internet and people I live with. That's all part of the experience, right? (the people I mean)

Anyway, tonight while I was eating dinner Rakib said something amusing. He has recently learned that he was pronouncing a fellow flatmate's name wrong. He tried 3 or 4 different pronunciations and finally concluded with, "Ah- it's just easier to call her hunny." I was amused.

I go to the library a lot. It's open 24 hours. I cut back on about 65% of my distractions here. I've seen a guy here a lot, it seems we're always here at the same time. Usually we just kinda look at each other, sans any facial expressions and then look away and carry on with our business. A very slight acknowledgement. I also see this man when I'm leaving/returning to my flat sometimes. Again, we will look at each other for a few seconds- sans expression and move along.

Tonight I saw this man on my way to the library. I was going to make a brief stop at a flat before leaving, the same flat this man was leaving from. I said hello and asked him a question regarding the gathering going on inside... he didn't really hear the question. So I introduced myself and noted that I seen him often at the library. He made the same notation and introduced himself- as Hunny. I figured I didn't hear it right and/or it was some kind of cultural thing. I asked if he was going to the library- he said yes, I told him I'd see him there.

We chatted a bit at the library and soon found out- Hunny is not really his name, but it's easier to call him that. Once I tried to nickname myself SweetPea, it didn't work- "Hunny" probably won't stick for him, but it was amusing never-the-less.

Also, I just heard that I didn't received a scholarship I applied for. =( I always feel like a failure after reading emails like that. *sigh*
