no longer coatless

I'm done with two finals. Hooray!! I already found out that I got a B+ in one class, so that's good. I registered for classes for spring semestre as well. I'm taking French 101! C'est magnifique.

Afterwards, my roommate and I went to the mall to buy presents for our friends from the pool hall. They're good people, and they're twins. We did the Kris Kringle thing, and our limit was $5. You have no idea how hard it is to buy a present for $5 or less. It was cool though--they got the idea from their church group, and people end up getting interesting things. I got my friend a Hello Kitty eraser pen and a little sparkly stuffed starfish. It's so cute. L. got one of those paddle ball things. You know, that paddle that has a string tied to it and a ball on the end. The ball lights up, it's actually pretty cool.

We went to Macy's, and I finally found a winter coat! It's so cute. It's wool and has a hood and it's black. It was the only one there, it was in my size, and it was on sale. It really was fate. The lady at the cash register wanted me to sign up to get a Macy's card, and at first I wasn't sure. Then, she told me how much I'd save, and so I went for it. While I was standing there, this little girl to my left caught my eye. She was maybe 6 or 7, and she was wearing my grade school uniform. It was so bizarre. It was perfect. She got it down right to the blue cardigan. She was following her Mom around, and she disappeared from my sight. It made me feel so old, yet so happy.

We ate dinner at the food court. I had this strange feeling of deja vu because I saw this guy eating dinner that I was so sure I've seen before. He looked at me, and I looked away. We sat down to eat, and then I realized where I've seen him from.

Over the summer, I got the chance to go study at Cambridge University in England. It was this study program for American kids, mostly ages 13 to 18. Right, Catherine? That's how Catherine and I met. : ) We got to take classes at Cambridge and go see the sights around England and all that. Loads of fun. Anyway, this guy I saw at the food court was in the program. I remember seeing him whenever we're at the museums and all.

So, while we were eating, he walked by and kept on looking at me. And he had this bizarre face that seemed to say, "Do I know you? How do I know you?" He kept on turning around and looking at me. I kind of thought it was funny, so I just kept smiling at him whenever he looked at me. I thought it was so hilarious. He was with some girl too, and the girl kept turning and looking for what he was looking at. Anyway, if he hasn't figured out by now where he's seen me, it'll probably drive him crazy. Haha.

Two more finals to go!
