This Is The Second Part
Back to where I left off… so I called the registrar’s office and she said she had no idea what the billing department was talking about. She then suggested that I call the summer sessions phone line and at that point, I was so frustrated and I was so upset, I started to yell a little and she was literally going to hang up on me. She told me to calm down and whatnot, and I was trying to ask her what I was supposed to do. I was so upset that I started crying and it was stupid and horrible. She tried to get it sorted out, but in a way, I felt as if she was talking down to me because she said she couldn’t understand why I was so upset and couldn’t understand my frustration with all this crap.
All I want is my money so I can pay rent and bills.
I was so upset that I had to delay my date with Asian Dude because I didn’t want him to see me so upset. I wanted it to be a fun event and not be bogged down by my emotions, so I waited about an hour until I felt better, or not so upset.
We finally met up and then walked up the (stupid) hills of Berkeley to get to the Rose Garden and also to the concrete slide. Yes, I said concrete slide. It was actually a pretty long slide and you can go pretty fast on it. Since it was a little narrow, I was afraid. You had to grab a piece of cardboard in order to go down (or else your ass would hurt a lot). The first two times I went down, it was a little scary and fast. I felt like I was going to fly off the slide! I skinned my elbows a little, but I survived. The third time I went down, we did it back to back. He faced forward and I faced backward. It was too scary so I closed my eyes on the way down and near the end, I ended up falling back and knocked him forward a little. It was scary, but fun, kind of like a roller coaster.
Afterwards, we ended up walking back to the south side of campus and at a Korean restaurant that he liked. It was good food and I hadn’t had Asian rice in a while, so it was nice. We didn’t want the night to end just yet, so I suggested we get some dessert. I asked if he had had some frozen yogurt from the most popular frozen yogurt place and he told me he hadn’t. I was so surprised! It’s a rite of passage at Berkeley to have eaten there at least once (unless you have health issues) and he hadn’t, so that was our destination. I stole his frozen yogurt virginity. We sat in the cafe/sandwich shop right next to the frozen yogurt place (after having bought something because they didn’t like people coming in with outside food). We sat and just talked for a good two hours? Maybe more? I think we sat there for a long time. According to my restaurant receipt, we left around 7, so then a good 2:30 hours of just eating the frozen yogurt and talking.
It was a fun date. Both were fun dates. I do feel a little bad because I know that some aren’t always comfortable with the idea of dating more than one person at the same time, but again, there’s nothing serious yet and so I have to remind myself that it’s really okay.
I may or may not see Asian Dude later tonight since it’s his last night in town until he returns next month for summer school. The nice thing is that he ended up getting summer housing at the dorms and the one he was assigned is right up my street. BART Boy and I will meet on Tuesday, assuming that nothing else pops up.
And as for today, the day has gone a little better. I had a feeling that my hair would irritate my eye again, so I was prepared with my own headband and bobby pin. I am really tired though. I did a lot of stuff in the last two days and I didn’t get a full night’s sleep at all.
I have to remind myself that I really have to make my last few sessions with my doctor really beneficial. He wants me to test out the medication some more and in the last few days, I haven’t had the time to sit and read, but right now, I think I may have an hour to spare and try to read. I think I may read one of the books that I’ve been meaning to read, but never got to it. Hopefully I’ll read it. I have problems with carrying out my intentions sometimes and that’s quite bothersome to know that. It’s strange. I’ll get into it later maybe.
