I apologize (to whom? my future self?) for not updating in so long (twenty hours - phew!), as I have either been busy or had no Internet access. I never did get the issue with SMS updates worked out, so all my posts have been made from the computer, which is a bit clunky.

Last night I went to dinner and ate alone. Then I went to the play and picked up my ticket (Zach had reserved one for me). I talked to Zach a little while he sat in the light booth, then sat down and read GenderQueer: Voices from Beyond the Sexual Binary until the play started.

The play (The Trial of One Short-Sighted Black Woman Vs. Mammy Louise and Safreeta Mae) was fantastic. I cried at the end, when they were calling out the names of all the slave ships. The cast was crying too.

After, I talked to Zach a little while about meeting up once he got out.

Went back to Wheeler and passed a bunch of people from my hall. They convinced me to go to Macado’s with them. I did, and felt a little bad because I was basically blowing Zach off.

Macado’s was okay. The waitress was frazzled and the service was slow, and I feel that sometimes when I hang out with the people from my hall (They are all conservative, naive Honors students) I become a spectacle, which is uncomfortable.

Texted a bit with Zach during dinner. Originally he was going to just go home, but he decided he wanted me to be with him so we arranged to have him pick me up afterwards.

After dinner, Zach picked me up and took me back to my room, and I got my things.

We went to his place. He ate, and I read. Then we were both tired and we went to bed.

Slept and dreamt about horses being ridden by smaller, more human-like horses

Woke up and did the morning routine with Zach.

Got dressed and Zach took me back to my room. I printed out my English assignment that was due and went to class while he crashed in my bed.

English class was boring and uneventful.

Went back to my room as Zach was leaving. I shaved my head and face and took a shower, which was nice because it had been a few days.

Printed out a second copy of my English assignment.

Went to get coffee from the cafe in the library. It was a beautiful day and I was in very good spirits. Went to Philosophy class.

Philosophy class was heated. We talked about the second platonic argument from death and the discussion gradually deteriorated into a debate for or against the existence of anything beyond the material world. I joined in the discussion more than I ever have. It’s sometimes hard to get a word in.

Went to lunch and ate and read the New York Times while waiting for Zach and Stephanie. I was about to leave when I saw them walking in.

Ate lunch with Zach, Stephanie, and a guy we didn’t really know. It was a nice lunch. I ate some spinach leaves.

We left D-hall and I went to the library and put my things down and went to the bathroom. I had to pass solid, but I was uncomfortable to because there was someone in the next stall. They didn’t leave, though, so I had to get past my embarrassment of making noise.

Then things got weird. I hadn’t heard anything happening in the guy’s stall. Then I noticed the top of his head. He had been looking under the stall at me. I got weirded out and high-tailed it out of there.

Set up my computer near a big window that overlooks the door to the bathroom. I read the news while I waited for him to come out. It was about 30 minutes before he finally did. I don’t know why I was so interested in knowing who he was.

Read the news a little more, then remembered that I hadn’t updated in a while. Wrote this entry.
