Because I don’t want to write my paper. And because I’d rather write this.

Tonight I made the trek from CP to the HBLL, pioneering through the April snow for the sake of my Critical Analysis. After 4.5 minutes of soft, white, fluffy cold, gray, snow blinding me as it hurled itself at my face, I arrived at the library and sauntered over to the “new” no shh zone, aka the place the library “allows” you to eat snacks. This section of the library has extremely relatively comfy arm chairs that make studying (almost) enjoyable.
So there I was, minding my own business and using the worldwide source of knowledge to search for useless info and mind-numbing news before I dove into my paper with a belly flop - when who do I see, but a very attractive boy out of the corner of my eye. And I think to myself, “too bad I’ll never get to know him since it’s the library, but I welcome him coming to the library so I can appreciate his splendor while I attempt to study”.
Well, after a few more side glances, I realize that this splendid looking boy is in my ward. And I start to think along the lines of, “glad this doesn’t have to end at the library” and “I get to see you in white on Sunday, unlike the rest of the suckers here” and other selfish thoughts.
And, during one of these (few) side glances, he catches my eye and waves to me. I wave back (yes, I was that coherent), already happy that he noticed and recognized me, when he COMES OVER to where I am (yes, a whole 30 feet) and pulls up a chair and starts talking to me. Whoa – not expecting that, but who am I to complain?!? We talk about tabs, TV shows, CP’s slow internet and writing papers (or the lack thereof in my case). After a few minutes, he puts the chair back and goes back to “psych it up” with his study group.
Yes, just wanted to share this Momentous Occasion (or Marie Occurrence – just realized they have the same initials) with you. The odds that Marie notices a cute boy, realizes she already knows him, he recognizes this fact and comes over and pulls up a chair and talks to her – are slim to little.
I hope you enjoyed this experience as much as I did. :)
