Got a Spare Man and Then Some

Dear Player One:

I accept the minimum of 500 words on these posts although now that it is late at night and my post is due tomorrow I fear that it will hang over my head.

My past week has been rather exciting in both a positive and negative way. First the negative, creepy stories from the town life. First, upon visiting the local convenience store I was quite surprised that a man in his 40s start talking to me while I was purchasing some sour patch kids. He expressed a like of the candies but then came to the conclusion that I would not share. He promptly stuck his tongue out at me and walked out of the store. A strange even that would have been perfectly normally if the man had been a child under 8 years of age. The second event concerns my daily ritual. I have gotten up each morning and headed to get breakfast. The little bagel shop is right on the way to my class. Wednesday there was a tall man in perhaps his 30s. He stood behind me in line for a time and then tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was in the ACC. I said no and went to pay for my food and left. Thursday started in the same shop. He stood behind me again and asked me the same question and I told him no again. After I paid for my food and I was waiting for my meal, he tapped be on the shoulder again and asked if I was at the movies last night. I informed him no again, got my food and left. I’m not quite sure what to make of all of it, but this town if full of some really unusual people.

I really miss having dinner with people. I have started to make an effort to go out with my classmates. I have never really liked to eat meals alone. It is a rather depressing experience. I hope that my furniture comes soon although I suspect I will not be able to schedule it until the weekend for it to be actually delivered. I am rather frustrated that the company that IKEA hired to deliver it has nothing but terrible reviews and nasty comments on their page. I hope I don’t have any problems but I really can’t say I would be surprised at this point.

Now the positive side is I got my first project done and I got a group for another project. We as a group seem to click pretty well. The idea was worked out relatively quickly and I got to sit and do what I really like to. I have gotten a chance to dabble a bit more in animation which is always fun but I certainly need more practice doing such things.

I’m really looking forward to the weekend where I can just play some more games in the quiet of the computer laboratory. I don’t think it will as hectic as last weekend where all the groups were scrambling to pull all of our projects together.

I miss the waffling hour. I think I’m going to go try to buy a big box of waffles this weekend. I guess I’m just a creature of habit and I really don’t like to change my routines.

Your,

Player Two
