Like I hoped for, Thursday went well. :]

I forgot to mention, another favorite thing about Thursdays. It's uniform day!! And that is great, even though me and Tori still have not yet found our uniforms to wear on this beloved day. Some day, we will. We also decided that it should be mandatory for Firemen, Policemen, and other type of uniformed-careermen should wear their uniforms around campus as well. We can only wish.

I did something great today! I rode my very first Aggie Shuttle. :] It was an experience, let me tell you. I didn't have anything to do after Institute (which was amazing p.s.) so I told Tori I would go to her house with her before our class together at one thirty. This was an adventure. So, she decided which stop we were going to wait at, and we walked there. It was cold outside, no surprise, and so we waited inside this building with other shuttle-goers. We chatted while we waited, and then finally the big blue shuttle pulled itself to the concrete curb. (I felt the need to specify that our curbs here are concrete. Not cement. Cement is indeed an ingredient in concrete. Oh man. I'm a nerd.) We walked up to the shuttle with everyone else, and climbed on. I was fascinated. We sat next to each other, and it was just like something right out of a movie. :] There were all sorts of people on the shuttle, one guy, get this, was even reading a newspaper. It was splendid. We rode it all the way to her stop, and then got off. But that is not where our shuttle adventure ends. We ate lunch at her house, got her stuff together, and then ventured to another bus stop. This shuttle was much more crowded than the first, and I actually sat between strangers. It was a big step. Tori was kind of far away, and I kept had to making eye contact with her every time the bus stopped so I wasn't left on there completely clueless and helpless. It was so crowded on this one that people were actually standing up, holding on the the rails that run above the seats. It was great. There was a very peculiar girl standing in the stairwell next to my seat, she had on a very neon yellow beanie, and a very random outfit. She was carrying an American Eagle bag, and I'm not sure why she stood out to me, she just did. We actually had to transfer shuttles on the way to class, and that was a big step. All in all, it was quite the adventure, and I'm sure I will have to do it again sometime.

Our other adventure of the evening was a little outing we were invited on. :] One of Tori's friends from her math class, and our Institute class invited her to go bowling with some of his friends. She accepted, and then asked if it was alright if I tagged along, cuz she didn't really want to go alone. It turned out, to be a little bit awkward. It was kind of set up as one big triple date. Which doesn't really work for me. However, it went well, and wasn't really like that at all, and we all were just hanging out. The best part of the entire evening....are you ready for this? (And I'm excited to be able to do this, cuz since I bowl with Troy most of the time now, this is RARE. :] ) I won. :] I beat everyone. It was splendid. After bowling we ate some ice cream and played MarioKart, then we came home. It was fun.

I'm glad it's the weekend. :]
