College is sleep's enemy
It's funny how well you get to know people around here at BC so quickly. I've only known my friends here for a few months, and yet it seems like way longer than that. I think it's because I spend so much more time with them than I did my high school friends, out of the mere fact that we all live in the same area. I see all my BC friends constantly; I can't even avoid them at mealtime!
Avoid is definately the wrong word, though, because I enjoy every single moment I spend with them. Last night was a good example of this. Because of various things, my day wasn't going horribly well, and after 9:30 mass I was just planning to get my homework done quick and just go to bed so Monday could come quicker. Fortunately for me, my friends at Benedictine unwittingly changed my plans for Sunday night.
I ran into Tamara a little while after mass. Tamara and I hung out in the same group, so we decided to find Bobby, Rob, etc. and see what they were doing. My guess was that they were over at the McDonald suites somewhere, so we headed that way. Along the way, I had a nice long talk with Tamara about various things. It was good to know there was someone I could talk to, and I cheered me up a bit. We ended up talking for a good 40 minutes, and by that time curfew was approaching (Guys aren't allowed in the girls' dorms after the curfew, and vice-versa). We guessed, then, that they must've headed over to the Roost, and headed in that direction.
Tamara actually decided to go to bed along the way, so I grabbed my homework (yeah, still had some) and headed down to the Roost. Sure enough, Bobby, Rob, Karl, Jimmy, Claire, and Maria were there, all under the pretense of doing homework. We did homework for a while, but mostly just ended up hanging out for hours on end. I know I'm not going to hear the end of this from my parents, but me, Bobby, Rob, and Maria ended up staying up and hanging out until like 5 am. It was fun. Lots of fun. It put me in a much better mood, too. Being in a good mood and at the same time tired as heck is something you can only experience first hand, guys.
Thanks, guys. It's good to know I have friends out there who I can hang out with until the wee hours of the morning. You made my day, probabally without even knowing it.
