My German class is going well. It's not a cakewalk, though it's not incredibly difficult (yet), but I'm enjoying the class a lot. I realize this statement is probably very premature, in view of the fact I've only started German and intend to tackle several more (difficult) languages thereafter, but if the experience continues to be this fun and engaging into future semesters I may have finally found a field in which to major.
'Course, it doesn't hurt there are three very cute girls therein. /smirk
I actually have the inclination to befriend two of them, one of whom I'd like to try to build something more with. She's got a little bit of a punk (?) look going, with little clear plastic stud-like things piercing her bottom lip and a small black half-ring in her nose. There is one thing that kind of turns me off about her: she has roughly checker-sized black disc things in her earlobes--the kind that are literally inside the lobe and stretch it out around them--which I'm not the biggest fan of. I don't know whether those things cause any kind of lack of sensation, but the lobes are so much fun to suck on when teasing/fooling around, I just don't understand why someone would want to deform them like that.
Not that I judge her negatively for it. I still think she's incredibly cute, and in what few (after) classroom conversations I've had with her she seems receptive, it's just one of my own personal hang-ups that exists for whatever reason. I'm certainly not going to let it put me off getting to know her better.
I'm still trying to hang out with Shelly (a girl I met in my dance class last year) when the opportunity arises as well--though those opportunities have been rather few and far between, and shaky when they do pop up. We've made plans to hang out four or five times now and it's always fallen through; going to the Circle Lounge for some sushi last night having been the latest example. We're planning to try again this upcoming weekend, though, so I'll just have to wait and see if this one finally pans out.
Finally, I know this is exposing what a huge geek I am, but then.. I am that huge geek, so that really doesn't bother me. I just gotta' say, a co-op Dynasty Warriors marathon with Ty is about the most therapeutic thing in the world. It doesn't matter what's on our minds or bothering either of us; we fire up the PS2, slaughter a couple thousand mooks Exalted-style, and all our troubles just wash away and everything feels all better.
