Adios feminists...

Today was the day. The bane of my existence, the explanation for all the long nights at the library,  the reason for my sparse blog entries. Today was THE DAY of my second ECONOMICS midterm... no bueno.




It was also the first day I've ever been walked home. I'm not saying I'm in love with the boy because let's face it Greg and I just didn't "zing," but now I know what it feels for someone to "not want me to walk home alone in the dark." As much as I love my 15 minute walk home from the library at 11:45 pm each night (not knowing if I will be raped, or brutally murdered) I have to say, it was nice not to be alone. So I'm not saying that I am completely giving up on my feminist notions that "I am a strong independent women that doesn't need a man to validate me," but I am definitely rethinking some things.
In true Bruno fashion, I accidentally made the boy walk 3 blocks out of his way, but he seemed okay with it. And for good measure, I went home and put on my 50 cat lady shirt, and went to get snacks at 10 pm. Classic. (ALMOST sister missionary for the win!)

I think the best part about this situation is that good ol' Greg doesn't even know that he brightened my day. It wasn't romantic---all we did was talk about school---- It wasn't elaborate. It wasn't even that awkward (and this is me we are talking about).

So thanks Greg for the simplest walk home that shouldn't mean this much... but it means a lot. I guess "I'll be seeing you."
