Dear Dairy,
I had been meaning to write you for quite a while now, but it seemed so difficult for me to put pen to paper. Now that I have started however, be sure that I will definitely not stop.
Well, I think all I can offer you for now is a summary of my previous week. Last week proved to be a bitter-sweet experience for me, and I sincerely hope that this week will bring much better.
As expected, the results of our last semester examinations were released. Some, I passed well enough, while some were not so good. Would someone please tell me why I feel like I never read when I know that I put in my very best? I guess it is because some things happen just for happening’s sake.
I am sure that now that you have learnt the sad part of my week, you are interested in finding out the happy part right? I can’t wait to tell you either.
Well, there is this cool guy I’ve been crushing on for quite a while now. Sincerely, I can’t pinpoint what the attraction is, but ever since the first day I saw him, I couldn’t stop thinking about his cute smile.
Anyway, it was on Monday morning that all my fantasies seemed about to come true. I had an 8am class and couldn’t wait to eat at the hostel to avoid getting late for class, so I decided to eat at the faculty cafeteria. Somehow, as if the gods were on my side, my prince charming just happened to be in the same place.
There he was at the counter, about to pay for a plate of food. I gave him a cursory nod, while willing my pumping heart to go back to its normal rate. Quickly, I ordered my meal, wiping my sweaty palms against my blue flowered skirt, hoping that he hadn’t noticed my shaking fingers. “Why was he still standing there? “ I wondered. He should just carry his food and find a seat.
Surprisingly, he offered to pay for my meal. I was too nervous to say thank you, I just smiled as I carried my plate and took a seat on one of the cafeteria’s white plastic chairs. He took a seat opposite mine and ordered two bottles of soft drinks. Then we began to chat as we eat.
Actually, that was the first time we would ever talk to each other, not that I haven’t had a thousand conversations with him in my dreams. In fact, for a while, I wondered if I was still day dreaming. All through, I was stuttering like an idiot, am just so glad that I didn’t do something stupid like knocking down the bottle of drink, or dumping a spoon of rice on myself.
Anyway, by the time we finished eating, we had exchanged phone numbers and BBM pins. You cannot imagine how happy I am right now. Though, I wonder if I should be thinking of dating when I have enough of my academics to think about. Nevertheless, that wouldn’t stop me from meeting him for a date next week.
KEEP IN TOUCH TO FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WEEK……
