Dear anonymous,

Recently, I met a guy at school at a TEDx conference through a mutual friend. We had a good day and he managed to get my number by very stealthily getting a photo with me (on my phone) and asking me to send it to him. Not sure if that was his actual plan but, either way he got my number. He then proceeded to message me to ask me to hang out when I was on campus one day. Since I'm only there once a week we waited until Thursday but, we ended up hanging out for a couple hours. To be honest, I was really nervous because he is really funny and sweet and great looking (cha-ching!) so I had my friend "run into us" and she ended up spending a couple hours with us, too. All-in-all I had a really good time and we have been texting back and forth since.

This week is majorly hectic for me: one homework assignment, two in-class finals and also a 6 page literature review. Three of the four are due on Thursday. Awesome. So when he asked me to go see Catching Fire with him this week, it killed me to say no. Instead I told him that we could go during our exam break because I would have more time. Well... turns out I am not the most scheduled human being and I have two papers and another final that week. This is what happens when I go to school at two campuses at once - two campuses that have different calendar days.

Either way, I am thinking I'll get him on a Friday and we can hang. I'm being social for once and I am actually enjoying myself! It's going to be a long week ahead but, for once, things are looking okay. I am connecting.

Love,
Michelle

Sidenote: Had a ridiculous "fight" with my friend that same Thursday I hung out with this guy. I replied to her the next morning saying I didn't want to half-ass a response to her while I was busy. She has yet to reply. We'll see where this goes.
