Had a strange day last Friday.
I'd been asked to be on a Diversity Task for the college and our first meeting is Jan. 30th. I'd been sick so for some reason I thought it was Dec. 30th...which was well last Friday. I actually made it in the building and to the room...on a closed campus. I was let in my one of the guys that was doing SWAT training that day. There was a whole group of them, all guys. They all looked at me while I walked past them, but didn't say anything. It only confirmed for me that I'm a huge dork, since the meeting isn't till the end of this month.
Went out to dinner and then to the mall with my cousin. While we were alone one of my cousins revealed that she's a racist. I didn't know how to take it. I mean she kept talking about how she didn't like 'black people' and how you can never find good confederate flag stuff at the mall. I thought I was going to stop breathing or something. She's always been so openminded so this an entire turn around and I wasn't sure what I was suppose to say. I was in shock a bit. I hope she grows enough to realize her error in thinking, but I'm not sure how to help her along without putting her on the defensive. I honestly didn't know what to say to her and am still unsure.
Before dinner I told my girlfriend I loved her, I'd been dating her for only a week so I was kicking myself about it. Luckily she said it back. I've said it once since then and am no longer feeling like an idiot for saying it so soon. This just feels like my first real relationship with another women...all the other were just dating and then that one abusive one I won't go into.
Erica, my girlfriend, and I went to see Brokeback Mountain and absolutely loved it. Luckily I'd picked up tickets as soon as I'd gotten off work because before we even met up there nearly all the showings were sold out, including the one we wanted to go to. Yeah for buying tickets early. I read the short story after I saw the movie and have to say that they did a wonderful translation of the story and I loved the way they fleshed it out. I wish I had the time to go see it again.
Also have to go up to the college tomorrow. I recieved an F in a class that I withdrew from. Don't know how that happend, but I have the paperwork that show's I withdrew in time to recieve a W instead of a grade so it should boost my GPA up one they make that switch.
