An Appreciated Kindness


So I'm sitting in my class: History of the Civil War Era, and there are two things you should know about this class. 1. I love it and was stoked to get in it (ok thats kinda two things, but very much related so I'm counting it as one) and 2. It is an hour and half long. Despite my love of learning about the civil war 90 minutes is a long time and some days I just don't have the endurance. I took excellent detailed notes the first half of class, but couldn't make it through the whole period. The last half of class I dozed off a little and did weird stuff- like WEIRD. I wasn't just day dreaming or staring off into space k, I was looking at the ends of my hair searching for split ends and ripping them off when I found one, I buffed by pen, and I wrote out all 14 syllables of my name in cursive about a billion times. I don't know... I have no defense for myself. Then we get to the end of class and the kid sitting next to me, his name is Boyd- we've talked casually a couple times-, says "hey do you want me to email you my notes?" I looked at him slightly confused and he continued to say "well I noticed you didn't take very many"... I was super embarrassed and I stuttered out "y-y-you would do th-that.... umm. wow.. ummmm... yea... that would be cool.... ummm... thanks. see you Tuesday. and then I rushed out- like bolted for the door, first one out of class style, and it was correct that I said I'd see him Tuesday, but stupid because before Tuesday comes I'll see him in class on Thursday. Needless to say I've vowed to take outstanding notes the rest of the semester and I hope Boyd notices. I can't believe he watched me buff my pen for 45 minutes...or that I really was buffing my pen in public, or at all for that matter. Anyways I'm glad there are sweet people like Boyd in the world to help me out and not make fun of me. My next moves...1. help someone out like Boyd helped me and 2. take really good notes in civil war class.
