The Met trip was yesterday. The night before, Hannah was free and by herself for once, so we hung out on her bed till 1 or 2 in the morning :) Hence the slight tiredness on the day of the Met trip. We had to be down by the Saville lobby at 730am. I was on the non-Tate bus while Hannah, Nisa and Liz, Owen and Adam, and, of course, Tate were on the Tate bus :((( Haha and yes, the buses were separated into Tate, Non-Tate, and Intro to Academics people. So I sat in the second row next to Bunk with Will in front of us :)
Bunk, Will and I teamed up and went round the museum together. Honestly, were it not for Will, we would've taken 1.5 times as long! I saw Emile, Adam and Owen together. Whenever I said hi to Emile, he'd give a weak smile and look away to the side in that "oh, I don't want to look at you" way -_-'''' I guess he was right about things being awkward. Whatever awkwardness is mostly on his part, though, I swear! He's the one always looking away or not keeping the conversation going. And eventually I give up and don't talk to him unless I have to (hence my own consequential awkwardness). Hell, I have generally been able to gloss over such awkwardness in the past.
Anyway. We took a lunch break at around 1130 by the hotdog stands littering the outside of the building, and split up for the essay portion about 3 hours later. I picked "Bronze Statuette of Eros Running". I haven't started on it since it's due in 9 days haha.
The buses made a 20 minute pit stop at some turnpike place, and Will, Bunk, Alex, Hannah and I had Roy Rogers :) A few minutes before the break was up, Tate came and got Alex and Hannah going, since the Tate bus was leaving earlier than we were. She patted me on the back and chuckled and went, "Not you. You don't need to hurry." at my pitiful, harried expression haha.
The five of us plus Kaye the cool 2nd year animator watched The Adromeda Strain in Bunk's room when we got back! And then the first two episodes of Arrested Development. That series should never have been cancelled!
And then we dispersed and Hannah and I went back to the apartment. At the lifts, she fake punched me. So I fake punched her back and she licked my knuckles EWW! I spent the rest of the walk back to our room wiping my hand on her. She's lucky we're such good friends or I'd seriously be
so irked! We hung out and talked on her bed again after I showered (because it's more comfy with furry blankets and more than one pillow). And fell asleep.
I woke up at 1pm and was just like SHIYETTTTT because that's when I was supposed to meet Anthony! He had been waiting upstairs for awhile :/ But anyway, once I got up there, we watched Tekkon Kinkreet and walked around the barrio in the cold. And then his buddy Ian and his wannabe aggressive 13 year old cousin picked us up in his cool new sportscar.
We had dinner at this nice TexMex place called the Border Cafe, dropped Kyle (the cousin) at his friend's place, picked movies up at Ian's, and watched them at Anthony's. We only had time for Blood: The Last Vampire - which was really freaking short - and Dead Space, which wasn't very good at all. The script was rubbish, full of statements that were intended to be cool. The gore was fine but didn't really stand out.
They gave me a ride back to the Saville after.
