"again????" you may ask. yes, it is so. this is because i "re-met" stefanie and katie in the same weekend (maggie's party double-header). i have hung out with both of them, but things are going better with katie, hanging out-wise, and conversation-wise too. we have engaged in the "not spending money contest" it is hard to say who won...although i spent no money at all, and acquired a free futon and got money back for a text book, she DID get a $150 housing deposit back. however, she also broke down and spent money on a candy bar one day. i think she is the victor, she thinks i am. on wednesday (?) we played miniature golf, went for ice cream and walked around campus. i did the walk in bare feet, and my soles are still recovering. last night was our long awaited bake cookies/listen to albums/watch rushmore night. it was fantastic even though i burned the hell out of the cookies (i am also very glad i got a futon). today will be spent worrying, despite the fact that i very well may have something here. next weekend i will be out of town from thursday until sunday. it will be great to spend time in the dunes with corey and matt, but i will probably end up being a pain in the ass because katie is only around on weekends, seeing as she is taking summer classes up at grand valley. therefore i will not get to see her. summer classes are just one of many bonds we have going. well i am going to go and be hungry but not eat now.
