I had the strangest conversation with one of my friends last Thursday. He's actually more of an aquaintance, so that's why he'll remain nameless. All you gotta know is that he's an asian guy. So we have lunch together and sit down and I ask him how his classes are going. He then tells me his life story about how he failed two math classes, a chemistry class and a micro economics class. He tells me that he's going to get kicked out of school if he didn't get this form signed and all this other crazy business that just blew me away. I sat there and listened to this kid with a somewhat worried tone that he's going to get kicked out of school. At first the converstation made me feel bad for him, but then it gave me an almost pleasant/uplifting feeling. It made me feel good about my academic progress. I know what you're thinking. It's horrible to enjoy someone else's pain, but in this case it was fine. He didn't really seem to care, and quite honestly, he is really dumb. How do you fail the same class twice?

An update on the housing situation:

Remember that Alex and the rest of the crew are the guys that I want to room with next year off campus. And things have been going smoothly. Hang out with him every other day and play RE5 on his PS3. We go downtown and "hang," etc etc...But I may have missed an oppurtinity to seal the deal. This passed weekened, they invited me to go to LA with them. They were going to pass by Six Flag's Magic Mountain (best rides ever!!!), then hit up a party after. Pretty much it was an LA vacation. I wanted to go, but school got in the way, haven't seen my girlfriend in a while, and I didn't feel like blowing all my money so soon. So I told Alex, "Sorry, but I can't go". I was surprised at how upset he sounded when I told him I wasn't going. Yes, this is bromance at it's finest :) So I feel that even though I didn't go on the trip with him and the rest of the gang, he still views me as a good friend and a prime candidate for a roommate next year. 

There's going to be a birthday party at his place on Friday, (not his birthday, but another close friend of ours) which will give yet another opportunity to woo him. I'll let you know how that goes. Remeber guys, it's bromance so don't get any hot and sexy ideas here.
