I'm Just Not That Into You

Summer Session 1 is officially over. I have to turn in my take home exam for sociology on Monday, pick up my History Paper on the same day and then take my final exam on Thursday. Until then i am wrapping up things at work, lounging around in my room, and feeling a little queasy and excited about the whole "entering the real world thing". Whatever that means.

After the small misunderstanding with Kathleen yesterday we patched things up before her week long vacation. She brought a curling iron to work today and offered to do my hair. I in turn gave her my pink sharpie and told her what had to eat last night. How simply we resolve things.

I was suppose to get Sushi with Debbie Downer tonight, but she has a history of "bad cramps" which literally renders her incapable of doing anything but sulk in the corner. She leaves work early at least once a month due to these cramps, and no one seems to care because as soon as she leaves we can do whatever we want.

Last Friday we went to a Chinese Restaurant but had to return early so she wouldn't make an complain about 7 out of 15 employees taking a 2 hour paid break. Today, since she left early, we took the liberty of a 2 hour lunch at the best little Asian/Southwestern cafe i have ever been to. I was hesitant at first with the description but surprisingly my beef burrito and Korean dumplings were the best thing i have had in a very long time. Last Friday we invited Stef-en to come along. Amanda only asked him, so she could taunt me through the whole lunch with "look at what your boyfriend is eating" "Oh you guys got the same drink".

Even though Stef-en is beautiful, built, and dresses nicely...he's not a very popular person at the office. So today when i asked who was going on our lunch trip, Stef-en name was not only absence but Amanda made a face when i mentioned his name. He has quickly gotten on everyones nerves through a series of events. He's sort of random ( speaking with a British accent for no reason), superficial ( saying "So Anyway..." if he doesn't like the conversation) and for me...a motherf*cking user.

I agreed to help him study for History about a week ago. Because I'm really nice and passive, i couldn't turn him away when he came to me after class and asked if we could study together. I was a little worried because a guy like that ( concerned with his work out regiment, tailored shirt, and blackberry) doesn't hang out with a girl like me (shy, book lover, with paint on her pants) unless he wants something. It just doesn't happen. Right off the back i sort of assumed he was sucking up to me, so he could get a good grade in the class, but after the first study session i felt differently. We actually had things to talk about, laughed a lot, kind of study, but mainly talked.

On Tuesday however, he started talking about the big paper that was due on Thursday. The big paper that he didn't even start. The big paper that we could "possibly work on...together." I said that i didn't mind helping him with an outline, and that we could go over some concepts together, but that wasn't enough for him. On Wednesday, after sensing that he wanted me to write his paper, i almost bailed on our study session. However, i got some text message later in the day saying that he was in the computer lab and ready to study.

I dragged myself there, worried that i wouldn't be able to finish my own paper if i was spending the whole night helping him with his. When i got there, he hadn't even started his paper, he didn't even his name on the damn thing. He was working on some project for his Art Class, and when i got there he seemed indifferent to studying or writing his paper. I however had about 5 pages done, and told him that i couldn't stay too long in order for me to finish.

He wanted to know why i didn't email the paper to myself, so i could work on it in the computer lab. He went on to say that he thought we were going to compare papers. That i would read sections from my paper so he would get a general idea of what to write for his.

Are you out of your fucking mind!!

You should have seen my face when he said this. It was priceless. It was a mix of "you really take me for stupid" and "Hell No". I told him that wasn't going to work, because comparing essays can only work (not that i would ever do that) with two essay's, not one. I only brought the hard copy of my paper with me, which he was eye balling the whole time. He asked if i wanted him to type up my hard copy, so I could work on my essay in there with him. I could just read my essay out loud and he would type it up real quickly. Why would i read out my essay and have him type it up? That would just mean that he would have a copy of my paper when i left the computer lab.

After this request, i told him that i had to leave. You know something randomly came up and i needed to go. The next day, the day our paper was due, he didn't even come to class. In fact he hadn't been to class in the last 3 days. He came into work yesterday, telling me that he was going to turn his paper in late because he didn't finish it the night before. "If you want, we can meet in the computer lab today and go over what i have written if you like".

I told him I'd think about it, and then of course I didn't show up when he text me that afternoon, wondering where i was.

Geez, i don't know what I'm more offended by. That he really thinks being a stud will get people to do his work, or that i am so gullible i will look past his overt attempts for me to write his paper because he's pretty.

Whatever the case, I'm just not that into him, or anyone for that matter of fact, to get caught up in some crazy "One paper, two students" scandal.

What a bastard.
