a marked improvement

I made a new friend today. A brand new real life friend who is actually in my biology classes. I was meant to be meeting her and two other girls to discuss a microbio lab assignment, but the other two didn't show so we shrugged and decided to go have coffee.

And she's great! We talked for ages about our courses and academic interests and reading and authors and I wrote down Fahye's Reading List 101 for her (Good Omens, American Gods, The Gunslinger, Fight Club and The English Patient) and we both grew up watching ABC and muting the ads on commercial TV, and we both love BBC shows and she likes Wire in the Blood (!). And she asked about my Team Ethereal shirt and seemed really interested in the idea of Milliways. And it was nice.

And yes, this is sort of a big deal. I haven't met someone new and clicked with them in a very long time. My group of friends is lovely but quite insular.

:)

I also went to drealle's lab to hand back some books, and spent a while chatting to her supervisor, who was my ASC instructor last year. I really like academics that take the time to get to know you, and are pleased to see you, and will just hang around in doorways chatting to you about your courses.

And I wrote a lot of sonnets last night.

And tonight I'm going to go and see a production Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead with Tink and Mr. Tink.

My bad mood? Totally gone.

That's great! It's so exciting to make new friends - i love those first conversations where you realize that you have a ton in common and you're both talking really fast, etc :D
