First legit blog!... on a not-so-legit topic. College searching.
Day one, so pretty much it was the typical rise and shine day, it's pretty chilly outside and I'm tired which makes me pretty grumpy and not fun to be around. My parents and I get into the car and we drive three hours to State College and the first thing that I can notice beside the enormous mountains and the random horses scattered around (yes there are horses) it was the correctional facility. I thought it was funny how there where signs scattered around the highway claiming on this correctional facility ( and I will most likely be the only one). I didn't really see much on PSU, but the ice cream was amazing! and to top it off, there was a cute tour guide. I won't get into the specifics about what he looked like and everything like that, I'll just leave it to your imagination.
Remember how I noted about it being absolutely chilly in the morning, by noon it was blistering hot. which wasn't that good on my part because I was wearing jeans and a heavy jacket on. So I was sweating and the car was an oven.
We arrived in Pittsburgh around 6 or so. By then the air was much cooler, well cooler compared to the afternoon. My dad wanted to check out the campus before the next morning, it was a city so I wasn't expecting much. After being in the open and in the country I felt that the air in the city was sufforcating, which is quite unusual because I normally love the city.
Day 2, waking up at 8 was nice, not at 5 like yesterday I felt better and refreshed. We headed over to Starbucks for some nice iced coffee. The information session wasn't that interesting, minus the random stragglers popping in late. I won't bore you with little details about the tour, but I will tell you that I took a fancy to the tour guide. He was well, cute. I don't know if it was that fact that he was so awkward or if it was the converse or the smile. I also fell in love with the Catherdral of Learning. When we first walked in the first thing I could say was "it looks like Hogwarts" in a hushed whisper(which is a compliment in my book), and this got dirty looks from the other people next to me in the tour group, stupid muggles, but the tour guide, who was a good five feet in front turned around and smiled at me and said that a lot of people said that. Can you tell that I'm absolutely smitten? For some reason we got free t-shirts, and when they asked for sizes I said Children's Large (that's my size). So the tour guide goes "ok large" and then he looked at me and asked "large?" like it was insane that I would even wear a large, but then the light bulb flashed and he said "sorry, we don't carry children sizes" So he got me an adult small instead.
Afterwards I tried to initiate a conversation with him, which was a fail. If you ever get the chance to see me I'm absolutely horrible with talking to guys.
Guess what the first thing I asked was? "Do you know where they play quidditch (Pitt has a Quidditch team!!!!)".... I need to lay off the Harry Potter books for a while and try to devise a more "real world" question like "do you know the current president?" or "Did you know that the smallest measurable unit of time is the yoctosecond, which is one septillionth of a second?" and other pick up lines like that.
Lets just say that I felt like and idiot afterwards. But he was nice and didn't tease me, but he didn't know. I apologized about the questions and admited that that was the first thing I would always ask people. I guess he thought I was directing the question at him, because he then said that he didn't play quidditch and apologized. *face desk* I felt so awkward that I didn't ask about artists like Warhol and books. So I just left.
Afterwards my mom was poking fun at me in the fact that I was so smitten with him. and proccesed to say, "He's probably gay". Dream crusher.
So last night I sent him an E-mail apologizing about the awkward conversation we had. I fail.
Can we conclude that I can't talk to guys? I think that's agreeable.
