So, it's halfway through week one of classes, and I'm absolutely loving it. So far I've had History, Language and Social Identity, Sign Language, and Linguistics. My sign prof is deaf, so the entire course is taught through immersion - from the moment I enter that class, I'm not allowed to speak English. I can only use my hands to communicate. It's fun, because it's a beginner level course. Wahoo.
Tomorrow I have a Campus for Christ meeting. That will be interesting, I think- chances are I'll meet some pretty cool people. I'm a little nervous, but hey, we all know I'm not a fan of meeting new people.
Funniest thing happened today. I'm walking through Starbucks, just checking out things, when I remember that I have a Starbucks card in my wallet. So, I stand at the counter, and ask the guy if he can check the balance for me. Sure, he says, and I proceed to root through my wallet, desperately trying to find it. The guy asks me what I want, so I order, figuring that if I can't find the card, I'll debit it and suck up the loss. The guy puts on the milk for the latte, and then leans back over the counter. Then, the wittiest exchange in the world occurred (as he's making my latte):
Him: So, you look awfully familiar.
Me: Really? I haven't been here before.
Him: You don't know me?
Me: I don't think so.
Him: Would you like to?
At this point he hands me my latte.
Me: Uh, not especially.
Him: No? Too bad.
I pull out my debit card. He refuses.
Him: It's on the house.
Me: No, that's fine, really.
Him: Come on, you shot me down, just take the coffee.
So I did. And then I ran away. Fast.
