December 10th, 2024: Another day of classes. I did some more work on the poster presentation that we were supposed to do and completed my introduction and conclusion. At roughly 2:00 PM, I decided to head to this study hall room with my other group-mates. We made a bit more progress, and there was some free soda that nobody had touched, so I drank some Mountain Dew. I decided to head back home at 3:00 PM, packing the remaining two strawberry-filled croissants to give to Asherah and her roommate (assuming that she was even going to show up) to make her less mad at me.

I got to my only class of the day at 4:00 PM, and we all had to go through our presentations. Our group of five (including me) ended up going fifth for our presentation. We did pretty well, though our ESL teacher told us we should have shortened it a bit. It took a while to get through all 10 presentations, with the last two taking us past the 5:15 PM end time of class.

After that, I walked over to the Tuesday Mass event. I walked in during the homily and saw Fukuyama, Henry, and the leader of my Bible study event there. I proceeded through the rest of the Mass before heading upstairs. I waited around a bit in the back before Asherah and her roommate—who always wears this one hat with a belt-like thing on it—surprisingly showed up. The first thing I said was:
"Long time no see!"
I asked her why she hadn't been to these in over a month, and she said she had this class where all her assignments were due at the end of the semester and she had been working on them (probably just an excuse).

I talked about how my confirmation went, and she kind of congratulated me. I remember mentioning how it was kind of funny that the Augustine guy went directly after me, and then I just stopped talking mid-sentence. I don’t really know why I did it—maybe because it felt futile.

We got to the kitchen where I was served spaghetti cut really short with Bolognese sauce and a breadstick. Asherah, her roommate Zephyr, and I decided to go out into the dining room, where I immediately filled up the pitcher of water for the table and brought it out. The first thing she did when she sat down was talk about how she found Luigi Mangione was hot and she liked him for shooting the UnitedHealthcare CEO, I honestly felt very betrayed. At one point, Asherah whispered to her roommate and said something about how she was gossiping. I think she was saying something about me, but it might have been her talking negatively about my Bible study group leader, who was also sitting at the table.

After a while, I recommended to her that she check out this Twitter account called Dan Hentschel. In turn, she recommended I watch this YouTube video series called Gayle Waters-Waters about this weird suburban mom and how there was this thing with her having a bunch of couscous that she snorted. I playfully mocked Asherah for not liking to eat couscous, and then she playfully mocked me for not snorting couscous. I asked her why the name was Waters-Waters, and she said that in the series, her husband's last name was also Waters, so they hyphenated it because it’s a common last name. I made a joke, saying:
"Imagine having a common last name!"
Asherah got angry because she has a pretty common last name, while I have an extremely rare one. (If you look it up on Wikipedia, you get a musician, a military general, and a Mexican politician named Adolfo.) I also made fun of her for not documenting everything about her life, and her roommate told me to document this down.

After they finished their meals, Asherah and her roommate decided to leave and said goodbye. I left shortly afterward and went home. I realized that I forgot to give them their croissants, so I decided to call Asherah, but it went to voicemail again. I just decided to eat the croissants myself. I also texted Lizzo about her finally talking to me but being kind of an asshole the entire time.

I continued working on my homework for a bit before giving up and taking a shower. After my shower, I drank two swigs of Mount Gay rum to try and help me sleep, but it just ended up making me angrier and unable to sleep. I decided to go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole on Torah study, and that ended up calming me down before I went to sleep.

December 11th, 2024: Another day of classes today, I wished Dean a happy 21st birthday and he said thanks to me, to which I sent him a video of some Haredim in Israel chasing a guy dressed as Fiveish (basically a sentient wad of $5 bills with arms, legs, eyes, and a mouth) and then eventually beating him up while the guy filming keeps shouting:
"Kenny they're gonna get you!"
I remember having this test today in my first class which I was woefully under prepared for and when I went up to give it in, I saw many people had much longer answers than me, so I just give up mentally, I went to my second class to watch and review more presentations, I ended up seeing this one presentation about scanning resumes to choose jobs better by three Indians which was kinda funny. After class I make some ramen for lunch and I find out my score for my test was somehow a 6/10, which is way better than I thought. For my third class I worked on the Assembly interpreter during it and I remember my professor proclaiming:
“You definitely won’t be using MIPS in the future, and you probably won’t be using Assembly on the job.”
After that class I got the thing to somewhat work and then submitted it. I finally finished reading the book of Jeremiah. I decided to start watching Gayle Waters-Waters and ended up only managing to tolerate 7 episodes, I only somewhat laughed once, I cooked the last of the slimy green beans and I could hardly tolerate it. I decided to go to this karaoke event because I needed to socialize but when I got there, there were so few people there so I just left.

December 12th, 2024: I went to the diner to have some pancakes, eggs, and bacon for breakfast, with one of the two employees working there commenting on how fast I ate the bacon and eggs, the pancakes weren’t completed so I just saved that as breakfast for tomorrow. I didn’t do much today except review the presentations that were due yesterday and submitted those. I got back into Bloons Monkey City. Probably the worst part of my day was dinner, as I had decided to use this marinara sauce that Enosh had got with some spinach linguini I had cooked up, and holy canoli it tasted absolutely awful, I could hardly tolerate it and there was an obvious reason why it was free. Later on at night Enosh was being really loud in his room so I told him to knock it off and he then knocked on my door and I just pretended to be asleep.

December 13th, 2024: Back to work today, I microwaved some of the leftover pancakes I had for breakfast yesterday before going to work. Work was ok except for the fact that I had to portion (transfer unlabeled bags of meatballs into labeled bags of meatballs and then tie them closed) on the lift for receiving, which was very cramped and whenever someone had to take something outside, I would have to stop. This black lady that worked here called me sweetie so that was nice. All my tasks were done at about 4:00pm so I gotta go home early, but on the walk out it turns out that this one guy had a seizure and we had to call 911. Luckily we had a coworker who was training to be an EMT so he was safe. Once I got home I did some gaming a bit before I went out to dinner with Joseph, we had a good time and he talked about the Army-Navy football game that was happening tomorrow at 2pm and that this was the first one he was going to not be seeing in person since 2002, I offered to pay for the dinner due to my mom was insistent on it but he rejected the offer because he invited me and was glad that I could actually come to Friday night dinner with him. Once I got home I worked on my final quiz for one of my classes and got like a 62% on it; I wasn’t going to sweat the test because my grade in that class is so high I could have gotten a 0% and still passed. What I noticed for one of my other classes was that I had a 63% on one of my homework assignments because the TA grading it said I didn’t have any commentary needed when I clearly attached it; with the commentary I would have gotten a 90% for my grade and it would have boosted me to passing the class. I wrote him an email telling him to reconsider my grade and carbon copied the teacher on it. After sending the email, I found out that Sating was attentionwhore and he was commenting like crazy on Booru. A bit later, I commented while logged out and found out that my wifi got banned because it was mistaken for a attentionwhore VPN.

December 14th, 2024: Happy 2187th Anniversary of the Purification of the Temple by Judas Maccabeus!

This morning, I went to the grocery store to grab some cereal before heading to work. While I was there, something odd happened: I found an iPhone left in the upstairs men’s bathroom. I decided to check around to see whose it was. I asked around with the employees, starting with the kitchen, but no one claimed it. I then went over to the bakery, where the Black lady from yesterday said the phone was hers. However, Lebanon made a distasteful joke about me putting "dick pictures" on her phone. I was disgusted by the remark, but I didn’t respond—because, one, I’ve never done that, and two, I once made the mistake of sending a slightly revealing picture to a girl I met on a dating app, and it had very bad consequences.

With it being the Christmas season, there was Christmas music blasting over the loudspeakers all day. Unfortunately, the playlist didn’t have much variety, and I ended up hearing The Christmas Waltz a total of 14 times in one day. For lunch, I had a prosciutto sandwich (and thankfully, they didn’t forget it!). After lunch, I spoke with Ignacio about taking home some expired sauce, and he gave me the green light! Later in the day, I found out that today was the EMT guy's last day, which was a bit sad. I had a bit more to do than usual for closing, but I managed to finish all my tasks by 5:55 PM. Unfortunately, I had just missed the bus, so I had to walk to a nearby bus stop and wait about 20 minutes for the next one to bring me home.

Once I got home, I walked in to find Enosh’s cousin, his cousin’s wife, and their 6-year-old son visiting. I was lucky, though—the son wasn’t one of those kids glued to an iPad. In fact, he had just started playing Minecraft, but it was, the way Enosh spoke to his cousin's son was like how you would speak to a baby, which I find cringe, because I don't even do that with babies, like remember the aunt that gave me beer when I was 20 years, 11 months, and 29 days old (yikes), well her second daughter's son was once over at my house once and I started talking to him like a normal person, unlike my sister and rapper cousin (beer aunt's youngest child.)

For dinner, Enosh made a tater tot bake and served us all three Old Fashioneds. I quickly drank my entire drink and then, out of nowhere, decided to walk down to the store to buy a bunch of ice cream drumsticks. While I was there, I spotted a guy who was an Orthodox Jew, which was interesting. When I got back, I proudly announced that I’d brought ice cream for everyone. We all had a drumstick, and the evening continued. After Enosh’s cousins left, I worked on the group paper and managed to add an entire page to it!

December 15th, 2024: Final day of the workweek, I had to do a pretty big pull for stuff to go on the shelves. I saw fAsherah today wearing a very 1970's inspired outfit, I asked her if she did a 1960's outfit on the days I wasn't working and she said no and I made a joke about her time machine being broken. I continued with my work before I saw fAsherah again on my second break, managing to datamine her birthday (June 29th) because her phone case was one of those with a wallet built in and I saw her drivers license, I offered her and this other guy a ladyfinger (it's a type of cookie) as a gift and she accepted it but the other guy did not, and she said:
"I could make a ton of lesbian jokes right now!"
Which I found funny. Lebanon came to where I usually work later on in the day with a bottle of wine that was broken near the top and he let me have it for free. After I do my closings, I head out and take the bus home, I eat dinner before walking to church, where I see Bartholomew and I say hi to Joseph and the presider, who looks kind of like Pops but isn't Pops. The service goes along well and I notice that the newspaper they give out is pink instead of the usual color matching what time it is (currently purple time). I go home and start studying for my finals, while listening to music on Spotify but I started encountering issues with the music being all weird and it wasn't playing correctly.

I hope you do well on your finals, work hard!
 
December 16th, 2024: First day of studying. I started off the morning with some cereal and coffee before playing some more Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story, at around 10:00am I started studying for my natural language processing final, I made a bit of progress before finally deciding to study in the library, I made quite a good amount of progress before I decided to head out at around 3:00pm, on my walk back I decided to go near where I knew Asherah works and I saw her talking with Khadija, I waved to hear through the glass and she didn't notice, so I went inside the room and said to her:
"You have a job?"
She replied:
"Yes Gemerson"
While sort of chuckling, I quickly left because I had to go home to eat lunch. Around 4:00pm I decided to go to some fast food places near me to get a paper job application because I wanted to go back to Asherah and give it to her while just saying:
"I don't believe it!"
The three that I went to all told me to do it online. There was an event at the library which started at 6pm so I went to it a bit early, I ended up seeing one of my long time friends who I will be calling Lara, she is pretty friendly with me but just talks to her friends while we wait in line for the coffee and donut holes, after we get our stuff she and her friends leave. I see some stuff where she was sitting and tried to contact her on Snapchat. I find out it is her 20th birthday today so I message her happy birthday along with asking her if that was her stuff on the table, she doesn't reply. I then walked back home to find my roommate doing a table read in the middle of the dining room, which was kind of pissing me off.
