November 12th, 2024: Woke up pretty late today. At around 9:25am I made the realization that my dad who I will be calling Platt, has his birthday today and I decided to give him a call, we talked about me getting him a gift and I decided on getting him a Italian meal kit, he talked to me about making me take Asherah on another date (Even though she probably hates me at this point because I am Catholic) although I am probably going to have to confess to my parents that I am not actually taking her out on dates. I realized that I needed to call the IRS to confirm my returns, so I ended up waiting on them for 30 minutes, and decided in the meantime that I should sweep up around my place, when the agent finally picked up, I found out that I needed to print some returns and mail them to Austin, Texas but I sadly do not know how do I send out mail for my apartment. I eventually went to my only class of the day and zoned out for most of it, I went to Tuesday mass afterwards and sat next to this one Taylor Swift fan I really did not like and sat next to this guy who looked like a Greek god (Not those modern interpretation versions.) At dinner I didn't see Asherah or her roommate for a while but then I eventually saw her roommate, I went up to her and asked where Asherah was and she said that she decided not to come, so I am absolutely sure she hates me now. I got a text from my mom telling me to call her so I ended up just leaving after finishing my dinner and walked back home, once I got home it just ended up being 22 minutes of my mom yelling at me for various shit.

November 13th, 2024: Packed is probably the best word to describe my day, I had some cereal for breakfast first and then went to my first class to learn more about Prolog and the difference between overloading and overriding. After that I ended up quickly studying for a test for my second class class, which I was not sure that I ended up doing good on, but it could not have been lower than a 50% on the quiz, after my second class I took the bus to Noodles and Company and had some regular-sized Mac N Cheese for lunch, it was sadly kind of expensive. Before my third and final class, I played some Roblox before 2:30 and then headed out to class. Disassociating was the main thing that happened in my third class, something about pipelining in assembly language, my partner for the class project ended up completing it beforehand so it just was easy and then I went home. 6:00pm was the time this men’s dinner at this Catholic church was supposed to happen, so at 5:20pm I ended up walking over and took some detours so I could get there on time. When I arrived at the parish where the dinner was to be held, I encountered my priest for the Tuesday mass events and was told to enter through the back door because the front door was locked, I went in to find a group of 5 men in prayer along with the priest, who I will be calling Malachi, I ended up just joining the prayer no questions asked and then I end up talking to the priest where I find out things about him, like how he was ordained on May 15th, 2021 and he got the food from this Croatian family all the way over in Waukesha which was taco stuff with mascarpone cake. I ended up finding out that Fukuyama goes to these events and sat with him. Dinner night turned out to be hosted before Eucharistic adoration at 7pm, which is followed by mass at 8pm, and then finally a social event at 9pm, I accompanied Fukuyama to the Eucharistic adoration and sat next to him, where I saw multiple people I knew, including Raphael, the guy who leads my Bible study group, and some girls. There were plenty of girls who veil and I immediately went into OMGSISA mode. There were 5 priest there, 4 doing confessions, so I lined up for confession and ended up admitting my (moral) sins, getting told to pray 1 decade of the rosary (instead of the full 5 that a rosary had) as my penance. I got back to my pew with Fukuyama and started reading the book of Sirach from the Bible. After Eucharistic adoration there was the mass, which Raphael did not stay for but I ended up waving to him and he waved back. The mass was weird because there was no organ or other instruments like mass usually has (and the Eucharistic adoration had) and there was two songs we sang after going up to partake in consuming the eucharist. Once 9 pm rolled around a good amount of people went to the social afterwards, I ended up meeting a few people, like this nurse who is a chubby ginger that I have seen a few times at mass who I will be calling Hellen. I ended up meeting this guy who kind of looked like an Incel with his semi-pimply face and short stature, I will be calling him Anders, he surprisingly looked younger than he actually was (38 years old) but him having greying hair should have been a giveaway, he is a friend of Fukuyama’s and he talked to me about how he worked for the FBI and that it was really easy to get security clearance for them, I eventually decide to talk to the girl with cerebral palsy from my summer Bible study group while she was talking to this other girl. I asked if I could join their conversation because the girl she was talking to was cute (I didn’t mention the last part because I am not a weirdo) but she said “I’m trying to have a conversation, so fuck off!” And I just straight up decided to leave, I tried to exit but the entrance was blocked by 3 nuns, all wearing beige. I wish I took the entrance being blocked as a sign from God Himself that I should have stayed and socialized more, but I just continued to try to leave because of how defeated I was from Elizabeth being an asshole, I politely asked the shortest of the three nuns if she could get out of the way so I could exit, and I did, finding out that it was raining outside, so I just walked home in the rain. Home was comforting after having to deal with the rain, probably because Enosh wasn’t there so I just had a beer, took a shower, and then texted Lizzo to ask Asherah to figure out who should be my patron saint and then I went to bed.
