What a reality check today was. First, I woke up with an upset stomach and feeling absolutely miserable. So I talked to Tim for a while (he's my new friend) and then went back to sleep. Then woke up again when Jack stopped by with lunch. Then went back to sleep again. So today was a pretty boring day. But then Cy's Eyes was relatively fun for how much our graphics machine is falling apart. Haha. But oh well.
Anywho, I realized that I never got around to describing Tim! He's my new friend and he looks WAYYYY too much like Ovechkin for his own good. Haha.
See what I mean! But anywho, it's actually a really funny story how we met.
So the first day of the student conference, I am sitting with my Iowa State buddies and I look in the front of the room and literally do a triple take because I see what looks to me like Ovechkin standing in the front of the room. So I'm freaking out because I LOOOOVE Ovi. Haha.
So Saturday morning resumes and I'm telling pretty much anyone who will listen about how there's a kid that looks like Ovi and I want an excuse to go talk to him. So that afternoon I had a half hour break so I decided to call my parents since that was the only chance I'd really get to talk to them all weekend. And of course I told them all about the guy that looked like Ovi. In the process of doing that, though, he walks up and is standing like 10 feet from me talking to a friend. So I pretty quickly changed the subject. As I continue talking to my parents, his friend walks away and he just kinda sits there, which I guess I found a little odd but I was just happy to be able to sneak looks at him. Then my parents had to get going because they had something, so I hang up the phone and literally within about a minute, he walks up to me and says, "Hi! My name is Tim."
Of course at this point I'm going "NO EFFING WAY." And so we keep talking and typical things come up. Like he pronounces my last name wrong, so I correct him and he goes "Well, at least I don't look like anyone famous." So I'm sitting there going, "Liz. Don't say anything. Don't be an idiot." haha. But we hung out all day and by the end of the day we were pretty much attached at the hip! It was amazing! He's a really great guy and I know that we'll be friends for a LOOOOOOONG time. Haha.
But yeah, the rest of my trip was great. Although now that I'm back home, I miss Tim like crazy. Luckily he has Skype so we can talk lots that way. And texting! We've been texting pretty much all day.
But anywho, I better get going. I have some homework that needs to get finished before tomorrow. Soooo, write more later! Toodles!
