Got thrown off course...

Last friday was a day like no other. Got to school around 6:50am and did my usual routine of walking to the cafe to read the newspaper. I walked in surprised to find a classmate of mine be in school so early. Tatyana is a fashion graduate and is taking marketing part-time to upgrade her mark. Also, for the fellas, she is 5'6, of russian descent, going to Ryerson, and does yoga and pilates. I hardly talk to her in Marketing class so I decided to go and fully introduce myself and see what's she all about. She was a warm and yet playful type of girl. Very opinionated which I liked because obviously if you do know me, I have a lot of shit to say as well and I love getting to know why we are the way we are (the human condition). I blame my interest in psychology and wanting to develop my reading skills for playing poker to feed my curiousity.

Tatyana remarked that I have low self-esteem as her observation about me because I haven't told her what I am all about. (Hahahahahah! it seems I was playing poker with her already and not giving away any "tells".) I didn't trust her that's why. She slowly was making a good point that I seemed like a distant, loner type. Hahaha it doesn't that take much to read that. Yes it's true, I just like doing my own thing but I still like to "change gears" and shock people from time to time by engaging them in conversation.

The reason why she was there early because she was trying to finish a pamphlet project for her Interpersonal Communications class. She asked me if I would help her if I'm not busy. I reluctantly accepted to help because I didn't plan to chill for so long, But I did and our teamwork chemistry was good and was glad I stayed and helped her out. We finished and met up later in Marketing.

After Marketing class she asked me out for lunch as a thank you. It seems she wanted to go out to lunch just her and I. I suggested to come and chill with our group from Marketing instead. She was cool with it and bought me lunch, which she insisted and I thought she was so fucking nice of her to do that. I misread her I thought she would be more into herself before I met her. I'm glad she proved me wrong.

Nothing really goes as planned. Sometimes you get thrown off track and end up on a new path that can open up your eyes to more possibilities. What I ask myself now is: Do I want to take a chance and make something of myself? or do I want to look back and ask myself, What could have been?
