Cheers To Stan!

So although all you beautiful ladies have already heard (and are probably already tired of hearing), I had a date with Maverick Saturday night!! But lets backtrack a little, Saturday Zoe and I had a picnic with our Radiology class. We met up at a lake park where one of our professors lives because she so graciously agreed to show us around her town (purely to continuously talk about how wonderful her life it). But regardless, it was a beautiful sunny day on the boat touring the waterways, tubing, and swimming in the big, alligator-infested, murky-watered, hot-and-simultaneously-cold lake! Overall, it was a great time (I was even in my bathing suit! I know, you never saw that coming!).... up until I asked what time it was... DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN

Now, so you all fully understand what was happening, Maverick asked me out and said he would pick me up at 9pm. No biggie right? Except Zoe and I were over an hour away, on a boat in the middle of a giant lake, and it was 6:30! I was going nuts and Zoe can surely attest to that! After doing the math I determined that, if we were lucky, I’d get home at 8, leaving exactly ONE HOUR to shower, blow-dry my hair, do make-up, and get dressed! One we were in the car, I feel like the worst part was, there was no way I could do anything to get it out of the way before I got home. So i anxiously waited. And waited. And waited, until we finally pulled up to my apartment where I proceeded to take the stairs two at a time to the third floor, run through the door, and fully strip down before even making it to my shower! My roommates should all feel blessed that they were in their rooms with the doors shut so they did not have to see this race against time!

Anyways, details unknown to me, I was able to shower and wash my hair in record time, get dressed, put make-up on (not too surprising since I never wear much), and I even remembered to put deodorant on before Zoe returned from dropping off a fellow radiology student. By that time, I was half-way done blowdrying my hair and Zoe thankfully took over that task as I continued to freak myself out and get so nervous that my feet turned red! Recalling the date prep now is still managing to stress me out! But anyways, Zoe finished and quickly left so Mav wouldn’t see her on her way out. And just as I was brushing my teeth, before spitting, phone rings! It’s Maverick and he’s here! Oh. My. God. I made it!!

He took me to a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon laser light show that was soo awesome. And yes, I know I sound like a nerd. Then we went to a bar (of which I didn’t even know the name of until Zoe informed me later after talking with Mav; I was too into the conversation and paid no attention to our surroundings!) and had a drink and talked a lot! Then, the bar was closing up so we left and he drove me home. And it was so cute, he walked me to my door, I thanked him for a wonderful night, and he kissed me on the cheek! (For the record, I’m turning red right now haha)

I do intend to go out with him again although no concrete plans have been made. And Zoe spoke to him yesterday as a covert operation and found out his side of the date and there are two specific things that need to be mentioned: 1. He referred to it as “a cute date” and 2. He said it was possibly the best first date he’s ever had! :-D

So with that, I believe I need to thank Zoe for not jumping his bones last semester and for playing the middle man to hook us up! Thanks Girlie!
