So This is my first month at college. I'm experiencing many new things, and meeting many new boys. After going home and telling some friends about my experiences they have told me that there should be a t.v. show about me and it would be called awkward flirting with Afton. I'm Afton, by the way. I didn't really think that I was an awkward flirter, but I guess we'll find out after sharing my many experiences.
So now its time to catch up on all the drama so far. Last week I was sitting in math class, just like normal, when the guy who normally sits in front of me turned around and smiled at me. He turned back around, then he looked at me again, turned around again, then after a while turned back to me, this time he had intentions of looking longer, so basically he was blatantly starring at me. He finally worked up the courage and said "Hi". I smiled back and said "Hey".
The next day he sat next to me and once again looked at me. He turned away, then turned back to look at me, then turned away again, then turned back, extended his hand and said, "Hi my name is Daniel, what's yours?" I said, "Hi my name is Afton," all while shaking his hand. He said "that's a unique name," I said, "Yeah, pretty unique."
Then the next day I took a test and was late to class. I had to sit in the back, because all the seats where taken in the front. It turned out Daniel was late to class to and sat on the opposite side of the class room, but a few rows in front of me. From my perspective I could see everyone in the class room, including Daniel straining to find me, make eye contact and wave. I waved back of course. At the end of class I was leaving and saw Daniel let everyone go in front of him until it came to me, so he could walk by me and ask how class was. Coincidence? I think not!
Now its a week later, and I'm determined to talk to him, unfortunately I don't have math class on Fridays. Fortunately yesterday I did have class, and I had the guts to sit right next to him. I sat down and he asked how I was, I said, "Good, how are you?" He said he was pretty good, I said, "Well that's a whole lot better then horrible!" he said ya. As class progressed our teacher was showing us how to use our calculators, and then Daniel showed me his calculator and showed how he has the quadratic formula on his calculator. If you don't know how to work a ti-84 calculator, like myself, that's pretty cool. So I said, "I don't have that on my calculator," He said, "I programmed it into mine, I could program it into yours sometime." I said, "OK" Then he slide a paper over to me and said, "put your number there," while pointing to the paper.
So I gave him my number all the while squealing like a little girl in my head. After class we talked a bit before heading our separate ways.
So today in my courtship and marriage class I found out how to get a date, all you have to do is ACT. A- be animated, friendly and happy. C- closeness, be around them often. T- touch, throughout the week touch him on his elbow three times. Research has found this to be the 2nd most responsive area to touch on the human body. If you ACT then its typical that you get a date! So now that I am armed with secret weapons I plan to test and see if this whole act thing works next week.
My next experience started in public speaking class. We had to give a speech relating ourselves to some item. I chose to relate myself to my rainbow umbrella. After I gave my speech I was walking back to my seat, when a boy named Eric told me that I did a really good job on my speech. I said thanks and sat down. Later he gave his speech and related himself to his guitar. It was really good, each point he made he would play a different song in the background, and he was really good at the guitar. I looked at my friend and said, " I can't talk to him," She said, "Why?" and I said, "because I'll fall in love with him." She laughed at me, but I'm a sucker for a good guitarist.
Later that day we found we had institute together. He sat behind me and told me that I did a really good job, I told him, "No you did a really good job." He said thanks and we listened to class. After class I looked at him and said, "So your Hawaiian?" He said, "yes." I said, "Sometimes I say I'm Hawaiian," He gave me a very puzzled look. I then said, "well my dad got the priesthood from his friend who is Hawaiian, and has Hawaiian priesthood lineage, so technically all the blessings I get are Hawaiian, right?" He said, "yeah that totally counts, your Hawaiian."
After we chit chatted for a min. before parting on our ways. I see him in both classes and chit chat, but I think I might attempt the ACT on him to, but unfortunately I'm 5'8 1/2 so pretty tall for a girl, and Eric is not the tallest guy. I'm not sure if he is taller then me, but I prefer taller guys, so maybe ill walk by a mirror with him to make sure I'm not taller before attempting to ACT.
So there ya go, my crazy adventures of college, and boys.
Love,
Afton Michelle
