I was such a klutz...

Well, today was Tuesday, and you know what that meant... It meant that I got to spend some time with the guy I like, who audits the class on Tuesday...

All in all, it was a good class, and we got to go early, because the prof had to do something. When were all leaving, the guy I liked left the room before I did, and I thought, "OK, I'm not going to bother catching up with him..." but when I got out, he was outside the door... I asked him, "You waiting for someone?" and he replied, "I was just listening to the class." We walked together until we reached outside the campus, and I didn't see a shuttle that would take me directly downtown to the campus close to where I live, so I decided that I would venture today, and take the Sherbrooke (105) bus, and then hop on the metro at Vendôme station. (This is what the guy I like would have done, but he would have gotten off the metro at a different station)

We were at the bust stop, and the bus arrived. At first, I was fishing for my tickets... I knew I had some, because I just bought six on Friday, and I know I put them in my wallet... The guy I like, hereafter named Michel (not his real name) for simplicity sake found a ticket in his wallet, and he gave it to me so I could get on the bus. So, once I got on the bus, I said, "OK, I know I have tickets, because I just bought them Friday.", and sure enough, in the light, I was able to find them. I paid him back his ticket, and we were on our way.

About five minutes into our bus ride, two people got off the bus, so we seized the opportunity to sit down. We talked about different things... I talked to him about investing in a metro pass next month, and the reasons why. Then I told him I would have access to the world's biggest underground (plaza?) and the HMV, and I asked him if he knew where there was an archambault. (Quebec bookstore) This lead to a discussion of music, and I discovered that Michel liked all kinds of music.

We got to Vendôme station, and I was a complete klutz... I was fine up until I lined up to the booth (thinking the transfer had to be given to the booth attendant). However, there were these slots that were in the machines that you could just slide it in, and you'd have access... So, once Michel showed me this slot, I put in my transfer... And of course, I put it in the wrong side up! So, the thing bounces back, and Michel stated, "See this side, where there are the arrows?" (At this point, I must have been beet red, if not, I felt like a six year old), and I put it in correctly and was finally able to pass.

So yeah, I had some fun times tonight, especially with Michel. I also called his house, and there was a "bad line", so I called back and left a message to say, "I'm OK, I got home despite the problems at the metro station, and I'm usually not that much of an idiot. Don't worry about calling back, I hope you have a good week, and I'll see you next Tuesday." I did this as a joke, to sort of diffuse my idiocy, I guess. I don't know.

Oh, and Michel touched me today! :-D I was standing up and letting someone pass through into a desk (we're in a room with a really bizarre desk/classroom setup). So, as I was letting someone into a desk, he came by and said hi, and touched me on the upper arm...
