One would think that G might
have been kinder to me this time around. But
he didn't get the memo and I guess he doesn't read the blog. Some days I
wonder if he is really my friend?! He was like this lunch monitor who watches
over the kids at lunch time to ensure they eat in 15.59 minutes and get out and
play. In G's case, he had to get out and
play. To heck with Lady A's throat and mine if the soup we ordered scalded our
throats and left us with an inability to eat anything else in the future. The
man needed to get out there and play! (I will leave the “what” of this a
mystery to be revealed at a later time.)
I actually told G that Lady A
and I would have had a leisurely 3 hour lunch if the man hadn't been there! His
smug answer to that was literally "Who eats that much?!". Nobody eats for 3 straight hours!! Duh!! It
is people spending 3 straight hours together in conversation and food is
secondary really.
I could complain forever
about my friend G, but perhaps he is the comic relief I needed and perhaps it
was also wonderful to have had those therapeutic outbursts in forgiving
company. After such an intense few weeks, I was quite exhausted and was
actually ready to fall asleep after the crazy hours that went into the last few
days of the course.
So, it was good to be dropped
off home a little early so I could have a bit of downtime before I had to be in
a meeting at Hans' school. So, it all worked out. And I can always schedule the 3 hour lunch with Lady A at a later time.
It felt really good to
complete a task and celebrate with friends. This was also a task that is akin
to what the boys do on a daily basis. I wanted to be a good student and a good
role model for them. I believe I accomplished that. I want them to know that
there is no end to learning. I definitely
feel smarter than I did before Jan 9th of this year!
