Thirteen chapters (~250 pages) in four hours! I bet I can do fifteen in five. (Well, that's what I'm doing tonight, so I'm going to have to.) Craaaaaaamming /fistpump. At least I'm not joining the ~cramming session~ tonight at Mountain Mike's. I mean, packing ~30 students into a private room at a pizza place and expecting studying to go on? Yeah, I think that's a little idealistic. I'll stick to reading frantically whilst listening to jazz. :9 Fragrance of Dark Coffee, go~!

I make friendship bracelets periodically. I'm wearing eight of them right now, and I made them all. Usually I just tie stripes, because they're really easy and really fast and if I don't have anything to do in trig class I can finish a whole one, usually. But every now and then, I think, oh hey, maybe I should tie some chevrons! I mean, I know I hated doing it the last time I did it, but surely it can't be that bad, right? So then I start tying chevrons, and yes, it was that bad, and yes, it still is. Doesn't mean I'm not going to do the next four (well, three and a half, I'm halfway through the first one) in chevrons.

Also, occasionally very strange things happen. This morning is one such time. I checked my email, noticed there was one in my facebook folder, and thought it would just be, like, a page suggestion, because I get those from Liz all the time. But no. It was not a page suggestion. It was a friend request. From a girl I haven't seen since sixth grade. From a girl I haven't wanted to see since sixth grade, since she was a major bully empowered by being the daughter of the day care director, and I attribute a lot of my self-esteem issues to her.  Do I want her to be my friend on facebook? It's not like I trash her or anything; I don't talk about her. I don't even really think about her. I kind of forgot about her. Out of necessity, mostly, and because why would I think about someone who no longer has any effect on my life?

So this friend request was a little jarring, because I wasn't expecting it. I feel like I should just click ignore, but at the same time, I feel like it needs some thought. Would she even care if I accepted it? Would she even care if I rejected it? Would it even matter if I accepted it?

I'm overthinking this.
