A dilemma has entered my life. This morning I was walking to the dorm's caf, when I saw one of the adult dorm employees. (I have no actual idea of what his job entails)
When I used to live in Mason before, he'd always say hi to me. No big deal, but a few weeks ago he randomly told me a weather report (no provocation what so over) But still, no big deal.
Also several weeks ago, he offered me a Starburst. I was tempted, especially since I saw a beloved red one, but I said "no thanks." The cliche "don't take candy from strangers...except on Halloween" has been ingrained well. My parents would be proud.
The majority of my hesitation is caused by the fact that the dude looks scary. We're talking stalker, rapist, killer territory. Think Filch of Harry Potter movie fame...except hair shorter and more brown. Yeah, not causing me to feel immediately comfortable in his presence.
Well, today when I saw him, I avoided eye contact. What can I say, I didn't want to attract his attention to me as I had no need for a weather report.
But he still offered me a container of SweetTarts. But not in the sense of me having any choice. He didn't ask. He just forced the wrapped candy into my path. I could either take it or run my face into his hand. I went with the candy. Avoiding physical contact.
Despite my surprise at the appearance of the candy I said thanks. (Yet again, my parents can be proud)
But now here is the dilemma: Do I eat the candy that was given to me by a man who makes me uncomfortable in the don't be alone with him sense of the word uncomfortable? It's a toughie.
In other news, memories of my experience with the French test yesterday causes me to mutter words like "evil" and "badness Batman." It was made worse by the fact that I repair crew was fixing the roof above the class during the listening part of the exam.
Something screwy has happened during 2/3 of the tests this semester. I can't wait to see what happens during the final.
That is all.
