But it turned out to be a dud.

Rewind back to thursday night, first meeting of the German club of the semester. It was a fun night as usual. Started off hanging out with (Br) and the cute TA from Germany, (A). Then later I talked with (R) and a new girl, (H). Had a fun conversation with (A) about her first week teachin a class, It's ironic how she's a native German speaker and they have her teaching 101, the beginning German class.

As the night wound down, (R) and I left together and I gave her a ride home. She invited me to go to a friend's BBQ with her on friday night and told me about a party saturday night.

Friday came around and I discovered a small plumbing issue that required replacing the spout in my bathtub. And I would be unable to take a shower until it was replaced. So before class I swung by Home Depot and picked up a new bathtub spout and was informed that the whole job should take about 30 minutes. After class, I got home and set to work on removing the old spout. Two hours later I finally got it removed due to the fact that it was so heavily corroded. Cleaned up the corrosion to find that the pipe itself had no corrosion and installing the new spout took no time at all. Then I got my shower at 4:00pm, you have no idea how good that felt.

Hadn't heard from (R) so I gave her a call around 5:00pm, about an hour later gat a call back from her that something came up and she had to run to the other side of the city to pick something up. So that scrapped friday's plans.

Then on Saturday, I called (R) to get information about the party tonight. She said that she hasn't heard from the person who was supposed to give her the information and also that she didn't really feel like going anyway. But she said that if she heard anything she'd give me a call. No call came.

So there was potential to have a great weekend, but turned out to be pretty dull.

mirevolver Inspired by the mind's eye. Location: Between the darkness and the light.	This weekend had great potential But it turned out to be a dud.
