Can I be Mrs. Brenner?

Thursday.

Class, lunch, class. Drew naked lady in life drawing. I was able to finish my Indigenous paper. Printed it and turned it in to the assignment box. I went home and grabbed some dinner, then turned around and went back to school to meet up with a group who was going to Max Brenners. I’ll explain what that is in a second, but for the fluidity of the story I’m going to move on.

While waiting at the bus stop I got talked to Ty for a bit. Ty is the ASC assistant. He just graduated from APU last May. So we played the “Do you know” game and listed everyone that we could think of that each other might know from APU. We did in fact know a handful of the same people. We discussed the fact that we probably saw each other around and didn’t know each other. I went to his graduation so I probably saw him walk and didn’t even know it. Crazy. Anyway, it was cool talking to him.

Now, Max Brenners is a wonderful place, where everything as chocolate in it, or on it. It is fantastic. I split a chocolate frappe drink with Megan. Toffee milk chocolate frappe. So good doesn’t begin to describe this drink.

A girl that we went with from Wesley was Rohita. Rohita is originally from Oman, but now lives in Australia. She is a dance major and she works at the library at Wesley. She is too cute, and it was really fun getting to hang out with her. She got something called Italian hot chocolate. Or something like that. It’s basically chocolate soup. Outrageously good. And it comes in a cup called a hug mug. The opening of a hug mug is shaped like an oxygen mask, so when you drink out of it, the top of the mug doesn’t run into your nose. Brilliant.

We ended up staying there for a while, telling bad jokes and attempting Aussie accents. Ty is insanely good at it. We deemed it his alter Australian ego Bruce. Ty tried to coach me on how to properly pronounce words like ‘no’, ‘go’ or ‘so’ like an Australian, but it is so hard! He kept telling me how I should be moving my tongue. I realized that I have never really been very aware of my tongue or how it moves when I talk. But after that lesson, sometimes I become hyper aware of my tongue and how it moves when I talk. Don’t over think about your tongue people. It will drive you crazy.

I got home later than I would like to say. And I still had an article to read and an outline to write. But it was totally worth it for a night out with the gang.
