My roommate asked if I wanted to get different living arrangements. I asked why and she said “Because I feel awkward being here when your depressed and I try to find places to go so that I don’t have to be here.” Her eyes were welling up and I was in shock because I don’t know how to deal with emotional chicks. I told her that she should just confront me if she’s having problems. I actually act depressed when she’s around so that she doesn’t ask me to go places with her. So now I have to cut that out and I’m happy perky stella toward her.

The picture up top is me and my roommate during the happy times. We were at a bowling alley. I'm the one with my tongue hanging out.

Today she asked me if I wanted to go to a bar with her tonight. Normally I would be excited, but the idea of being around her drunken self made me shiver. I said “I don’t have any money.” She said that I could just hang out. I said, “I have to get up early tomorrow.” Which I do, but that hasn’t stopped me drinking before. Now I have to resort to lying to her.

I have come to think of it as a chess game. I never liked chess but I will be accustomed to it soon. I need to get her into checkmate somehow. I’m not sure if I want to go no-holds-barred on her ass but I do want her suffer (just a little). Sadly, I rely on her to pay the other half of the rent so I need to balance everything delicately so she doesn’t move out and I’m stuck paying the rent.

On another note, my infatuation with my supplemental teacher... I will say this, he doesn’t really know I exist. I consider myself a very loud person. Who wouldn’t notice me? When I first signed up for his class I got his email address so that if I had any problems I could email him and he could help.

Yesterday we were sitting in class and one my peers asked a question from the worksheet and he was befuddled. He spent the last 10 minutes of class trying to figure out the problem. Last night I emailed him to tell him that the teacher had posted the worksheet problems on the web.

This is what I sent him.

Tanaka posted the solutions to worksheet #5 on his website: http://www.humboldt.edu/~tt22/phyx106/Check out the weight lifter problem - so you can see how easy it is and boost your busted physics-ego.

Do you see how I subtly flirted with him. Yeah, he didn’t pick it up… this is what he wrote back.

Stella, thanks so much, if I had read the problem more carefully I wouldhave seen it's ease. the key is that the net force was given, I wastrying to work the problem with the 336 newtons as just the normal forceexerted by the weightlifter. Noah.

He started talking physics to me!! I would have just been happy with a thanks. If I don’t start getting results, I might get bored with trying to impress him and my physics grade will drop.
