Who would've thought?

Who would've thought I would meet a man at the UTA library of all places? Well, I did. :) So, I leave class early today (about 7:45) because I have to go to the campus library to get some books on clinical depression for a paper I am writing. I have only been to the UTA library one other time, I usually do all my research online. Anyway, I'm walking through campus and thinking to myself how nice it is to be on campus again among big brick buildings and pretty green planters. I begin much reminiscing in my mind about life at UT. i usually just drive to the social work building and leave directly from there, so I never spend any time on campus. Anyway, I get to the library and I am overwhelmed, I have not been in a university library in quite a while. So, I find a computer and look up some books and head up to the 5th floor to locate the books I need. I am walking through rows and rows of books. Wonderful feeling. I finally find my section and there are about 10,000 books on clinical depression, so I start sifting through them. Now, I am the only person for miles of books and all of a sudden up walks a nice man. He walks past me and starts perusing some books dealing with Alzheimer's disease for a paper he is writing. He asks me what my major is, i tell him i am a grad student in social work. He looks quite impressed (another good feeling). I ask him his major, he says neuroscience. i say, one of my best friends (I am speaking of William now) is a neuroscience major at UTD. So, we begin to talk. he actually works at Women's Haven (a battered women's shelter). how crazy is that? Anyway, I made the assumption that he was too young for me when he told me he was an undergrad, but i soon find out he took 2 years off to travel in europe :) and he is acutally 26. Wow!! Anyway, we just stood there and talked for about an hour about everything from traveling, politics, school, future career plans, even marriage since I brought up the wedding I am attending this weekend. It was so crazy. Anyway, we exchanged numbers and we will see what comes of it. I told him that I am very busy this weekend and next because of the wedding and then moving and he seemed a bit disappionted. But, as we were leaving, he told me he was so happy that he came to look for his books right now because that way he had a chance to meet me. How sweet is that? :) the only down side is that he lives in Fort Worth. Even if nothing happens with this nice guy, getting two phone numbers in one week is mighty flattering. The single life is not so bad. :) Well, i need to get my rest if I am going to party like a crazy girl tommorrow night. Yeah for bachlorette parties!!! Anyway, tommorrow starts the craziness of this wedding weekend. I am so excited. Fun times ahead!
