Reminiscing about the good days

For some reason, the following post never got published. It happened approximately half a year ago, and I found it quite amusing the time. And I still do. So just pretend you're reading this sometime in April, and laugh.

**********************

Something awkward, but quite funny happened last Thursday.

Firstly, it should be noted that I love being mistaken for an international student. It's absolutely hilarious. I don't even dress like one, but for some reason, some people seem to think that because I look Asian it means I can't speak English.

Anyway, these two girls sitting in front of me in the tute were talking in really loud whispers. And I don't know whether they meant for me to hear it, or they didn't think I could understand (I don't talk in that tute), or whether they were referring to some other guy in the room with a yellow laptop, but I heard what they were saying. And I'm 99% sure it was about me. It went something like this:

"Wow, the guy has a really nice laptop. It's all, like, yellow."
"Yeah! He has really nice eyes as well!"

I was wearing contacts. Because it was sunny, and I was wearing my aviators. And I guess people notice my eyes more like that.

Incidentally, they are quite nice eyes. Or at least, I think so. I think they're my only redeeming feature, actually.

But yeah, I don't understand why people would assume I don't speak English. Like, surely even international students would mostly understand English enough to understand what they were saying?

Actually, I think there was a reason why this never was posted. Stupid reason, if I remember correctly. Completely in the realm of nonsense. Just like this whole post.


I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyeseyeseyeseyes.

Word of the Day: Eyes
