Evelyn

I love this girl so much. She totally just made my day today.

What happened was that we arranged to meet up at 11. It past 11 by 5 minutes and I started to think that she was not going to turn up and that she had stood me up and then I started to think, some people never turn up, like Hayat, and Umi sometimes. June never turns up on times. Then I thought, Evelyn is not one of those people - she's reliable, so I was like, don't waste time getting angry that she was not where we were supposed to meet, but instead, call her. I called her and went to go find her. She was like 2 minutes away, looking for me, because there are many Euston stations.

I got on the bus with her and we were just talking. It is a bit sad, when I ask her about things sometimes. I worry for her. She never gets enough sleep because she always has something to do. Full time work and revision. From time to time I notice she has a new bruise - she does them by accident, when she is at work, because she is a chef. Whenever I ask, she just laughs and says something like, oh, I am an idiot. Then there are the times when she talks about work and how unfair people treat her and she laughs about it to. Whenever I say a situation is unfair on her, she laughs and sorts of shrugs off my comment. The sad things is that she is tries to stay optimistic. Most of the stories she says are in hindesight and I think about when they actually happen and can imagine a person who isn't okay, isn't smiling, and does not think it's okay.

I went to her house today and met her room mates. There are so many! They are so old too. They all said hi the first time they saw me and then ignored my existence for the rest of the day, which I was grateful of, but found awkward, nevertheless. When I went to the toiler, there were three of them congregated in the kitchen and I opened the door. When a person makes a movement, it obviously goes noticed, likewise with sound. I could feel them literally looking at me, then turn around thinking, you are a stranger and I have nothing to do with you.

I had a lot of fun. We revised psychology. First inside. Then we had lunch. Evelyn then made some oven Pizza for lunch. We also had magnum and grapes and just sat there talking. then we went outside to revise and there were like mini statues of dogs and other animals, which I forget. When we got really cold, we retreated back inside. where we revised, then talked about stuff. We talked about Mike, our psychology teacher, who is just so awesome, We talked about religion, suicide the weather and just life in general and just random stuff. It was so funny. We were discussing why females are apparently less likely to shoot themselves in the face.

She followed me to the train station and was trying to insist on topping up my oyster card with five pounds and following me.
