" 'I think therefore I am' once said the famous psychologist, Cogito, Ergo Sum."
My professors teaching seemed to blurr.

I was watching one of my university lectures that I'd missed. At the moment we seemed to be learning specifically about famous psychologists quotes and the meaning behind them.

I really enjoy how the human mind works. Which is exactly why I chose to do a course on it. My university intuition gets paid for by my old hoghschool, which is pretty awesome. My old highschool is really famous, so they give a lot of opportunities to their current and even old students.

I've been finding it really difficult focusing on my lectures lately. It's been almost exactly two weeks since I met the man drinking rum and coke.

Yet...

For some stupid reason...

I can't stop thinking about you.

"Now does anybody know what this means? The theory or thought behind it?" My teacher kept rambling on about this said, Cogito Ergo Sum.

I wanted to see him again, I wanted to finish what I had started that night. Before Jerimia had interuppted.

He had even been distracting me from my job. I could bearly work a day without wondering what his name was.

I closed my laptop, I obviously wasn't paying any attention to what my lecture was about. So what was the point.

The wind blew in through my window leaving me in a cold shiver. I got up from my spot on the floor and went towards the windows

I stared at the setting sun. The colours of orange and red conflicting in the sky brining a purplish hue with them.

My head shook. "I do need to get this assignment done. If I don't then I'll get in far to much trouble."

A long and weighted sigh left my throat.
"I just need to spend tonight doing this assignment and I'll proof read it before it's due."

I closed the window and left to sit back on the floor leaning against my couch and behind the coffee table.

"Just tonight, and I can go do something tomorrow night." My conversation with myself finally ending and being the beginning of a long study session.

As the time passed it got later and later. My mind drifted elsewhere a number of times, leaving me constantly rewinding the videoed lecture.

Time seemed to go by at a lightning rate. One minute it's 3:40 PM and within 5 minutes I should have already eaten dinner.

I got everything I needed to down for the mean time. Of course it could be better but I'll just fix it up later on.

"I'm exhausted. I need to go to sleep." I mummbled walking over to the bathroom.

I picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. The tube of rolled up toothpaste was at the end of its days. It needed to be replaced.

Now with my teeth clean and my mind drained I knew there wasn't anything that could distract me from my sleep.

***

Oh boy was I wrong. I spent half the night 'day' dreaming about a complete stranger! Like for God's sake! I don't even know his name!

And with that thought, I knew exactly what I was gonna do tonight. Cause why not. Maybe he'll be there tonight. The same day, same time. I won't let anything get in my way this time.

I refuse for it to happen.

Not again.

The day seemed to drag on forever.
Mundane bits and chores, like washing, cleaning, sitting around. All the regular stuff.
