Still slightly sick today and just very weirdly out of it. Consequently, I'm afraid this also won't be much of a post.
After I left class today, I passed a girl fishing for quarters for the meter, presumably to attend the beginner class for which she was already two minutes late. She asked me for change for a dollar, and I begrudgingly obliged. You see, I put forth a lot of effort to hoard and build up my quarters (not just not spending them, but carefully giving change so as to optimize the amount of quarters I receive in return). Now, I know the kind and correct thing to do was to give this poor, flustered girl my quarters (although, I might point out that just around the block is free parking, where I always park and make the trek), but I still felt somewhat annoyed about it. When I told this to my boyfriend on the phone after class, hoping just to vent and hear his agreement, he said I should just feel good that I did something nice and he couldn't understand feeling annoyed. Say what! Am I crazy? I have no problem doing favors for people, strangers or not, but this just felt like my giving up something I work for just to help someone who was late and too lazy to walk around a corner. How is that fair? Sure, I'll do it, but can't I be annoyed too? All I needed was someone to say "yeah, that sucks." Cause, yeah, it sucked!
Blah, I can tell I'm cranky and a little loopy. So that's all, folks.
