I have probably written in this before. I guess I need to bring my books to school. I have my list, I am just trying to gather more time at this point.

I need to assess my Fasfa.

I need to check the comments that were written in the Canvas?

I need to write to Kevin Brewer but I don't know what I could write.

I am just going to auto write to maintain my momentum and gather my composure.

WolframAlpha.com.

Thank you David. I feel like this is useful enough for me to consider this trip here useful. I do need to check Canva for when classes start.

I feel bad that David felt he couldn't continue the class but maybe that is the right path for him. We all have to find our own way here. He has established a job and such so, I think that he doesn't really need to waste his time.

I kinda want his number just to keep as a collegue but, I don't know how approprieate that is? I mean, I sort of just see him as a friendly guy and I feel like my problem before was not establishing myself in any sort of circles. I need to complete a few things on this list then I will leave at 7:30.

I did manage to procure his address, which helps me. The thing is, which email to write him in?

If I write him in my Pixie Road email, then it would seem I am more inquiring on business, if I use my school email, then it would be as classmates. I mean, I do enjoy his banter, he is well educated but on top of everything else, he seems to have an immense capacity for empathy, but as we discussed, people with that tend to be taken advantage of and, well boundaries are necessary.

I would like us to become friends, more than anything, and to have equal respect for one another, if possible.

I believe he gave me a fake email.

Well damn.

If I am interested in intelligence, perhaps even approaching my friend Nam with this same inquiry might be useful. But I feel it is not right, or something would be off about it. I mean, well, having a goal is important. Does it seem, greedy of me? We're we trying to compare our greed for knowledge?

I don't think it was bad to show David my Milanote. I guess this was the interaction we were waiting for.

Ah, I can manipulate as much as anyone. Being greedy for knowledge is just as bad as pure lust and well, any desire.

As I am listening to the Hall of Champions BGM, I am feeling very motivated to make this game now. I hate this feeling. I mean, I feel it is very greedy and this is... Well, what it means to be an elf. Elves are greed. Elves reveal their ears, as their greed grows, just like Pinocchio and his lies.

I created this mythology, and I understand it's source. As has been revealed to me, my destiny is to reveal the patterns. David must away.

I thought of going to the baker st. cafe with Nam and show off my Thai skills but, I feel like, what's the point in that? I feel like it unnecessarily braggy. Also, I feel like, I need to meet him at his own turf.

Ah yes, this is very calculated and I have to wonder about my intentions but, I guess since it is Mercury in Sagittarius, this is a great time for deeper insights.
