My family is coming up to Waterloo tomorrow so that we can all go out for lunch. I’m really looking forward to it. When I was growing up, my family didn’t do things like this. The only time we went out to eat was randomly to McDonald’s, and that was usually because we were travelling and got hungry. They are also going to take me to the mall so that I can refill my printer cartridge and order a dress for Jack’s and my engagement party. I was planning on doing this yesterday, but it was Buy Nothing Day and I was determined not to buy anything. I am very proud of myself, especially since I was craving a bag of cheese puffs at work. Saved myself $1. =P

Speaking of work, we had an incident with a suspicious man. He had approached a young woman at Starbucks while she was purchasing something (no! it’s buy nothing day!), and he kept asking her for her number. After refusing and leaving the store he followed her to our work place (which is the campus recital hall) where there was a concert. I was working the at the concession stand. Before the concert and during intermission he made his rounds to all the ushers (who were all young women) and asked them if they had a boyfriend. He did this to me as well, which I didn’t think much of at the time since the conversation started out like just a friendly conversation. I was then approached by one of the ushers who was trying to warn me about how he has been asking the other ushers about their personal life, to which I told her he did the same to me. He was then asked to leave, which he did, but since nobody escorted him out we didn’t know if he really left the campus.
