Mini-Update Three: Meet the Parents (Not the Movie with Ben Stiller)
Another visit day down!
It started with a really good peer review session (seriously, my students were totally into it! Always nice) and then it went pretty good after that! Pretty really good. Like good pretty really pretty good good really. You know, words in a sequence to denote a day being good!
We did the class, and then I showed Aesa around town. I don’t know if he really cared? But it seemed like a town tour was the sort of thing one does. So I showed him where I worked, and where I went to school, and I showed him the river, and so on and so forth. Surely seeing where I went to high school is SUPER EXCITING! Something like that.
In any case, we had a pretty good time. We mostly just snuggled up on the couch and made ample use of Netflix, which was cool. That was something I don’t get to do very often.
In the evening, though, we went out to eat with my parents. I couldn’t stay stuff to them about our relationship. I just… bleh, I wanted to. I really did! But I couldn’t have that fight right now, and Aesa was telling me NOT to have that fight anyway. Still, the dinner went great. Aesa made a great impression on them, and I tried frog legs and crawdads for the first time. They were both… fine? But I’m not going to go out of my way to get them again. Heh.
Anyway, it was an uneventful, but nice, day. I have no complaints.
