... to someone you know but never speak to.
So to be truthful, I totally forgot about his task today at school. Which is a shame because I had lots of ideas for who to talk to and how it would go... but oh well. So I remembered when I was driving home from tutoring my cousin and I decided to go to the library and introduce myself to one of the librarians. I go to the library more than the average person so I kind of know them, but I've never really talked to them or anything. So today I went in and walked up to the information desk where a guy named Will was sitting. I said "Hello, my name is Brittany _______ and I'm a senior at _____ High School. I'm going to be doing an oral presentation on Saint Patrick next week and I was hoping you could help me find some information." Will was very nice and he helped me find a few books. He wasnt happy with what we found though so he got on the computer and printed some things off for me as well. We held some casual conversation from which I learned that his sister's birthday is March 17th and that he isnt much of a Christian if he is one at all. He is intrigued by history, mostly, and also the idea of how people traveled long distances way back when. He has a wife and two young daughters. He loves biographies.
I really enjoyed being so nice and talking openly, you know? I usually wouldnt do the whole "friendly conversation" thing because it's kind of pointless. But it seemed like a nice, adult thing to do. I came out of the library with arms full of unnecessary information about st. patrick but a feeling of accomplishment for sure.
also- two of my tasks thus far have involved the library. I just realized that.

I like what you did! Yours was really worth it. So did you totally make up that thing about St. Patrick??
P.S. Sorry I didn't call you today, so much has been going on and I just didn't get a chance. I really want to call and talk to you about everything because there's so much to tell you.
i wish I could talk to you but it's past ten. plllllease tomorrow? I want to hear about everything.
and we really are doing project things and hannah and i have st patrick but I dont need stuff from the library on him.
I want to call you soooo bad I have so freaking much to tell you but it's pretty much almost 11 and I still haven't started my Calculus hw...and it's not like I could call you anyways. I will definitely call you tomorrow because it's our day, but, my stupid work schedule is killing me.
