Easter Holiday with Catholics

I worked form the morning to the night. I was very tired, but I decided to go to Easter party celebrated by Catholics in our university. I thought I may see the other girl whom I saw a few days ago. Their program was already started, and I knew absolutely nobody there. A pretty girl came to me, and I asked her to explain Easter to me. She did her best to explain it in a few words. I got it!

I was kind of very strange there, but I was interested to know more about them. She asked another person to be my teammate. We played a few games. One of the games was to throw eggs for your teammate to catch it. We stand in front of each other and she was asking us to increase the distance every round. I could throw the egg correctly in the fourth round. I supposed to throw it over my back, and it was really hard to do that. Even though my teammate was very tall, he couldn't get the ball.

I also got some of the foods they provided.

They already painted all the eggs when I got there. I wish I could paint some of them. I couldn't understand the relationship between all these eggs and Easter celebration.

I talked to that girl for a while. Later I talked to a boy who was very young. I told him about my travel to Italy, and he said it is his dreamland! I remembered that Vatican belongs to Catholics and that's why they worship this place. It was very interesting to him that I had visited Rome. Later, I figured out that he was the brother of the girl whom welcomed me. I was very shy tonight, and I couldn't communicate well with them. When the party was over, a tall girl came to me and gifted a book titled "Rome Sweet Home." I hope that I have some time to read this book.

The girl whom welcomed me was very pretty. "What's wrong with these girls? They are very good. Why shouldn't I consider to be with them?" I asked myself all along there. I can like girls similar to her, but I can't love them. I don't know why. Perhaps I am too old, or I love someone more than them. 

Chili's night!

 I gave my car to Justin to practice with his wife. His wife is going to take her road this the next week. He came after me tonight to go to a restaurant. We went to Chili's for the first time. They had a device on every desk to see the menu and order something. I really liked this idea. We payed our bills with that device.

 The food was very good, and I liked it.

First Football experience

I had never played American Football until today. It was a good experience. I went with some of toastmasters friends and Henry to play Football in a park. The weather was amazingly beautiful today. We really enjoyed it.

Game night

After that Japanese game night, I went to toastmasters game night. A boy played guitar and sang a song. I wish I could play guitar to sing some songs to Taylor someday, but I don't have time to learn it.

Some girls from Taiwan asked me about my age. They got surprised when they realized I am 30. Their guesses were all around 25-26! I can't even imagine that.

When I was in Iran, people used to say that I looked older than my age. I was 26, and they saw me like 30. Now, I am 30, and people see me as 26. It seems that my age got reversed as I came to the US!

I bought some flowers and a big cake. I used to have one of those flowers when I was in my home country, and I wish I could have one here for myself.

Japanese game night

Tonight was a Japanese game night. I went late because I just wanted to see what's there. There is a Japanese girl that I like, and she was also there. She knows that I like her, but she is too young for me. She is a very naughty girl.

The feeling was amazing. It was like I was in Tokyo.

A professor talk who was an entrepreneur

There was a talk in our university today by a professor who was an entrepreneur. It made me think that I might be able to do something similar to his work for my thesis. In fact, start-up companies are researching for a business model. This research can be a doctorate thesis. Can't be?

Easter music

I went to that Indian meditation event with Jeeraj. After meditation, we were walking around the campus that we heard some guys are playing music. When we approached that place, a girl saw me and smiled at me, and it was like she had seen a friend she really loves. Her name was Taylor. I thought that I was wrong, and she might have seen a friend (like a few days age when Sophia saw her friend and I thought that she had seen me). However, she came to talk to me after the show.

She: Hi. I saw that you were taking pictures.
Me: Hi. Yes. I take pictures of everything! What is this for?
She: This is for Easter.
Me: What is Easter?
She: We are Catholics. We believe that Jesus returned after three days, and we celebrate this every year.
Me: Interesting. [Oh, Another Christian? So, you didn't like me? You just wanted to advertise your religion to me?]

(Very long conversation about major, religion ...)

She: OK....
Me: OK....
She: [Smile]
Me: [Smile]

She expected me to do something like asking her number or exchanging Facebook or whatever, but I didn't know if I should have done that. At first, I thought that she was just wanted to advertise her religion to me, but after our conversation, I realized that she liked me. She was only 18, and it was her first semester. I had this feeling that this might lead to a very passionate love for her, and I didn't want to hurt her. So, I didn't exchange numbers.

She talked to Jeeraj a little, but it was obvious that she was not really into talking to him. She just wanted to show that she was a sociable girl, and it was not a big deal that she had talked to me.

Jeeraj: Who was that girl?
Me: I don't know.
Jeeraj: I though that she was Ann and she came to say, "I love you!"
Me: No, it was my first time seeing her, and Ann never say this to me! She has a boyfriend.
Jeeraj: But she came to you very passionately that I thought that you knew her.

He was right. Kids, it seems that my changes are positive. For the first time, I see that some girls are showing their interests to me.
