Today was test day and I'm sad to say that I didn't complete it. I tried for like an hour before realizing that there is still so much I have yet to grasp and needed more time. So I sat quietly working on different projects and letting the timer run out.
I was feeling pretty terrible afterwards. I was sitting on the couch and watching some videos when VT said he wanted to check out Santana Row, the most affluent part of the city, to eat and shop. Why not, so we went. We got there and he went shopping at H&M. He told me that he wanted to treat himself after the test, regardless of the outcome. I liked his perception and said that I should do that more often. We talked about what he views as fashionable. Since he's British and a world traveler he likes to think himself to have a superior sense of fashion than Americans. He talked about Church's: bootmakers to Kings and Queens, literally. He talked about cobblers, shoemakers who repair shoes and how important they are to shoe maintenance, which is what we Americans neglect to consider. Since the first day we met all he ever does is talk about how strange Americans and America is and ironically he would love to live here.
The food over there was expensive so we got something at Valley Fair. A friend from high school called and invited us to hang out with him in SF tomorrow. Another friend from college texted to get some drinks tonight at 9PM. We returned to the dojo early, to rest and meet up again tomorrow at 10AM to head out there.
Two weeks left.
