This is why I never wait for you

Somehow we are always late for our first class on Wednesdays, no matter how early we wake up, but that was not going to happen today. We successfully made it out the door in time to leisurely walk to the university. Once again I had a mix up of what room my class was going to be in, but all the rest of my classmates were in the room from last week so I figured I was in the right place. Fifteen minutes into class we were starting to wonder where the teacher was until another student came and told us that she was waiting in the classroom on the second floor! Well, that meant class was going to be a little shorter for the day, plus she had to leave early to go to a meeting. Riley wasn’t so luck with his class, but he was lucky enough to finish his paper. He had been working diligently for the past few days to get the paper done before his birthday. Maybe it helped that I bought him his favorite candy bar here, a Mars bar, to wake him up and keep him going. Let’s just say I had a lot of time on my hands since Riley had class all day and I was already done. That didn’t mean I was going to just sit there and twiddle my thumbs though; I had some birthday shopping to do. I lollygagged for a little bit of the afternoon since it was cloudy and rainy outside, until I realized that the markets that I wanted to go to closed at 5 o’clock. I was planning to take a run anyways but now it just meant I was running in the rain to make it there on time. I had to get green pepper for dinner, since we go through those like they’re about to disappear of the face of the planet, as well as some birthday presents. I had decided to get Riley an Australian decorated oven mitt since he is really into cooking now along with a few other knick knacks. I also had to pick up some roasted peanuts like those found at Texas Steakhouse since that is where Riley goes every year for his birthday with his mom. His mom and I had been planning for quite some time about what to do for his birthday and that was one of the ideas we had come up with. I got there right as the markets were closing, but that didn’t mean they were going to stop selling to me, which I was glad for! Then I had to rush to the shopping center to get ingredients for a cake that I was planning to make for Riley before we met up after his class was over. I was a busy little bee, but a quiet one since I had to keep it from Riley.
