October 22nd, 2025: Another day of classes and work. I woke up at 7:30am and finished off my cereal. I didn’t make coffee again and I got all packed up for heading to campus. I left at 8:15am and got there by 8:30am. I got into the place that Day works at and told her:
“Good day to you.”
And ordered my typical drink from a different employee. No smiley face on my cup. I got that and then went upstairs to write a good amount in my blog, including the March 8th, 2024 to May 31st, 2025 archive working on copy-pasting some stuff I forgot to add from the original soyjak.blog bread this blog/diary was on. I got so off track with that stuff that I ended up going until 10:10am when I went over to my first class of the day, Greek Mythology. I spent most of it writing and fearing I’m gonna be called on. I wasn’t called on, I went to my second class and learned about Roman art, with the eruption of Pompeii being mentioned in 2 of my 5 classes so far. I saw people were bullying Will Stancil on Twitter with images that just said: “It do be like that Mr. Stancil” and it was all of his replied. Tiffany posted on her Instagram story telling people to get more misandrist now so I was very tempted to ask her if her boyfriend left her. I then went to get potsticklers for lunch and passed by Ginger girl’s friend and said hi. I then took the bus to work and clocked in pretty early. Seth M’s friend came to me and gave me these keys saying:
“Seth M’s not here, he wanted you to have them.”

I couldn’t help with flicking the building cutout on the Medina, Saudi Arabia keychain to watch it spin. Portia called me over to help get the new volunteers IDs, but when I talked with the graphics guy, he said we would be getting new ID cards for all the employees with a different design. The graphics guy worked on a new design and gave it to me, he called over the Polish lady to help, I told her about my suggestion that we include an indication of when they started working or volunteering here. But she objected:
“But what if clients look and see that the employee is a newer one and they get upset at the lack of experience.”
I thought it was stupid and had to contain my smirk on my face and just went along with her suggestion, they kept my date issued suggestion. I joked with Keke, Kiana, and Ahwahn while they were here and saw Zarith C, Shima C, and what appeared to be one of their daughters with them, the daughter appeared to be in her late teens. I fruitlessly helped the Ukrainian man with a charger port issue for a volunteer computer. I did miscellaneous stuff until 4:00pm when I left to take the bus home. I got on and off and unloaded my backpack and loaded my drawstring bag with a journal, my Bible, and a water bottle I put some vodka into. I took the bus all the way over and was the first one in for Bible study. Cronstedt let me in and we looked at all the food in the place and decided on hamburger patties with salt and pepper. The married girl’s sister’s boyfriend came in later and I showed him downstairs to get an A&W and then I showed the boyfriend where the last A&W root beer was. We got up and then watched this SEEK video by Father Mike Schmitz. Before getting out patties, I saw an entire bag of whey, the same kind of bag they have for cat food.

We watched the video on the Eucharist from 2015 where Father Mike Schmitz mentions a blond haired blue eyed guy from Nebraska flirting with this Baptist girl. Elijah came in late in traditional Latin American fashion, I loved the patties so much that I scraped the spare crumbs onto my plate. We got done with it later. Another person came in saying:“I haven’t been here in a few years, is the men’s dinner still going on?”
Father Palmer was here and he said no. Adam II came in and then left. But I left once the video was done and got into line for confession. I completed the confession and had to say 3 hail marys and 3 our fathers. I just did the whole rosary. The thing got done and then we had mass where the OFM priest (not Malachi, Aquinas, or Palmer) gave a homily about Pope Saint John Paul II and how people would shout in English:
“JP2 we love you!”
With him replying in a thick Polish accent:
“JP2 loves you too!”
We then went to the social afterwards, which was inside due to the weather getting colder. You had to go outside then in a door to get there. I followed people inside and talked with the Keralan girl and this other guy whose parents were from Kerala. I asked her about her trip to Hawai’i and she then mentioned a shorter trip to Vermont. I asked if they were siblings and they denied it. The Keralan guy came over and I remarked that the Keralan guy and girl looked much more like siblings than the new guy. I talked to Elijah some and then Sideburns. The woman I harassed over not having a confirmation saint told me to meet her husband named John. I decided to ask them how they meet so I could learn from the guy on getting a girlfriend. Spoiler alert: Tinder. I then got a Capri-sun they brought out and talked to Elizabeth. Elizabeth told me her sister living in New Mexico alternates between being 2 and 3 years older than her. Elizabeth is currently 26 and her sister is 29. I saw Cronstedt and Cliffe come in at the same time and they knew each other. I talked with Quinci a bit before seeing Gina say bye to Elizabeth without giving her a hug. Elizabeth told me about not getting a hug and told me not to worry about asking Gina. I didn’t care and went outside and saw her sitting on the ADA ramp railing. I joked with her about Elizabeth not getting her hug and she went back inside. I walked to the bus, got on and then off, and went to sleep.
