Mission partially accomplished
Three weeks of strategically timing my coffee runs to coincide with Jake’s study sessions and today I finally did it. Actually walked up to his table and asked about the chem lab assignment instead of just staring at him from across the room like a total creep.

He was actually really nice about explaining the molecular structure stuff I’ve been struggling with, and when I said thanks he was like “no problem, maybe we can study together sometime.” MAYBE WE CAN STUDY TOGETHER SOMETIME.

Now I’m sitting here pretending to review my notes but really just replaying every word of our five-minute conversation.
