Wednesdays

You either hate 'em or you love 'em. Now that is usually the case with Mondays. But when it comes to Wednesdays? Maybe not. Are you the person is upset that the week is half over? Or are you glad that the weekend is rolling in?

I enjoy Wednesdays (mostly because class is shorter), but they are also a night where I have free time. Now, today on this Wednesday, I don't exactly have "free" time. I'm pretty logged up with calculus and computer science homework, but even with that crazy bundle, I still am enjoying the day.

Today a friend spoke to me. I call them my evil twin because we always get confused with each other. We do look quite a bit alike other than the height difference. They are a bit taller than me, but not by much. Before today, they were not "they" to me. I was honestly surprised, but not so surprised that I was shocked.

I said to them, "Wow. We really are evil twins." While I do not identify with they/them pronouns, I still understood the situation for the most part. So I thought that was really neat. We continued to talk for a bit, and then afterwards, we agreed to try and go by each others' "new" names and pronouns.

My story will be saved for some other time, but I cannot express my moment of happiness for said friend, especially since I knew nothing of the situation beforehand. One reason I think they were comfortable telling me is because they could also sense how I am, and they also knew I am not much for judging in the gender/sexual spectrum. (However, if you are really dumb, I judge pretty darn hard.)

So not only was it a great Wednesday to start off with, it became even better. I gotta say, you either love 'em or you hate 'em. ;)
