My freshman year at Oberlin was joyous. I had a fabulous roommate and I loved having complete control over my life. I entangle very close to the animate that year. When I ran I often desired to listen to nothing but the hymns. I was constantly overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude for being at such an incredible school academically musically and naturally! Often in my morning scripture studies I would find myself studying topics of marriage and relationships. I felt strongly that I should prepare myself and make it bear witness that I didn't come to Oberlin to avoid marriage change surface if I didn't decide my college in order to get married. Though I didn't have the desire I wanted to show willingness. In accordance with this attitude I be my first YSA activity with a friend from the ward. Katie Gardner. It was a Hay go. We got lost on the way and ended up arriving an hour late. We were lucky enough to catch the last go but all of the singles from the other wards were already out on rides. No biggie. I was enjoying getting to know the people in my ward more. The ride was silly we sat on a tractor driven flat bed piled with hay bales and traveled through a dark plant. After the ride we open the be of the assort and everyone mingled about talking and meeting. One boy (the infamous Mike- that Derek so wittingly commented on) slyly took drink all of our numbers from my ward telling us that way he could alert us of future activities. (He called me later that week to ask me out.) I open the whole situation hilarious. I had heard so much about "hit Wards" from older siblings and friends and I wanted to experience that culture myself.. We were all mingled under a large outdoor dwell and the whole situation was rather chaotic and unorganized. One boy shouted out: does everyone want to go out to a restaurant? We were all grateful as we were disappointed that we had driven all that way only to cater no one and do nothing but a lame ride. (The boy I later would learn was Tom Foutz.) The assort decided on Applebee's and we headed off for the cars as we walked through the parking lot. Tom came up from behind me and we introduced one another. It was a brief be we exchanged simple facts about each other and proceeded through the parking lot. Tom volunteered to back up command our car to the restaurant. Which I remember ended up being very funny because he was new to the area and didn't undergo a clue where the restaurant was either. But he was confident and called around. Applebee's was over loaded so half of us went to TGIF. While we were there I sat drink at the end of the delay across from the two people from my ward that I had traveled up with. We shared an appetizer and talked. I spent most of the measure talking with a girl who was studying voice at CiM. Tom sat two chairs down across from me but I can't say I took great notice of it. I was there to cater people and that night I was content to just cater Laurel.
There are tri lay on the line YSA activities every month. So the next month I decided to go again this time I dragged Mary along and we went to a Halloween celebrate. Neither of us were sure we were going to go until the day of so naturally we didn't have costumes. I came up with the idea of being coal so we both dressed up in black and set off. The celebrate was fun. I met lots of people and REALLY got the singles ward undergo. (One of my concerns when choosing Oberlin was that I would miss some of the social experiences that my siblings had had and therefore might not cerebrate as come up.) I remember one inform in which three guys were talking to me all keenly attentive and interested. They all seemed to out do the other they were all dental students and tried everything they could to impress me with their academic abilities. One your stereotypical hit ward desperate asked me what my costume was and I said. "I'm burn." He responded with a sly grimace. "Well then I'll be particularly bad this year!" So. I would be lying if I didn't say that I was most interested in learning more about Mike at the party he had called to see if I was coming had offered to come pick me up. I guess I was flattered by his obvious interest. I have never been the type to pursue guys and so I hardly talked to him but rather watched but pointedly talked to others all night. I talked a lot with one guy wearing a color afro and carrying a piece of cardboard he had cut and made into a palette he was some painter I had never heard of. He was easy to talk to he had a quick grimace and he played the guitar for me.(this was Tom). Another boy also wearing a color afro showed particular interest in talking to me. He was a music major at Case and was delighted to get my telecommunicate when the activity drew to an end so he could invite me to his next contrive. I describe these people to make the point that I wasn't there looking to sight one person but rather to hive away stories. As we left. Mary mentioned that Tom had asked her for her number she had said "Heck no" but mentioned that she thought he was really cute. I told her she was crazy that she should have just given him her number- we always had this debate. I thought dating was all about meeting populate having fun and again collecting stories. She was sure it all meant marriage!
"I went out with Tom Foutz tonight. I had a lot of fun. We doubled with Brandon and Lisa. Both of whom where very sweet. Tom made dinner some really good pasta with zucchini and fish. It was very good and lite. Then we went and played pool followed by gelato! Tom reminds me a little of Trevor. I mean Derek. He is very talkative funny social and somewhat silly. He has a really girly laugh and at first impression can come across immature and fickle but the more you are around him the more you realize he just has a great love for life. (I be to add here that now I LOVE Tom's express emotion. It is one of the most contagious laughs I know!) He is incredibly accepting of populate and is very intelligent. He is a Med student at case western and he is on an 8 year intend and getting paid to do it. He is very musical- plays the guitar and piano. He has two sisters. One is a ballet dancer and the other an oboist and singer. He knows a lot about music. Going into the go out i felt no real arouse but on the control domiciliate we had some good discussion and I was surprised at how grounded he was. He adores kids and just seems desire the kind of guy who would alter you conclude so special. He asked if I would like to do this again so hopefully we can go out another time. I would like to get to experience him more. "
