A good test score and a test of courage.

This week was exciting.  Starting last Friday, up until Tuesday night, I spent a total of more than 20 hours studying for my accounting test.  The good news is that I did very well on it.  So even though the 20 hours was hard, they were all worth it for the A on the test.

Shayne, gave everyone in my Mcom class an assignment to buy a "coke" for a stranger.  I took the liberty of buying a box of Nutter-Butters instead of a coke for my stranger.  The story is that I went to the Creamery on Saturday night and told the cashier that the box of nutter-butters what for whoever was in line two-people behind me.  She was confused and gave me the look that said, "Great,  I don't need to know who you are buying things for."  I explained that I needed her to give the treat to the people, and she started to reach out and hand them the box of Nutter-Butters.  I quickly stopped her and explained that she was to give it to them when they got up in line.

The cashier still didn't understand the concept, but agreed to do what I had asked.  I then walked out of the story and watched as the cashier gave the box of Nutter-Butters to the couple, obviously on a date.  I expect eh conversation went something along the lines of this:

Cashier: (Handing the box of Nutter-Butters to the girl) Here, these are from the nice man standing outside.

Girl: (Looks out the window at me and sees me wave) I don't know who that guy is.

Cashier:  Oh, well he told me to give these to you.

Girl: Well he must be mistaken, I've never seen him before in my life.

Cashier:  No, he made it clear that I was to give these to you.

Girl's Date: (Still looking out the window sizing me up) Well, they are a free box of Nutter-Butters . . . we better take them.

Girl:  Ok, we will take them, but I really don't know that guy.

Cashier:  Alright, well have a good night.

Then I got in my car and as I drove past the front of the Creamery, I saw the couple walking down the street with the guy carrying the box of Nutter-Butters.  I assume that He was going to keep the Nutter-Butters, and not share many with his date for the evening.
