There is a chance that she felt uncomfortable and self-conscious about asking you to move, so she said that without waiting for an actual response from you.

I am going to start talking with random girls at my school. If they like me I will ask for their number.
Whenever I talk with one I will just log the experience on this thread.
Iām not gonna have some set goal in mind because then itāll just make me anxious.
I wanna do this in some kindāve ooga booga primal mode without thinking about it
Vector away from random girls and pick random humans instead. Donāt treat one gender like a different species

I wonāt bring it up again, but itās important to understand how much you misread the situation, based on what youāve told us.
This is a 3-part sentence, packed with empathy, humility, and politeness.
āYou can say noā - Iām not demanding you change your spot, Iām just asking an innocent question and you shouldnāt feel pressured to give in to me.
āItās okā - Itās fine if, for whatever reason, you donāt like what Iām asking you.
āYou got hereā - I acknowledge that, per proper gym etiquette, this spot is currently āyoursā and I have no claim to it.
No reason to āshut upā or anything, and Iām not scolding you, I think this is an important learning experience to break down for you. @T3hPwnisher is 100% correct - treating girls like theyāre different, or all potential interests, comes off as forced and awkward, so donāt do that, but when you DO speak to a girl, especially one youāre interested in, not being able to see meaning behind what theyāre saying can lead to disaster.
I like your attitude, and on the lifting front, keep up the awesome work, too.

Was supposed to do the 3 x 10 deadlifts after squatting but I went home due to a bunch of glass getting all over my lifting gear. I also got impaled by a tiny piece of glass just by wiping down my pants. I had to surgergically remove that piece with my fingers.

I donāt know what made me make these like 2 min ago but, I hope they make u chuckle or smirk. Welp back to studying I guess.
Lol, I appreciate the memes and stuff man, but seriously itās all about what you put in to it. Just keep doing what youāre doing. Youāre so far ahead of the game in my opinion I started lifting when I was 28. You just turned 19. You have a million years to do what you want to do. Crush it dude. Just keep doing what youāre doing and take advantage of the time you have.
Edit: also, look into pwns and flaps run through of deepwater. They both absolutely.murdered the program with a lot less complaining than me haha.

Yk sometimes I feel like were all programmed the same way.
Gym is crowded
Itās labor day
Itās like 12 rn.
I guess everyone had the same idea on when theyāre gonna start their day.
Human # 1:
Talked to some dude in my class named kameron. Heās a very very quiet fellow. I just said whatās up to him and asked what heās been up to lately. Then I said I been getting bombarded with a lot of work.
Lol I should just talk with everyone in my class.
We all share the same major so maybe by me being a bit acquainted with them itāll get them to get involved in my org
Yes I am going to log these as Human and then a # after them. Lmao

I broke out of my failing a quiz depression with these thoughts. This was due to thinking about what someone told me yesterday. Thereās a 52 year old man I been talking to a bit in the major class that I failed my quiz in. I would count him as Human #2 but technically heās not a new person. He gave some advice to me about me being president of the org. Ngl I hate mentioning the fact Iām president like 20 million times on this log. I feel like an ass. Besides that he said try doing something with the org that would give students a greater sense of purpose rather than some organization thatās floating around.
I actually thought of a few ideas.
Letās be real. A construction management student needs industry experience.
I would love if members could have some scope of work on different projects (with or without pay) . Maybe the org can team up one or several contractors or engineering firms. But the problem is, even with my little industry experience I know thereās a problem. Project contracts and also the fact that students would probably be seen as a liability. Also internships are kinda for that.
Itās either that or
This org can be involved with habitat for humanity. Lol like we should just go get our hands dirty and help build houses. Problem: Kinda ridiculous but I donāt think any cm major actually wants to do any physical labor. I can understand that though.
Imma be honest Iām really liking the first idea I came up with. Man imagine that along with the events we have planned this year. As someone who knows how an arrogant mind works. I think most would assume a student organization is useless. I want to completely destroy that thought.

You could make sure to get everybody signed up as Student Members (like free or reduced membership fees) of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) or Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) or some other industry/professional organization.
Then you could organize a trip to one of their nation conferences to network and rub elbows.

Forgot box jumps again so I just did squat jumps 5 x 10 at home
60 sec plank, 20 situps 3 sets no rest
This is how I feel right now:
I feel I couldāve gotten 20 on the first set if ignored the burning feeling on my hammies. Regardless Iām shocked at what Iām able to do. Such a nice program.
Brought my airpods so I hyped myself up with the first set. I listened to zillakami.
I was supposed to do light 3 x 10 squats. I prefer to do these after the big sets just so I have a winner mindset for them. I honestly just got lazy and skipped them.
