日记：Today my friend Bob stood me up again. He promised to come over at around 4:00, but he had so many errands to run that he just couldn't make it today. Actually what happened was he came across our high school teacher halfway to my apartment, and the teacher dragged him into his class to give his students a pep talk on the college entrance exam. We haven't seen each other for quite some time, and last time we met was in a bit of a hurry. So he kind of felt guilty about it, and left me a book in the bookstore, which is our way of bonding.
