Over the past month I've had several discussions with different people
about chivalry. Dislike for the definition it's obtained with some.
Others' want to encourage it. We could go everywhere with it,
but honestly I think it's a calling. And if more men had this
characteristic/standard then probably less women would try to
get attention through scanty dress and low behavior, because
they would feel their worth and then would show respect in
return. It would be a better cycle. But we are dirt.

with that preface:
Tomorrow marks the end of week three.
In my english class I sit by a Esuardo. He doesn't really pay attention.
But could do very well if he tried. The first time we took
a test he was trying to erase something with a blunt mechanical
pencil eraser. I gave him mine, as I was reading a question and not
marking an answer. Some other class session we were given papers
and when they came to my table he was texting so I eventually
got his for him. Today after leaving class he was walking out
of the building before me. He could've just walked out and left,
that is what I expected. But instead he stood there holding the door
open even though I was probably 15ft away.
Maybe he felt obligated? encouraged? Maybe it's typical and
I've just never seen him at the door before.
It was something small. I don't expect it to happen again.
But I wanted to remember.
It's the little things.
