I've written this in my most recent novella, and it's the idea that timing is everything, from the tick of the clock to playing a Steinway and Sons. It's something that plays a big part in our lives. Miss a note and the song will sound off, arrive late and you'll get marked absent.

Gucci days with B strolling around town shopping for her shoes and all of those chill vibes. When will she ever get them.

Speaking of merchandise, it's real hard to give the right gift. Although the giver may find it to be a nice gift, the receiver might not. I guess it's just all a matter of luck. People have different tastes, so these situations are inevitable. There should just be a few classes on gift giving, maybe it could be placed under the psychology or sociology department. Or if it gets popular, its own Department of Gifts

The first introductory course begins with Professor Omiyage

GFT101: Gift Giving Theory (Introduction to the Gift)    M W F 10:15-11:30    Mr. Omiyage
This introductory course begins with the history of gift giving and how they began to arise in the world we live in today. We will then explore the nature of gifts, and study different gifts for different occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries, as well as what makes a gift worth remembering through general theories in presentation, style, surprises, and the time of offering. 

And then once they take that introductory course they continue on to the intermediate level with Professor Li Wu.

GFT201: Gifts and Culture     M  2:45-5:45    Mr. Li Wu
This course will progress from GFT101, continuing on to study gift giving in different countries focusing on societal/cultural values, theories on modesty, and the psychology of acceptance.  

Then once students complete these two courses, they take on advanced and contextual, hands-on courses.

GFT301: Aesthetics and Finesse   PREREQUISITE: GFT101&102)    T 1:30-4:30    Li Wu
In this advanced course, students will study the very presentation of gifts, including wrapping, color, ribbons, among other techniques to explore how a gift can be aesthetic and visually evokative with finesse. By the end of the semester, students will generate their own gift designs and will be graded based on its visual presentation. 

GFT322: Gift Failure  PREREQUISITE: a guy named Sean Kawakami  Th  2:30-As long as you want it to be     

This advanced course studies the reasoning behind failure in gifts. Students I will study the concept of acceptance, budget, cheesiness, luck, and probability. But at the end of the day, I will come to realize that it's better if the gift is returned and purchased again by a happy customer that will use it than it just lying there by the side not serving its purpose. So I totally understand, B. Heh. Let's go buy something together. (Cough) your shoes (cough).
