Today was an exceptionally good and alone day.
Things went well, I got some work done, I did badly in my lab and didn't let it bother me.
I just got another condescending e-mail from my mother, attacking my feelings about not wanting to celebrate thanksgiving with a dead bird on the table. I've told her before, in the beginning I wrote a letter to her, chickened out and never gave it to her. She apparently found and read it later and came to tell me she didn't know how I felt and if she had read said letter she wouldn't have made a turkey.
Of course the next dead bird event the letter and my feelings were far from her mind. Either way, again it hasn't brought me down, because I may be spending thanksgiving alone here in my dorm, but I won't have to look at a dead bird. And I am slowly learning to get this alone thing, I knew Halifax would be good for me. I'm not yet enjoying time alone per say, but I'm no longer noticing it? Did that make sense?
Letter writing is awesome, Missy I am responding to you sorry for the wait heavy work load.
I love finding letters in my mail box, brightens my day :3. So feel free to write, my address is on facebook and in the archives.
So many decent things happened today, I really liked the guys in my lab group, talking to them was really cool which rocks.
Also during the crazy-packed-dinner some guy asked to sit with me, didn't say much before running off but it was still cool.
my physics TA said hey in the library which was cool and lattes with soy yum yum. So many uplifting things today, a great start really does help.
So thanks.
