(no subject)
it's official! i'm done with my work.
i finished twice as much as i was assigned, and there are still two weeks left. so what's a girl to do? make a huge pot of coffee (check), drink a pot of coffee on the job (check), lean back (check) and watch imax movies (no check yet, but just you wait)!!!
i'll tell you what's up. i miss home and i miss my friends very much. every day here i find something to remind me of someone i miss. and it's not like i'm dying of loneliness and PLEASE don't think it isn't fun here in the good old district. but my friends are irreplaceable! i feel like i'm missing all sorts of pieces.
i've given this some thought, and i have to say that very little disappoints me more than the lack of girl/guy interaction at olivet. at least, the lack of interaction in my little world. i feel like freshman year things were really normal, and guys and girls hung out like whoa. but once i started dating blake, and really once i started living further off campus in girl-land, there's been precious little time for guy friends.
and what's worse? here and now i have the privilege of knowing some of the greatest guys i may ever know. will i ever meet another tim sommer, tyler mowry, brad krohe again? not likely. do i hope i will? of course. but i'm not counting on it. it's just... how do i put it? i don't know. i feel like something's wrong with me. i feel like maybe i don't try hard enough to spend time with them, but i feel like if i pushed guy-time i might neglect blake-time, or even make blake feel weird... i don't know. or will i make them feel weird? but i have one semester left with those men. what am i supposed to do? settle for group dinners at sodexho, or the occasional romp through bourbonnais?
am i alone? does anyone else feel like it's hard to spend quality with the guys (especially if you're dating one of them)?
okay. in other news, i used a portable GPS system the other day to get my car back from a mechanic, and let me tell you: portable GPS systems are amazing. i really want one. more than an ipod. more than a digital camera.
two weeks and counting :)
