Girlfriend Woes
So I’m starting to get a little worried about my girlfriend.
She’s in her senior year right now, plus she just landed a job working for a local newspaper. This is all really good, unfortunately it also means her stress level has skyrocketed. I know her, and I know her level of dedication to her work. She won’t stop on a project until it’s perfect and if it’s not perfect well than she’s just not done with it.
This is great in a student and an employee. It’s the reason I admire her so much. It’s one of the reasons I love her. But I’ve also noticed her dropping some weight. She isn’t eating as well as she used to and at first I thought it was because I was trying to make our life style healthier. I’ve been cutting out red meat, adding organic products, using what not white wherever I can. So yeah I thought it was a positive. But one night I noticed her just sort of picking and the food with a frown and I asked her what was wrong.
She said she just didn’t feel hungry right now and kept looking back at the computer where her unfinished project was glowing from the screen. I scolded her for it and told her not to let her body suffer. I’d stay up late and make coffee with her if it would help. I even made sure to pack her a super nice obento today in hopes that she wouldn’t neglect to eat. I know if she’s absorbed in a project than she won’t leave the desk to go get food. She promised me she’d eat it and I old her she’d better or I’d be very very insulted. (kiss kiss) So we’ll see.
Honestly I think she’ll be okay once she adjusts to the pressure, but for right now I can’t help but be a worrier.
