I'm definitely worried about my finals this week, and am dedicating all of today and tomorrow to working on final projects (this is saying a lot for me being the procrastinator that I am). But I need to because I didn't get any work done this weekend. Saturday afternoon I tried to work, but then I went on a trip to Wal-Mart with Allison, Abel and Woody to get our costumes for the Anything Goes But Clothes party that night. Allison went as bubble wrap, Abel went in a towel, Woody in a wetsuit and I wore a halter dress made out of a picnic table. It was fun and we definitely got some weird looks on our way out of here that night. We got back at 2 AM and then Elaine, Em, and Phil picked me up at 2:45 AM to go to Cincinatti to watch Jenny and Nicole run in the Flying Pig marathon (so yes I didn't sleep that night). It was amazing. I'm in love with the city of Cincinatti because it's really pretty and now I want to move there after I graduate and teach there. Jenny ran the whole marathon (26 miles) and Nicole ran the half (13 miles). They both finished and I was so proud of them!!!! I was watching all of the runners and thinking "Wow, I'm the laziest person on Earth." It was just amazing, and I've already said that five times, so moving on. Jenny finished the race at around 11 or 12 and then we went and had lunch and drove back to Muncie. I went to church with Dominique and then we got Chinese food. I love hanging out with Dom, she makes me laugh. And I love how watching a marathon just caused me to blimp up even more instead of actually work out like I should, oh well. And J-Fry came back for the day, and I missed her so much and I love my present from England that she brought me!!!!!! Then I came back to my room at around 9 and actually tried to work but then I went to bed after a couple of hours because I had not slept the night before, until a friend woke me up to have a heart to heart. And in response to that, you shouldn't care what other people think. Do what you want to do, what makes you happy. And everyone makes mistakes (and if you are me you repeat them a couple times before you actually learn from them). All you can do is shrug and move on, because it's stupid to regret them if you can't go back and change it. And there is a right relationship for everyone out there. But why can't you have fun while you are waiting for it? And eventually when you find the right relationship, you will settle down. But right now you should enjoy being single!!!! And I understand everything that you told me because that's basically me and how I feel, too. So if you need to have another heart to heart, I'm here.
