Little angel, go away...
...come again some other day - the devil has my ear today, I'll never hear a word you say.
So, the going has gotten a little rough, but I think I'm on the upswing. Never before have I fallen so far behind in classes for a semester, but I think that I'm gonna be able to pull myself out of this mess JUST in time to finish the semester. Lots of work will be late, but hopefully my professors won't dock me too hard. They've really been great thus far in understanding how much of a mess I've been.
I've kinda started seeing someone. Someone who's single, (at least seems) interested in me, and lives in the same city...NO WAI! We're really just starting off and in the "get to know each other" phase, but hopefully soon enough we'll figure out if this is going to be something we both want to seriously pursue. We're both pretty shy and thus we're moving along kind of slow, but to be honest I'm okay with that. If nothing else I'm so busy with school for the time being that I don't have the additional resources to be involved in something super serious right now, and I don't think she does either. I must give her credit though, she really has been the bright spot of my last few weeks.
The only other highpoint of recent times was this past weekend, when I went (along with my brother) to Menasha to see my cousin who I basically haven't hung out with since before college. The weekend was everything I'd hoped for and more - hilarious recounting of old memories, intense bubble-hockey competitions, TONS of Wii Sports (more on that to follow), a few drinks (got to see my little brother drunk for the first time...HILARIOUS), and just a sense of childlike joy that I really don't ever feel any more. My cousin is someone who I have always looked up to my entire life, and I really kind of idolize as a person who is living the kind of life I want to have some day - a fun wife, a house, a dog, a kid on the way, and a fulfilling job. Oh how I hope I can get there one day...it would make everything else in the past seem worth it.
So, I've acquired a Nintendo Wii. I know, you're jealous. Really though, the credit goes out to my brother and cousin who waited at the GameStop in Appleton for like 5 hours to get it for me (in addition to one for them). It's just about the most fun thing ever, even if I only have the game that came with it (Wii Sports). I think we must have spent a cumulative of at least 6 hours playing just Wii Bowling alone this weekend. It's more fun with more people, y'all should stop by sometime and try your hand at dethroning the currently undisputed master of Wii Bowling!
Somehow over the course of the last week I've done a marvelous job of pissing off almost all of my friends in one way or another. It kind of sucks. I think I've fixed things with most of them, but there are definitely still some sore feelings out there. I feel horrible about the way everything happened and I hope that they in time can find ways to forgive me. Time will tell I guess...
Well I'm done stalling, I better get back to writing this paper - it was due last week. Oops. Later all!
