Oh, man. My procrastination is still getting me at school, but I am doing much better than I did when I was in school before. I think I've realized that I just need to knock it out! I mean I only have like 2 years left until I get my degree. I've been in Asheville for over a year already! If I ever want to find something I enjoy doing out of the service industry, I need to finish this degree. Get into an internship. Hell, maybe even go to grad school! The possibilities are endless. Of course, nothing EVER turns out like you plan, so we shall see how this story writes out!
It is wonderful to have Bruce to like... lean on. (Not to sound dependent.) We both value our independence VERY much, mind you. But he just is so wise to talk to, and so supportive of me. Like he is the laziest person ever (like me), and he'll drive out to get me 5 hour energies and cook dinner so that I can concentrate on my homework. And he is VERY much not the cook a full meal type. And it's really wonderful how similar we are. We are both SUCH cuddly people, so I can be the cuddliest, cheesiest person ever and never feel like I have to hold back... In fact, he LOVES it, which makes it even better! And I just feel like I can tell him ANYTHING. Even things that I don't really want to tell him, I still do, because it just makes everything out in the open with no hidden feelings. I am so excited about moving in together. I still get my fear of commitment and being trapped down from time to time, but it passes. It's easy to calm myself down because I'm like "Well, do you want to break up with him? Hell no! Then shut up."
It does feel so good to be in school, though. Most of the kids here are nice. It takes up a lot of my time, but if you look at schoolwork as something that is fun to do, then it helps in my opinion. Because like, yeah it's not like playing a video game or going on a hike, but you're expanding your mind... it's pretty fun stuff. As Jonathon (that works with Bruce in the brewery) said, you just have to think of it as an ongoing project. I don't think my grades are going to be this superb this semester, but whatever. It's my first one back... I'll do better next semester.
