Went to the Newton Valle drive-in last night with Zohra, Kate, Megan, Catherine, and Catherine's friend Patrick. I hadn't been there since I was a little kid. Drove the van, which was hilarious. We got there 20 min. into The Bourne Supremacy, but it was still good. Wish I could have remembered the plot of the first one better. Dodgeball followed and was a bit of a disappointment. The sound was too quiet, the jokes too crass, and the body too tired...not a good combination.
BUT I got to talk to Catherine! and hang out with my friend...I had a revalation while in Chicago that I have excellent friends and I need to seize the day and cherish the opportunities that I have because in a couple weeks they will be gone.
All in all a very enjoyable evening.
Thursday night Joe came up after work and we had another long walk. It certainly didn't help to solve any of our dilemmas, but we had a nice frank discussion. Why does this all have to be happening now, though? As if I don't have enough going through my brain. One minute I'm jumping for joy, remembering the sweet things he said. The next, I'm telling myself this is stupid. I hate being tied down; I love my independence. I have my parents telling me that we need to keep it at the friends level. I have Joe telling me that long-distance relationships CAN work. I have myself telling me....nothing. I plan on waiting this one out. Who know's what I'll be like in a month? two months? I'm moving into adulthood blah blah blah. There's too much going on for me to make a decision now. Luckily I'm not being pressured into one. Just taking one day at a time.
13 days to Creighton!
(Myra, I need to give you your updated calendar!!)
Go Bluejays!
