(no subject)
*disclaimer - I am really tired so if this all becomes mumbled ramblings you know why.
First, i still have not heard from Emory. Last Friday was the first day they said we might hear from them, otherwise they said it would likely be this week. The nerves have set in hardcore. I honestly don't expect to get in because it is a tough school and the interview didn't go as well as i had hoped, but I would still like to know the news good or bad so i can start planning for next semester/year.
In other news, last Friday Virginia and I went apple picking (not really because all the apples were off the trees, but we tried, haha) in Trifalger, IN. The drive up there was gorgeous and the orchard was adorable. We played in a leftover pumpkin patch, took photos by the pond, visited the petting zoo, sampled some apples, and of course bought some apples. The weather was gorgeous and it was a wonderful afternoon with the lovely VA. Also, do you remember Carmel Apple pops? I loved those in high school and had completely forgot about them, but they had them at the orchard. They were delicious and now i am on the hunt for more. That same evening, i poked another hole in my head. Lindsay and I got our tragus pierced (the piece of cartilage that kind of sticks out of your ear). It hurt worse then the nose piercing, surprisingly, but otherwise, it was a little thrill. I really like it, but i wish i would have thought about it more because putting the stethoscope in my ear at work was very uncomfortable. Not to mention, i am sure the bacteria on the stethoscopes is not good for a healing piercing. Oh well. To end the night, John and i went and saw Jarhead. We attempted to go the 745 show but it was sold out. So, we bought tickets for the 10 o'clock and hit up Irish Lion for some soup and drinks. We got back to the theater at 930 and there was still a line to get into the show, craziness. I really liked the movie though. It was different than I expected, but i still thought it was really good. I definately recommend it.
Last Saturday was the IU- Minnesota game. It was an awful game and very disheartening for Hoosier fans. Luckily, that night made up for it. VA and I saw Marc Broussard for the second time. He was even more amazing this time. I love his music, the soul he puts into this performances, and his overall stage presence. He absolutely rocks. His second opener, The Alternate Routes, were also very good. We met them and talked to the lead singer for awhile, who was adorable by the way. I bought a CD and i have been hooked every since.
Now, onto a more serious subject. I don't often talk about relationships and the fact that i have even mentioned "boy" in previous entries is very unlike me. But for some reason, i feel the need to share this one with LJ and the few people who read it. Boy and I became official a couple weeks ago. I never, ever thought I would say i was dating him again seeing as how the first time around was pretty much a mess. This time has been so different though and I have found myself absolutey smitten. I fell for him two years ago the first time we went out, but when things ended, i didnt think i would ever see him again and i replaced my liking for the boy with negative feelings from the way he treated me. He soon became "jackass" to most of my friends. This time, there are a lot of people who ask me why i still talk to him and why i am doign this again. Honestly, I don't know. It is very unlike me, but there is something about him that drew me back. Again, to be honest, i dont think the feelings from two years ago every truly went away, i just think they were masked by the negativaty and the knowing it wouldn't ever work out. Well, here it is again and so far, it is working out wonderfully. I am falling hard and I am scared out of my mind, because any day now, he could just disappear. And while, i keep telling myself this in the back of my head, he keeps doing things to make me think otherwise. First, he admitted his quitting smoking (we are talking a pack a day since he was 16) was in part due to me and knowing that i would be happier if he did quit. Second, and probably the biggest step thus far has been him apologizing (with flowers and wine, mmm so good) for everything he did to me in the past and for hurting me. That was very much out of his nature and i was shocked. I've begun to introduce him to friends i didnt have two years ago and they have all said he was a nice guy. i think this time around, he might truly be a nice guy. Point of all this being, I got some very good advice from a dear friend of mine. She told me to "Believe it will work and if it doesn't, you'll survive." Simply put, but very true and something i think we all need to hear. If we don't take risks, you never know what will happen. Seize the day, believe in things you are truly passionate about, and if life doesnt work out, you'll survive, move on, and new, bigger, better things will cross your path. If not, you've at least become a better person. It goes hand and hand with everything happens for a reason. Tomorrow, the next day, next week, or next month, i could be typing about me being single again. But for now, i've decided to proclaim my happiness with what i have because i know if it doesnt work out, there will always be tomorrow.
Sorry to get all sentimental. I hate talking about relationships on a public forum because I think they are private things (not to mention, it annoys me when all i see is things about significant others. mushiness = yuck), but i feel like this one is a good learning experience for me, as well as others.
To conclude, i am tired of school, but only 5 more weeks, i hate my job, but a new one is being looked for, i am anxious about atlanta, but it will work out in the end, and i am very happy with boy, no buts. I appreciate all your support whether you agree with it or not.
Love to you all!
