Semester in Review
I realize its been forever since I've made a post, and I'm sure you're all dying to hear my news. So the semester is pretty much done. I'm pleased with my performance. Its been a pretty boring semester for me. At the beginning I was dating Aaron, but I had to end that...just wasn't workin out. During that time I had my two surgeries to remove cancer and they went very well and thankfully I have no more to tell about that. My life has really revolved around school and work, with very limited social engagements. Drunken, crazy Joey has pretty much disappeared. Sometimes I wish I could continue that lifestyle but I realize that it definitely created a lot of problems for me. Before Thanksgiving Matt and I allowed a friend to stay with us for a couple of weeks, and THAT turned out a disaster. I learned a lot about people during those two weeks. Its amazing to me that adults can be at such different degrees of maturity. He decided to leave one morning without telling us...we weren't bitter, and honestly I was very relieved. But on the whole I'm glad that we did help the kid. I'm always so willing to help others because I think of how I would feel if I was in a rough spot and I would hope that my good deeds would be repaid in kind. So other than Aaron this semester produced no romantic interests. I'd like to say that I don't care and that I'm perfectly happy being single...but many of you know how attached I get :-x. Maybe its a fault, but it certainly shows persistence and devotion! The vast majority of my cousins now have spouses and most have a child or two, and frankly it makes me really jealous. I want it so badly!! I kinda realize that I'm not gonna get a man here in Greenville. But since I'm a fool about boys, I'd do distance again because I can't stand the thought of missing out on a potentially great relationship. As always, I remain optimistic for the distant future, and I'm sure things in that area will improve at some point, even if it takes another year. Haha. Yup, that was my semester...busy, contemplative, and hopeful. Good luck on exams, everybody!
