thought of the day part thirty-three: hello boyfriend, I like you
Technically it's not late. Not even midnight. But thanks to the lovely schedule that was hand-picked for me by the uw-madison school of education, I have to go to bed semi-early because I have class everyday at eight.
I feel old.
Not because of the going to bed early or getting up early thing, or because of the being responsible thing, but because in a few years I will be out of school... okay less than a couple years and I will be out of school... and will actually have to act like a complete adult (most of the time...). I keep thinking about how old a senior in college really is, in relation to how "old and super-cool" I felt in high school... or when I first started here at UW. How did I get here?
Moving back to school this year was much less theatrical than my freshman year. My parents were actually busy at my sister's apartment in Milwaukee moving her furniture in, while my new boyfriend (weird, right?), Mark, and I were packing up a few things of mine and driving back to Madison. No big deal. No long hugs goodbye to friends that were off to other colleges, no tears or CALL ME AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE!!!s, no crazy feelings of "okay. I'm here. What do I do now?" though I have to say there was a definite feeling of homesickness, as there always is and probably always will be.
At least now I don't cry for my mom everyday like I did in preschool...
And on top of everything else: I'm watching what I eat, working out more, studying at reasonable hours and not procrastinating as much (give it time...), making my own dinners, and I have a budget (what the fuck?).
I even bought store brand tissues today instead of the pretty kleenix box that would have looked stellar in my new room. And eco-friendly light bulbs.
Jesus.
Lastly, a handful of close friends (or friends who were extremely close to me at one time) are getting married... next summer.
recently engaged couples are:
Betsy Kramer and Ryan Asher... July 24, 2009
Brian Klesius and Lisa Skogg... sometime in August I hear?
Becki Walters and Thad Nieman... July as well?
when did this happen?
and what's up with me finding an amazing boyfriend? I keep having these moments of "yes. mark is your boyfriend." which make me get a little tingly inside, and to think I almost forgot what that felt like...
added bonus: he looks reeeeeeally good in jeans
