A Bit on Friendship
I have drugs. Very cool. I ended up having to go back to the podiatrist last night to pick up my prescription for "super" Motrin (800 mg capsules, one equals four regular motrin). I hung around talking to the nurses, Dr. Patel, and Kathy Lee until they closed at 5:30. Kat and I hung around after everyone else had left and just talked. Have I said before that it's great to talk to her?... because it's great to talk to her. There is this comfort level in our friendship that I have with few other people. You know what I'm talking about: when you can say anything without the fear of sounding stupid or getting jumped on; when the silences are just as comfortable as the conversations, without feeling forced. I wish I had that level of comfort and closeness with more of my friends. (Not that the friendships I have now aren't wonderful, we just haven't reached that level yet). I guess Kat and I have it because we have both gone through so much in our lives, and we have both experienced so much with each other. We leaned heavily on each other for support and friendship, and I suppose that is what has made us so close. There aren't a lot of people in the world that you can call up at any time if you need something, and they will deliver if they can. And vice versa. I am of the belief that a lot of the time you can't see the thing that is right in front of your face (or that you can't see past the end of your nose). But there are some out there who are blessed to be able to see what they have. I think I had a vague sense of the kind of friendship I had with Kat when she left Gordon, but it really didn't come clear until recently. And only now do I realise what I have with her is special, because I don't have that with many people, especially at GSU. My advice to all of you (if you want it) is simply this: if you can see that you have a good thing going with someone, make every second count, and treasure those memories because after this era in your life has passed (Gordon, college, etc) nothing will ever be the same again. Keep those connections with those who have made this part of your life so much fun and so memorable. But especially hang on to the people with whom you have that special friendship, because they are few and far between.
Well, I didn't intend for that to turn into an advice column. :) Back to my day: after I left Kat, Matt took me out to supper at Fridays as a post-Valentine's day present. It was very sweet of him. I got home around 8:30 after leaving four hours earlier just to pick up a prescription. How funny. Honestly though, I really didn't mind going here there and everywhere yesterday. Maybe that's because I feel like I've been basically cooped up in my apartment since the beginning of the semester, only going to the grocery store and practice. Having that taste of "freedom" by going to Morrow and Barnesville really made me want to get out more. That's a big reason why I went back down to Morrow for the drugs. At least it got me out and on the road a bit without feeling too tied down. I'm so used to traveling that not doing it has kind of made me stir-crazy, and I didn't even realise it until yesterday afternoon. Even last semester I was still going lots of places: Bville, McDonough, Morrow, Roswell, all over the ATL. Well, maybe not lots of places, but I went there a lot more than I am now.
Time for some homework and hopefully a nap before class. Later kids!
