Don't know why I'm still up. Well, partly because of all the dark chocolate I ate in the last 48 hours. I've been in and out of sleep.
Just a brief update: this has been a long week, and I'm feeling like it may be a longer weekend. Work is kicking my butt, but I've been productive, so I guess it's okay. I can't wait for this season to be over, though. In a few weeks. I just wish I could take another vacation to Savannah or something. Oh, that would be absolutely glorious. I'd want to go by myself again, but I want the safety of friends (although I would much rather prefer the peace of solitude). That bed and breakfast place had me spoiled. For now, I guess I'll live on a mental vacation.
Speaking of vacays, I was in Houston last weekend. It was HOT! I forgot how it could get out there. I was able to see some friends whom I haven't seen in years, which was nice. Houston seems to be coming up, too. A lot of places that were under construction while I was living there are now finished products. It's nice... but I don't know.
I wouldn't mind moving back to Houston (if I *had* to--like for school), but it kinda irks me that there's no true "downtown" that's people friendly. It irks me that there are decent universities in the city, except Rice.* It kinda irks me that the "finished products" I was just talking about is geared towards upper/middle class folks. That, along with the fact that Houston is immensely spread out, it's almost as though there is no chance to meet new people when you are just out chillin.
If any Texas city, I might be more inclined to go to Austin or Dallas (although Dallas doesn't have a huge university system, either). My last trip to Austin really changed my mind (in a positive way) about that city.
I really love Atlanta, though. Festivals, non-extreme weather (most of the time), a downtown where people actually congregate, good schools (well, universities--unfortunately the public school system leaves much to be desired), great cost of living.
Ok, so that was a tangent. I don't have much going on, though. Work. Work. I decided to remove Albert from all my social media venues, cell phone, other communications. I had a lot of anger about the situation which was tied up in how I felt he perceived me...which is not in line with how I perceive myself (i.e., I deserve better than a half-hearted "friendship" and I certainly deserved more during our relationship--all of which he was very capable of resolving). He seems to be resolving these issues with his new girlfriend (I think), which is good for him, but the nagging question for me is: why couldn't he put forth such effort with me? So, there was some resentment about that. But that's fading away because I'm trying to resist letting it become a stronghold over me. Besides, why go crazy over a question I can never accurately answer (and even if I do get an answer, it won't be satisfactory to me anyway lol)?
In other news, I'm hoping this hurricane doesn't cause as much destruction as people anticipate. But I do hope that people are prepared nevertheless.
I guess I better go to bed.
*University of Texas at Houston actually has a great doctoral program in public health, though. I'd seriously consider it, especially if I end up wanting to be involved in school health.
