but i know the heart of life is good
so last week was jeff's visit, and i must say, it was incredible. well first of all, he was a really good sport, because i couldn't take off work, so from 1-6 i was in the gym. not that long, i know, but i still felt bad and wanted to spend time with him. and i know it could have been really easy for him to be like "i can't believe i came alllllllll this way to visit you and you're working!" so i was very glad about that. other than my having to work, though, everything was really nice. we didn't even do much, but it was just so nice to actually be with him. like, physically together. i've never done the long distance thing, and we talk all the time, but there just is not a substitute for being able to feel somebody next to you. we watched cartoons and game shows and american gladiators and laughed together and ate together and everything was great.
we went to see john mayer on friday the 22 (i think), and the whole experience was so much fun. navigating our way there and back was an adventure, especially since i've been to downtown dallas all of... 4 times? maybe? anyways, the weather was nice (it was actually under 90 degrees), and we both love john mayer so there was very little that could have messed it up for us. the only annoying thing was this group of kids who showed up trashed (uh.... why?) and decided to make like 35 trips to the bathroom or wherever. and there was this little girl who kept getting up and dancing, clearly just wanting attention from her mom and whoever else she was with. first of all, who brings like a 7 year old kid to a john mayer show, and second, who lets her dance around and make a fool of herself? anyways, jeff decided that she was well on her way to slut-dom, and i can't say i disagree.
sorry to bore you with those details of the trip, but i was just so happy to see him, and things worked out so well and i was so excited. AND to top it all off, i sincerely think that everybody (the family) liked jeff. and i'm pretty perceptive to these things, so that made the trip that much better. like, my family was having legitimate conversations with him beyond just the "so... where you from/what's your major/how's your life?" and other generic inquiries.
since this is getting kind of long, i'll just say that work is going really well and i'm definitely glad that i didn't have to spend another summer stuck in a mall. however, i've also decided that next summer i need to do something different. at the top of my list is studying abroad in south america, but seeing as i don't have money out the behind, i'm not sure if that's really a viable option. we'll see.
i've briefly talked to my mom about heading down to austin the weekend of july 13th, and i desperately hope that she'll let me go. i haven't seen any of my houston babies since spring break, and even then, it was just for like 2 days. i mean, having a job that i like in mansfield is definitely helping the summer move along, but i would absolutely love to have some alternative company. sigh... but such is life.
don't call me a nerd, but i'll be glad when school starts. tell me i'm not the only one?
actually you can call me a nerd.
love yall.
p.s. i can not handle all of this rain. i think we're on day 20 in a row? goodness.
