I am finally at peace with Texas. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. I have friends here, and not just acquaintances. Its to the point where I couldn't really see living without them. I am satisfied with my workouts for cross country (I am getting faster, and my coaches approve). My grades are good (other than art, but thats because my TA is a bitch from the depths of some smelly swamp somewhere). And the weather is amazing right now. I have the ability to make money here and there with odd jobs, so I get to go out more than I did back home. And my parents have come to terms with the fact that I really dont live at home anymore. I am a nomad, and just sleep at home sometimes.
My only frustration is fencing, because I'm not that good at it and we have a tournament coming up. Everyone is really nice about it though. They have helped me individually a lot lately and have put in extra effort to help me. They toutor me during the week, not only on practice days. I'm slowly getting the hang of it, but I am still intemidated by my opponets and don't like to attack that often. Thats my biggest problem. I'm just happy I get to ride to the tournament with Jon and Michael. They are a lot of fun to be around (they are huge nerds and kind of play off of each other...good vibes).
Jon's exgirlfriend is starting to creep me out. She seems to think that I'm dating him, and she's trying to use me as a tool to get closer to him. I told her that I'm not interested in him that way and that I'm not attracted to him at all and that he's not my type, but she doesn't believe me. I don't want to tell her that he's seeing someone else right now; I am afraid she's going to kill him in his sleep or something. I think I'm going to try and talk to her about it...maybe fix her or beat some sense into her or something. She's been doing this kind of thing for a year now and everyone is annoyed/creeped out by her. Oh well...I still am content...
