side by side or miles apart true friends are always close at heart
i had a phone date with cassie tonight. it's amazing how a 15 minute conversation can make me feel sooo much better. talking to someone who genuinely understands you and is able to actually listen is the cure to any sort of problem. i'm grateful that i have cassie to turn to in that sort of situation. i needed someone to just listen to me...and cassie pulled through :)
as i'm eating my chocolate pudding, i've been thinking a lot tonight. this thinking allows for procrastination of studying which is always a good thing. i've learned a lot about people this year. in response to what i've learned and observed from others, i think i've become a stronger and better person. or at least i'd like to think i've grown from those situations, as corny as that might sound. it's been somewhat of a struggle to still see the good in people when i'm surrounded by many negativities. deep down though i try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. plus, i've adopted the kind of attitude of treating others the way i'd want to be treated. when i'm treated poorly by others, i take note of it and realize that i'm not going to do the same thing to make others feel like shit. bc there is nothing worse than being talked down to or being bitched at. i don't think people realize how they talk to others sometimes. they don't realize how their tone can affect how others feel. little things like if they respond to a question i ask w/ a shitty tone really bothers me. ughh i can't stand it. but i've learned to look past it and just shrug it off. but like i said earlier...i'm trying my best to treat others they way i'd like to be treated and still remain positive and optimistic in such negative surroundings.
i'm going home this weekend, kind of... it'll be the first time i've been home since august 1st, craziness. it's been rough being away that long. i'm leaving late on friday, after i work. i'll get home around 10:30. then on saturday brian and i are going to the notre dame football game :-D ahh! i can't wait, it's going to be great. we'll leave sunday fairly early which will be nice because ill have the rest of the day to get my work done.
iu's men's soccer team has big tens this weekend. they leave tomorrow and play their first game on friday. i'll be thinking about them while i'm at home over the weekend!! i want them to do really well...they deserve it! anddd iu football is one game away from being bowl eligbile!!!! they are going to go bowlin ;-) i'm so proud of the boys!!
r.i.p. grandpa, not a day goes by where you aren't in my thoughts. we love you and miss you.
