Finally An Update
Wow, what a summer. And I don't say that with the enthusiasm that you'd think I would. It's a "wow" that comes after careful reflection.
Things have sure changed around here.
But first, Friday is my 1 year anniversary with George. I love him so much. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. And that's all I have to say about that. :)
So I've finished student teaching, but I can't get a real job yet because Wayne State is a smelly donkey ball. However, I've only got 5 more classes until I get that Master's Degree. I'm not taking a class this fall, but I'll have to take one in the Winter term to keep my loans deffered.
Student teaching (along with this summer) sure did change some relationships for me. And I've come to some important conclusions. One, some people only think I'm cool when they need me to do something for them. For some people, they won't even talk to me unless they need something from me.
Case in point. There's a tie that I don't even feel interested in keeping anymore. Don't get me wrong, for the last 9 years, this person has done more for me than anyone in my family ever has. But student teaching hit it hard. As George and everyone knows, student teaching was hell. I never saw anyone. I was working 50+ hours a week and then still had to check papers and prep when I was finally at home.
My friend didn't seem to understand that. Every time I would talk to her on the phone I'd have to listen for 10 minutes about how I never come over or how I never call and talk to her for hours. Even after explaining that I literally did not have the time, she still would berate me. During the two busiest weeks of the program, she wanted me to find time to drive all the way out to her house (it would take me about 30 mins to drive there) and fix her fucking VCR.
Again, it's back to the "what can I do for you today" syndrome. Also, lately, whenever we would plan on getting together to catch up, it would have to be on her terms. I had to go where she wanted me to go, when she wanted me to go there. And then, she'd never be on time. I'd end up waiting at her house (or wherever) for 30 mins, 1 hour for her to finish up whatever freaking thing she was doing. It's not like she knew I was coming, you know.
I'm kinda sorry that I wasted time and money getting her a gift when I went on my cruise back in May. Isn' that sad? I never thought I'd say that.
Am I totally blameless? No. I could have done more. Did I want to? No. Because I knew what I would be met with. When all you're hit with is negativity, it's hard to pick up the phone.
How's it going now? Well it's been a month and a half since we've talked. That tell you anything?
Well, time for me to get ready for work. Later.
