Progress
With the nightmare of the Assembly dealt with (via not getting anything done because my fellow "representatives"- and I DO use the term loosely- can't seem to give half a shit about anything.), I can begin to devote real time to all the other parts of my life that need tending to. I'm still on the assembly, thanks to a 7-5-5 vote for my confirmation, but I know now I can't fix all the things wrong with that group and don't have to bother myself with trying. If they can't see something being VERY wrong with how their chairperson is handling things, they are not going to see anything wrong with the other myriad errors in our operations.
One of these other parts of my life is my recovery from this last relationship. I've begun two very important lists: things I know about Mandy, and things I want in my mate, both of which have sadly gone unupdated as I've grown over the last few years. I'd like your help with both of them, especially the one about me, because perception by others is a part of each of us, whether we like it or not. And because you're my friends, most of you, and your input is valuable to me.
The mate list so far:
In other news, I have my first E&M midterm Friday. This means I won't be going out with Green Spiral Thursday- I'll be heading back to study and get real sleep that night. I'm scared shitless- but so is the rest of the class. I'm worried I won't keep all those gradients and things straight in my head. Eugh >.< Hoping he has a second review in class today- we reviewed Monday, and today we have a(n optional) quiz over this week's homework.
