optimistic...
Well, can I just say YAY!
People always say that the minute you stop looking for something, you find it. Now I don't know how true that is, but the minute I gave up, I found something.
I don't know how long it'll last...it almost seems that writing about things curses them, but I guess if its meant to last a while, it will.
It's odd though, usually whenever I feel very emotional, one way or the other, i want to write about it, but for as much as i share about this with people, i guess if i havent spoken to you personally, its too personal to me.
I'm happy, really ecstatic actually, actually I guess there arent words to describe it.
Finally someones that is not only smart, but funny, comfortable, entertaining, fun, fast, and gorgeous...i dont know how i got so lucky, although it almost makes me sad that I settled before. I guess lying to yourself can get you pretty far in some ways, just not in the ones that matter.
School is busy, work is CRAZY this month, but we'll get through it. We have a huge applicant pool for RA's next year, bigger than I've ever seen, which is soooo exciting.
This job has pretty much taken over my life and i dont think i could be happier about it. Although today in my office we were talking about Travis leaving...that makes me unbearable sad, i almost started crying thinking about it, but i know he'll be on to bigger better things, but for the people coming up, those are a hell of a pair of shoes to try and fill. Then theres Lindsay, Ian, Brittany and Maverick who have really made my year so far. I couldnt imagine having a better staff. I dont think I give them enough credit for all they do, try as I might, they deserve more. My residents are utterly amazing too. We have so few problems, and its very much a family atmosphere. It's so exciting being a part of that. I've never been a part of a family like that, and not on such a huge scale. I've always been close with my residents and some have become my best friends, however, i've never had THIS many people that have bonded and created friendships that provide so much stability for all of us.
I'm so proud to say that I'm the HD of Argo. It really is the best place on campus.
It brings me to the whole realization that had I never taken this job, had Russ never mentioned it to me, i wouldn't have done it. If i hadn't i would have missed out on the biggest family/support system/friend base that I've ever had. I've had/have amazing friends outside of housing, but they are relatively few. And most of those are still housing related. People who lived in my area/building, i would have never met had i not been a part of this. People who have completely changed my life, especially Keysha, I would never have known how brilliant one person could be. Its simply amazing.
And Haley, don't get me started. I'm going to be devastated when Travis leaves, but Hay? holyhell. This summer better last, thats about all I can say about that. Talk about a fast and true amazing friend? thats Haley. The biggest thing that sucks about college is the fact that 3-5 years is all you get, then its up to you to make friendships last. Some will, some wont. This is one that better...you hear me Haley?!!!
At any rate, i figured its been a while since i updated. I'm relatively healthy now, extremely happy, and very thankful. quite a difference for me, really, but i'm not going to complain...sometimes new is nice
