week 1
so i've been here in pittsburgh for almost a week.
major accomplishments of the week:
*i made some friends all on my own...don't think i've ever done that before in my life
*believe it or not, i had someone tell me i'm the most sociable person they've met in Pittsburgh so far
*found a good place to go salsa dancing
today was the 1st day of orientation...pretty boring, as orientations typically are.
and now, my ramble for the day.
this one guy in the program who i met, is so outgoing and such a nice guy. he seems to know everyone, and is always saying hi to people, and i love the way he treats people. he gave me a ride home after orientation, and he walked on the outside of the sidewalk, and opened the car door for me, and i know that sounds really old-fashioned, but sorry guys, that's how you should treat women. and girls, you should expect more from the guys in your life and maybe they'll live up to it if they get a little encouragement. and i'm speaking to myself just as much as anyone else. i don't even really know what i'm trying to say. i guess there's just a lot about this summer that i regret, and i don't know that regret is even the right word, b/c everything happens for a reason and you learn from it. i've just lost my focus over the past 6 months...even the past couple years, and i need to get that back. i'm thinking about trying church again, although i'm very hesitant about that. we'll see. in the meantime, i have a lot of work to do to get my life back on track and to refocus myself.
