took my shoes off and threw them in the lake
sorry for not updating this week. You can tell my state of mind by how often I update this thing. If I am very stressed, then I can't update because I need time to let things settle into my mind. This week was one such example. The main event that happened this week was the counselling appointment for my anxiety. This was on thursday, and I was a bit jittery because I had found out the day before that I will have to get up and talk in front of my bootstrap class the next time I am in class (this coming Wednesday!). Anyways, we talked a bit, and it was generally helpful, but she referred me to this woman who specializes in counselling people who are nervous for exams and presentations. That was on friday. Wow... this woman was incredible... helped me so much. I realize things I did to sabotage myself, and now I have some strategies to get through it. I'm still going to practise a lot but I know I will be able to get through it.
Last night I went out with Kelly and his friends to Van Gogh's Ear. They teased me a bit for being a lot younger then them, and made me talk to random girls for the sole intention of picking up. I never really understood that... I don't know of anyone who is in a relationship now with someone they picked up in a bar. and I'm not really looking for a one night stand, so I don't see the point. but they made me talk anyways and here were some of the results:
1) One girl thought it was "weird" that I was majoring in statistics. That's ok, because I told her I didn't like her high school (st. johns kilmarnik) because I found it "creepy".
2) Another girl said she liked going to bars to have good conversations with people, however she was the most non-real person I talked to of the night. She's one of those girls who doesn't actually like talking with people... talking about what they are really thinking. She liked talking about drinking... yeah woo.
3) Final girl told me she was turned on by guys with hacker skillz. Best contestant of the night.
So that is the Guelph bar scene. There are certain people who thrive in this scene. I will give you an example of this person. Meet Dan, third year poli-sci major who wears a shitty looking corduroy jacket, stupid looking hat, not shaven in a week, reads Noam Chompsky excessivly, pothead, loves Family Guy, and obsessivly quotes it even though Family Guy hasnt been funny in officially over a year. ugh. That's my rant of the week. I will let you know how this week goes.
