So yeah.
This Coldplay song, "Speed of Sound"....it's amazing. Every time I listen to it, no matter what mood I'm in, it makes me feel so good. It's one of those songs that always does it for me. My spirit always seems to reconnect after hearing it. *Thanks Liz*
Work is becoming more interesting, thus far, more intense. I'm already immersed into the responsibilities of a counselor---calling students, checking their status, counseling them in person. It's so funny because I'm learning as I go along. Since I have been at this job (roughly 3 months, 5 people have left--most of them were let go), so there's the same amount of work, if not more, for the counselors to do. I misinformed one student today, so I had to call her back. I get paranoid with every student because I want to make sure that I am not misinforming them, but I know that it's going to be inevitable because the magnitude of info we have to know doesnt allow anything but that. I cant harp over every case as I do right now, making sure that I did everything in my power. I think that because I am so still fairly new, I'm meticulously going through in my head to make sure that I didnt leave anything out to tell the students or have them do. Once I am constantly going through these motions, it will become natural to me and I wont second guess myself.
I've went out these past two Fridays drinking with a former girl on my hall at Eastern. Ha. I was her RA. She's the sweetest. We had such blasts these last two Fridays. I drink responsibly, and so does she, so we can still remain sober (well, kind of) and have a great time. We're gonna party hard for her b-day tomorrow, and then do it all over again this Friday.
I'm getting pretty close to a male co-worker of mine, Clayton. He's so complex and intense. He's been burned so many times in his past, and very paranoid about people. He feels like a lot of people misunderstand him. I can relate to him a lot on a personal level. We're both very sarcastic people, so we click on that level. He finds me attractive, and I him. I know because we each listed all the people we were not attracted to in the office, and neither of us mentioned the other. That's nice to know. I dont find him physically attractive, though. I mean, he's too skinny for me. I dont know. It's weird. I'm not going to come out and ask him if he likes me. That's a no no. I've learned my lesson. Besides, I dont want to date him. Flirt, maybe neck a little, but not date.
