Karma
I've never been what you might call a "traditional" girlfriend. I've done the long-distance relationship thing. I've done the dating-a-friend thing. I've done the have-a-few-dates-and-that's-it thing. So, for the past few months, I've been trying something new: dating a guy on a regular basis with whom I was not friends prior to the relationship. From this, I've learned something.
I hate being a girlfriend.
I hate having plans every weekend.
I don't even like sharing a bed with someone, although this I'd sort of figured out already.
As a result, I broke up with Sam over the weekend. I did it in a sort of chicken-y way that I'm not proud of, but I did it. We were fairly casual anyway, and there are no hard feelings. We can still hang out sometimes, though obviously not with as much frequency. I'm glad of that because I do like the guy, I just don't want to date him. Or anyone.
I think this is an important realization.
Or maybe I'm just on crack, who knows? :)
Of course, karma does have a way of jumping back and biting you in the ass, even when you haven't been nearly as horrible as you'd dreaded.
It seems like, starting in July, I might be working half-time instead of full time. Since I'm currently working 30 hours per week, that means going down to 15. Gah. Time to find a part time job. Here's hoping I've got marketable skills other than ESL teaching :P
