Almost a new year
I'm in Cleveland right now visiting my parents and waiting for dinner. We're having people over and my mom's making lamb (my favorite). It's been a kind of slow day, but I've gotten some TV viewing in and now I'm doing some research for school. I have a biggish thing due by the time I get back, so it's definitely time to start crackin'
I've been watching this show on Bravo (I think...) called Bridezilla. I'd seen an ad for it before, but I'd never seen the actual show. It's pretty funny, but I certainly don't envy those girls. I guess since I'm going through some of the same stuff too, I can relate a little bit to their issues. Sure, they are WAY overreacting to every little thing, but the stress level for this mess is huge and I think I'd probably be upset if the best man showed up falling down drunk to the wedding rehearsal too (although I'd be more pouting, less crying).It is neat to see the decorations and dresses and stuff though.
Christmas went well. I came up here from Atlanta on Christmas Eve. It was nice to see everyone in Atlanta and finally get a little down time after some uber-stressful exams, but it's also been nice to sleep in the same place for more than one night in a row. Going back to Atlanta felt good. I know how to get places and where to find the good food. Here in Cleveland and back in Houston, I'm constantly at a loss for basic staples like the Mexican food I like and places other than home or school where I can just chill out. I've made some good friends in Houston, but I'm still not comfortable enough to call one of them up in a blind panic when something bad happens. It would be nice to have another layer to my support system out there. I have Ben and that works for most things, but he can't do and be everything, he's got his own stuff to do too. I guess it'll just take more time. So far, I've seen the good parts of a lot of people but also the shallow, hypocritical, bitchy parts of people too and those negative qualities get in the way of my wanting to spend time with these people. Really, I just need to find some friends outside of my coworkers/classmates to get things shaken up a bit.
This post is starting to get a little emo, so I think I'll wrap things up. Really, life has not been bad at all and I though I can't say that I'm enjoying every minute of it, it's riding pretty smoothly and in the party-approved direction.
Love, K
