do you ever start to feel like you are becoming that person that annoys you so much? i'm having an issue with one of my roommates because i just feel like she complains all the time. its not an issue we are arguing about its just something i'm personally dealing with. i end up coming back from my long days at the speech path building and going in my room because its really hard to have a conversation with someone who doesn't listen and respond to what you say and just continue to complain about the same thing. i can only empathize once and then i'm tired of hearing about it. and what's worse is that i think because i feel that way at my apartment, i think i leave and end up complaining about the situation elsewhere. so i'm not gonna talk about it anymore. and i just want to stop talking about myself altogether. so that's what i'm gonna do.
its funny now that i'm in grad school that i'm telling my mom and talking to my mom more than i ever have in the past. i like it. i think we worked a lot on how we communicate to each other this summer. cause in the past, i just felt like my mom thought i was a whiny annoying person but i think she and i are both taking a lot of steps in thinking about what we say and how we say it. i love her. she really is an amazing amazing woman. and i hope that i am like her in some ways.
the things i worry about usually turn out to be the things i shouldn't.
today's my 12-hour day at school. its the best one i've had so far. only one more hour to class. i think i'm gonna do a little bit of research for work.
love love.
