It has been a while. Part of my absence has been due to my recent move to downtown. I finally live where the action is. People who have been here forever wish to find a ride out of town, but I'm on the bus in. I really enjoy Athens and I think people take what they have for granted. I just love to go downtown and mingle. I haven't done any of that yet, but I'm working on it. Joel moved earlier this week and I was finally able to start moving into my room. I moved into the living room at first. Mike said I could move in whenever since I was already paying bills and so I decided why not. Besides I really despise being so far away from everyone out in the OC. Lacey wanted to help me decorate my room so I have restricted myself from unpacking. Everything is still in boxes. I got rid of all of things I didn't need anymore and now I own like .02 percent of what I use to. It's nice to be satisfied with so little, though. So Friday afternoon helpful my room will get it's smack on. I've unpacked my blankets and pillows and made a bed for myself but that is about it. I love the hard floors too, because it makes cleaning up so much easier. Carpets just suck in general. Another reason why I have been so anti-social lately is because I have this HUGE term paper due for my English class. I finally got on the ball and started writing it and I plan to finish the rough draft tonight. I am even at Athens Tech right now in attempt to start typing up the final draft.
But what I really wanted to tell everyone what made me smile today. I left school and went to Subway. A week ago I did the same thing and there was this cute boy there behind the counter. I tried not to act interested (because I do that when I am really attracted to someone) and just ordered a sandwich and sodie pop. Well, I went again today in hopes that this guy would be there. He was. I ordered another sandwich and sodie pop and this time I forced myself to act interested. So, I left with a smile on my face and I drove all the way out here smiling and listening to Dave Matthews. Happiness. My plan next time is to hand him a piece of paper with my name and number on it and if he's interested then something might progress from this boy behind the counter. He's so cute though and I want everyone to meet him.
Lately, I have been in a happier mood/less stressed. I will be stressed out because of this paper, but I think I've reached a state of calm. I don't know if its because I live in Athens now and all my stress relating to that has been relieved or what, but I know that has something to do with it. In general I want to be a happier person. I encounter all these people who are pissed off all the time and just angry with life and I don't want to end up like that. I want to laugh at life and enjoy it for what I can.
