Well I guess this is growing up
So its been a while, I suppose I'll start with the general life update and then move on to the mandatory emotional revelation part of my post so that those of you who really dont need/want to hear all that jazz can skip it.
First off, I spent Spring Break in San Diego with my Dad and my sister. It went surprisingly well, we watched lots of Harry Potter, I slept more than I thought possible but it was definetly needed. There is a perfect spot in the cockpit of the boat that gets direct sunlight for about 4 hours in the afternoon so I took 3-4 hour long naps in the sun everyday. On the last day we went to Seaport Village, a little touristy shopping place, and we of course visited the South Paw Shop, where I purchased a shirt with my all time favorite lefty quote on it, "If the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, then only left handed people are in their right minds." We drove back to Phoenix on Thursday and I had a job interview at Friendly Pines Camp on Saturday. So I drove a total of 4 hours on Saturday to go up there and do the interview, I think it went well but they said they would call me this week to talk some more and they havent yet so...fingers crossed. Thats pretty much the only big news...except that I'm more than likely going on the Eritrean Semester with my lovely roommate in the fall of Junior year. I'm really excited, I've never really been to Africa since I was only in Morrocco for a day and it was incredibly touristy. So yeah...three months in Africa with my Kellie should be fun, and lets hope a couple of cute boys are going to...who doesn't need an African romance?
Alright now on to the boring stuff...
As with Spring Break things have been going surprisingly well. Ryan and I have fixed things, again, but this time it seems like it might actually work. I think our relationship has really changed me, for the better. I spent all of Winter Break freshman year pining for him, and I remember even crying over the summer because I missed him so much. Now looking back on it, that isn't healthy, love is one thing but obsession is another. And as Prof Slughorn says "Never underestimate the power of obsessive love." This Winter Break, even though I was semi sort of attached to Justin, I managed to have a ton of fun with my family, which never happens. But I definetly still obsessed about Justin a bit much, but I think I've fixed that too, I've decided that I wont let my life be dictated by the whims of other people and it feels really good. Being friends with Ryan again has really shown me alot, I don't get the crazy jealous feelings I used to get, or the need to remind him loudly in public of all of the things I felt he did wrong in our relationship. Its nice to know that I can love and not be obsessed, its means that I can be in a healthy real relationship and still have a life. And that I'm also willing to wait for that relationship to come, and in the meantime I'll go to Africa and find Kellie a hot boy so she can release her pent up sexual tension. ;)
