I think I stopped using this this when I realized that I liked only a few people who read this. But, it's nice having a record of what I've done. It used to be therapudic, maybe I should start again (inspired by Julie).
This summer had good and bad points, good being new friends and bad being losing one of my best. But, out of nowhere, Matt tricked me into hanging out with him. I don't think he's ever apologized to anyone sincerely in his life (you could tell it was killing him). I'd missed him so much. Now Mike and I get to see him and we never have to be fake nice to Sabrina again, ahahaha.
I used to be the kind of person who held gridged forever and lied about forgiving people. I seriously thought they deserved it. I guess I figured that no one was really sorry. After holding a grudge over Mike for a year, I saw how damaging that kind of midset can be. The me last year would've cursed at Matt and never seen him again. Really, I think any friendship is worth trying to rebuild, but the people need to acknowledge what they've done. If Matt had tried the whole "Hi, I hope everything's going well!" approach, I wouldn't have bothered saying two words to him. I needed to know that he knew what he'd done and how he was going to make the effort to fix it. We had such a history, I'm glad it worked out. You know someone is sorry when he/she allows you to say everything you want, no matter how offensive, without interupting or attempting to defend himself/herself.
I never thought that I'd be friends with Tim and Chris. Tim because of the whole he's friends with a moronic slut who got naked in front of my boyfriend thing and Chris because he was just one of the football guys who I tutored. They're both completely amazing and hillarious and I'm glad the summer is able to break apart the cliques of the school year long enough to meet new people.
I don't know how it's going to be when we get back and my "group" retruns. I know it'll be filled with drama, people will be altered, etc. Sometimes it's like Mike and I are outside of the bubble, or a bubble by ourselves and everyone's trying to oull us in with them.
It's almost been 3 years. Why do people try to compete with Mike for my attention? Gah.
All of my Summer Scholars kids facebook me and stuff. I'm so confident about being a real teeacher that I just want to go ahead and do it. My honors thesis looms and student teaching daunts, but those are my only academic concerns.
I have a pair of size zero capris. They're the only ones that fit my butt. This excited me because, from buying my own food all summer, I feared I was gaining.
