I'm typing this from the Frick Fine Arts Library.. aka, my job. I've worked a few hours every night this week so far. Not bad. I need the cash moneys. And it gives me time to make sure I actually do my homework, which is a definite plus.
I felt really down today for a split second. It just hit me - what am I doing? What do I want?
I just don't know.
But I'm also super tired and just really need sleep.
And to lose weight.
It's really sad how much of myself I lose (personality traits, confidence, clothes I can't wear) just because I packed on some extra -way extra- pounds.
Disheartening.
My mom came home from the hospital today. She was in overnight. Tuesday morning she went in for surgery - a hysterectamy. Nothing wrong with her, just wanted it out. Her surgery went well but she said that shes in a decent amount of pain, a suprising amount. She's tough though, and has a lot of strong meds. A lot of the girls she works with came to visit her, and brought her flowers and cards, which I thought was super nice. I'm glad she has people who care about her besides me. I mean, I always knew that everyone at work loved her, she's not someone who is hard to love. But she doesn't "hang out" with them a lot. I guess that doesn't mean they don't care about her though. This proves that they do. And I'm glad.
I ate sushi today with Nick Fleury. Do you know him? No. Do I? I do now. I had seen him almost daily last year, in and out of Lothrop. And twice a week, this semester, walking in back of the Cathedral. He's one of those people that is always nice and says "Hi", but when I thought about it, I realized I didn't know a single thing about him beyond his first and last name. So I facebooked him about getting lunch. And that we did. It was a nice time. He's kind of awkward but I think maybe he was just nervous. He came to college with his best friend from home (they're from Chicago. So, we talked and ate, and it was good. I need to do that sort of thing more often. I loved last year in the beginning, always meeting new people left and right. And I loved it when those acquaintances turned into good friends. I wouldnt trade my Pittsburgh friends for anything, but I want more. Am I being greedy? Maybe. I just love meeting new people. Shamokin didn't give me much of an opportunity to meet new people, but this is Pittsburgh!! It's a city. I want to meet more and more people. So that's my goal this year.
Besides getting my GPA up. (I neeeeed to study abroad).
I guess I'll go write my Seminar in Comp essay that was due on Tuesday.
ha. Woops.
