To all my friends
Hi everyone,
To any of you who check your friends page semi-often and hope to find a post of mine there, or to my closer friends who want to know what's been going on in my life but have been disappointed to not find any updates here...I apologize.
Some of you have clearly assumed that I've been spending every waking hour with Jonathan, simply because I love being with him and he makes me happy, and that is why I haven't been around. Wrong. And I resent the comments I've received on myspace to that effect.
While I do love him dearly with all my heart and greatly enjoy being with him (physically, not just relationship-wise), the reason I have been not online and generally unavailable is two-fold.
Reason #1: Benedicte and Alex, friends from France, spent 12 days here this month, starting on my birthday and ending on the 20th. I spent each and every day entertaining them and going all about New England and New York with them, sleeping on the futon in the living room and not really getting to spend any quality time with myself or with Jon. I didn't have access to my computer for pretty much the entirety of two weeks. The end.
Reason #2: This summer hasn't been spectacularly 100% fun-filled. I spent almost the whole month of June tutoring Jon in calculus. Don't construe that as bitterness, because I really enjoyed doing it, but it was time-consuming. Also, I have placement exams for my grad program next Tuesday and Wednesday. Four exams, each 2 hours long, in the span of 36 hours. Coupled with the fact that I worked much more than usual at the Mansion in July, the amount of hours I've logged studying is insane. I should be studying right now, in fact. On the days I've spent with Jonathan, I've felt slightly guilty in the back of my mind for not studying. It's hard, it's almost at an end, but it's taken up my "free" time this summer. I'm sorry if I chose to spend one or two days a week with Jon and not putz around myspace and facebook and livejournal and AIM all summer long.
So, sorry. But I'm alive. And I do still want to hear about what you're all up to, and I hope to be able to get in touch with you soon.
Just fucking knock it off blaming my wonderful boyfriend for my lack of free time.
