I've realized that life seems to speed up as you get into college. Homework deadlines, tests, studying, and keeping up with the extra class work takes up a lot of time lately. This semester is already starting to test my patience. It's hard finding time to just relax with my friends as the sudden increase in homework seems to be affecting all of us.
However, this semester hasn't been all studies. I finally told Coady that we weren't ever going to get back together. It was a liberating feeling, and I didn't realize before how oppressed and overwhelmed I felt with him. He never tried to make me feel that way, it was just the way it was. I noticed that I hate disappointing people, and this is not a good trait when it comes to a love life. You have to do what's best for you, and sometimes that involves moving on and learning from your experiences. It was hard on both of us, and he hated me for a while, but I'm hoping that we can be the friends we were before we started dating. He's a good person, we're just different people now.
On the same note of my love life, I have my eye on someone new. While we aren't dating, we have been friends for a few months and we click really well with each other. It's a lot easier for me to like someone I already know, and who is already part of my group of friends. It also helps that we can work with each other on Cal II homework and complain about the professor together.
I found out earlier this week that I'm in the last round of interviews for a RA position. The interview is scheduled for Saturday, but I'm not sure if the date is going to hold up with an ice storm moving in. While I'm nervous about this part in the LONG application process, I have to say that the individual interviews gave me the biggest scare. I won't find out until mid to late February whether I have a job or not. Getting this job would mean a lot more financial freedom, because I would basically have tuition and room/board paid for.
I'm looking forward to the future, but not forgetting the lessons learned from the past.
Somehow, I missed this post. Glad to hear that you're moving on and moving up. I've been a little worried that you were still hanging on to some baggage, but knew you'd find your own way.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as the stresses of college go, just remember you're never too far away from a nice break. Whether it's an official school holiday, an ice storm shutting everything down, or just a point in the semester when you finally get caught up, you've just got to push on for a little longer.
My friend and I were talking about our much younger sisters today at lunch. And I don't think I ever told you that I'm proud of you for finishing high school top of the class. And how happy I was for you when you got that hard A in Cal I. Good job Goober! Keep up the grades, and hopefully this RA job works out too.
