Such a crazy busy couple of weeks. Between homework, I met with the ALA last week in Providence- say hello to the new social media director! This position didn't exist before that night; I'm glad I know all about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the other stuff. It's going to come in handy.
I have some papers that are going to be due soon, two presentations, and two final exams. I've started most of this and will actually be postponing a handful of it for the next four and a half days(starting Wednesday) because I'm going home to surprise my mum. She has no clue. I've had the tickets for three months and have been lying for that past one. My aunt that's picking me up from the AMTRAK told the rest of my family, except her and my step dad. That actually makes for a fnny story.
So, the other night we are chatting about my work week. I just got her set up on Skype and she told me she would bring her laptop so could join them on Thursday. She suggested I get a little chicken so I could join along. Anyways, she then told me her and my step-dad would be out for Wednesday. Uh oh, I come home that day. I asked her to put my step-dad on, not on speaker phone because I didn't want to worry her about my "car troubles". So she did, and I told him to pretend like I was talking about car issues. I then had to tell him that they needed to be home by 2pm because- surprise!- I bought tickets forever ago and snagged four days of time off. He laughed and told me 'yah, you should get that checked out.' I said goodnight to my mum and have been laughing ever since.
I am looking forward to navigating Boston on foot. I think I might enjoy it more that way. I'm strange that way, not liking Boston. But the people are too solitary, I feel awkward around them. And I don't do awkward very well- I consider myself outgoing and extremely extroverted. So, this doesn't bode well for me. But, I'm going to have Heat Rises with me on the train, so I'm a happy woman.
At the end of the semester, I am having some close classmates over to celebrate a hearty semester. A friend from Boston and my Management partner who Skypes with my from Chicago will be in town, so I might as well scoop them up!
I have also been on three dates within the last three weeks, of which were with the same guy. And those, surprisingly, haven't gone where you'd expect. And its weird too because a guy(who's now a dear friend of mine) did the same thing to me back in high school. We went out, spent time together, and shared hand-holding affection. Shortly after, he said he wasn't that into me that way. Now, I'm in his shoes. This guy is my age-20s-(which is nice because I seem to attract the 30 year olds...that aren't Jason Segel!) he's sweet, odd, nerdy-ish, and driven. Maybe that's part of the problem. He's set to go to Germany next year and I am focused/centered here in my grad program for the next 1 1/2 years. Needless to say, it's been something like eleven months since I last dated. When I did, it was for two and a half years. Plans went a different way, for one reason or another, and I find myself sitting behind a huge wall that I had absolutely no idea that I had built. I'm over the last guy, but I'm not wanting to get attached to this new one. Maybe I just want to be friends, maybe I've fallen for an old friend back home, or maybe I just need some more me time. Nonetheless, I do have a pretty interesting social life to speak of. For that, I am happy. No, for that I am Thankful ;]
On that note, I'm going to turn my attention over to Nathan Fillion. I love Monday nights! I will tell you how the book is when I return to Rhode Island!
