Surprise

Posted on by jeanneji

So yesterday after work, I was able to have Amy help me with a Craigslist item. I am now the proud owner of a LoveSac Supersac. Be jealous- it’s bigger than your small car.

I’ve been working a wonky full time schedule lately. Ups and downs, but bearing it. I was up in NYC but didn’t get to meet up with Adrian due to location and our circumstances; I’m working on going back up some time so we can hang for real. I haven’t seen him in over a year! Last time was actually back in London. Wow.

On a second note, I have not heard back from Matt which I’m really bummed about. We used to be pretty close and he said he’d let me know when he was back and nothing yet. He’s working too, but who knows.

On the up hand. Despite the stupid drama I made for myself at home, I had the best moment at work. I had sent Dave an email about something I found a little bit ago, and we haven’t spoken in just over 2 weeks (new record on top of breaking our 4 month trend this month). I know he’s crazy busy doing boards and such so I try not to bother him. At lunch I checked my email. Dave. He replied to what I had sent and then added at the end,

Miss you

Ok, so I know that doesn’t seem like much. Two words, and it’s not even like it’s the first time saying I love you or anything, but for me (us), this is huge. For the type of relationship we have, I see him 3 times a year (if I’m lucky, 4) and we “talk” (which is more either one email and reply or a literal couple of texts) every 2 weeks. That’s not a whole lot, but to miss something there- that’s monumental. Plus, for the first time in my life, I feel special.

But those are the key words here. He added a line after which would translate as “I hope you’re doing well” to any other couple, but you know how we nerds love to play with words.  I thought it was particularly cute. I’d post the whole email here but I kind of want to keep it to myself right now. I could not stop smiling at lunch though, and I keep smiling now as I think about it. The weirdest thing though, as I’m laying here in bed writing this, I can smell his cologne.

I can’t decide if I’m supposed to be a trooper and wait out until June when he comes back or see if a visit is welcome when I’m out in Pitt. Not sure which is more endearing since I know he has things to do- but I can’t tell if

At the end of the day, I am the happiest girl in the world.

Tired

Posted on by jeanneji

I’m exhausted. I’ve only worked 2 week days and it couldn’t end sooner. Looking back at events on my phone, it has barely been a few days since I’ve had contact with some people and it feels like months.

It’s only for a few weeks, but I just want some time to myself. There was no transition out of school. I’m still not really sleeping, but working full time. I have the worst eating habits and I’m sick of everyone trying so damn hard to be “thin” and have all this useless crap (not mutually exclusive items).

No, I’m not completely innocent- yes, I like nice things, but it’s been bugging me lately how materialistic people are/have become. One thing is for sure though, I need to stop trying so hard to impress people and make decisions for myself. As much as I do things for myself and on my own, I am still entirely too dependent. Be the change.

I can’t believe it. It’s Monday morning. 9 May 2011. I have completed my third year of school, which means that I am finally half way there.  I’m sitting in Acura at the moment getting some maintenance on my car and updating my phone to a later update of CM7. Love gingerbread, but I hope maybe this has something do with my compass being off it’s ass.

My phone is currently syncing right now so I have all the time to write.  I’m starting work tomorrow full time-ish. 4 days a week every week and every other weekend on top of that; this means I’m alternating between working 4 and 6 days a week. Until I get fully trained and can handle my own, it can get a little slow at the time. I was with Jenn and Blue over the weekend and I picked up my first pair of scrubs! I don’t know why that’s so exciting, but I am so happy about it. 3 pairs, but I might want to get some more scrub tops so mix and match (and also not wear the same thing all the time). 

Well Speaking of Blue, that’s Jenn’s cousin from Texas. She’s here for a month and we’re trying to show her around and give her this phenomenal experience in the area. Here’s to the best month ever only because we kids here have done it all already. Now there’s a reason to actually  do something.

I’m gonna put this computer away at the moment so I can fix all the settings on my phone.
