be more social

Went to a party a month ago where I met a girl who also had trouble socializing.
All in all, it was a good night; especially after some specific people showed up ;)
Not much since then …

Been hanging with these people again.
Feeling more confident around people.

Yay me!

I kept in touch with some guys I met at the “pendaison de crémaillère”.
I even went to a little party with these people again. It was really nice :)

I went to the “integration” week-end; to celebrate newbies getting into medschool. I talked with a great guy there and I’m supposed to see him again on Thursday.
On the bus, I talked with two guys who I barely knew but who now recognize me in the hallways ;)

I also had lunch with the externs I’m working with and they seem to like me :) (and I like them too).
And a guy nurse seems to like me (really like me). It’s a good thing but I just wish he did not have these feelings for me. I just don’t want to be the bad girl who’s nice to him (giving him false hope?) but then rejects him.

I also talk with people from my english group and though I don’t speak I’ll ever speak to them outside of school, it’s still a good thing.

Last Saturday, I went to a friend’s “pendaison de crémaillère” (which is when you move into a new place). I talked with a lot of people and it almost seemed like I was a social person.

On Wednesday, he invited me at one of his friends’ party and I spent some time there. It was nice to hang out with people instead of staying at home alone.
I also saw K. that day and blamed him for what he told me (see previous entry). He said it was really good that I came to events like this one (and I learned that a girl he started talking to never contacted him again).

On Thursday, I had lunch and went to see a movie with a guy from school. It was kind of boring (poor him, I should not say that!) but at least, I made the effort.

Major OUCH for me yesterday.
Went to a little “meeting” with people from school (I have to say, in hopes of “accidentally” running into K). Tons of people were there and I was already feeling overwhelmed. Said hi to a couple of friends, to K (who disappointed me so much) and then got out.
I made it for five minutes, tops! I know this is ridiculous but I just couldn’t deal with that many people around, everybody happy to be here …

Spent the week in NYC, at a friend’s.
I got to meet many people he usually hangs out with; it really was a great experience.
I was able to show off both my english-related and social skills.

Yesterday: Spent the afternoon with a friend and we joined some of his friends (I had already spent a few hours with them a week ago).
Today: Spent the evening with my parents’ friends and their sons.

Saw my best friend yesterday and we hang out with his friends too.

Spent the evening with the 3rd year student I met during my hospital training.
We then joined his friends for a little party (and I already knew some of them).
Great night overall.

Met two guys from my high school + spent the evening with some of their friends too
