Major? 1 week ago

After some thought, reading, personality/aptitude tests, and talking to the counselor, I’m thinking I may head more toward a career in anthropology, as I love studying not just how individual humans work, but also how societies work and develop. The counselor was quite impressed with my assessment test results, which was encouraging, and she recommended quite a regimen of courses. :D I’ve found a couple of scholarship contests that are right up my alley too…I am SO EXCITED!!

Ok...this one is scary. 1 week ago

Yesterday, just after merging onto the freeway, I was side-swiped by a big rig. Neither the driver nor I were quite sure what happened, but I think he must have swerved into me—there’s no way I could have missed seeing a huge purple 18-wheeler! Anyhow, after we pulled over and were exchanging info, what should I see on the side of his cab but a huge “223”...his truck number.

Maybe C was right…the number IS stalking me.

Better. 1 week ago

I still think about her a lot, and I’ve noticed that when she doesn’t hear from me for a while she’ll text me, or chat with me online. I know she’s not ready for more than friendship right now, though. And maybe all this means we wouldn’t be right together anyway…or maybe it’s just bad timing.

Either way, I’ve also realized I can’t jump right back into dating—I’m not ready for it, I still have strong feelings for C and it wouldn’t be fair to another woman to date her while I’m emotionally unavailable. I’m going back to focusing on me for awhile, getting things going with school and continuing to better my financial situation. But I will admit, I still hold out hope that the right time will come along with C. She’s really an amazing person, and I think we fit well together in many ways…both with our similarities and our differences. Plus, she motivates the hell outta me!
