stay in touch with friends

The first few weeks were fairly easy, my phone bill may have been a little higher and i may have been on my facebook ALOT more than one should but it felt good to keep intouch
Now half a year in, its getting harder and harder to communicate because i have been so busy as hav my friends back at home.
Im going to make a much bigger effort now, because i miss everyone so much and have no idea wats happenening these days!!

I like a many girls

I am challenging myself to do one of the above daily with folks I am not in touch with regularly. Yesterday I emailed Z.

this is working quite well and it’s great!

i talked on the phone with two really old friends today…
it was freaky.

Emailed the girl I mentored and an old roommate recently.

Going to college in 12 days…I don’t want to leave them behind. They’re the small handful who always understood.

making friends with my choir collegues…
nice evening, i had fun. they’re interesting people. and i don’t feel so stupid tonight! :-)

i arranged a date with m. i had this absurd fear of speaking with her again, because she is so incredibly smart and she does so well at university. but i just did it and we are going to meet after her exams. :-) i’m glad. she is really really nice and it was a pity not to be in touch anymore.

she used to be like a sister to me when we were children…now we don’t see each other so much. i dont know why, i suppose it’s just we both are busy people and we go to different universities, we don’t live in the same area of the city, etc…
but i still love her a lot, and when we see each other we can talk for hours.
today was her birthday and she invited me to have dinner with some friends: it was a nice evening, we had fun. i met her boyfriend: he seems to be a good guy. the other friends are nice, too.
i don’t know why i had not told her about my boyfriend – i was too shy i guess…it came out tonight and i was sorry i hadn’t told her before…in fact she was the first person i wanted to tell about it, but then never found the right moment.
i gave her a book as a present, i hope she likes it…i hope it doens’t seem a poor present (i do love books and appreciate them when given as a gift, but some people think they are anonymous presents)...well, this is it anyway!! she also gave me a very nice ring for my birthday (which was two months ago) and i feared the book was inadequate. but i love that book!
it was an unusual and pleasant evening…
and it made me think that i need to vary my environment, the people i frequent.
