Here's whats been going on since the early summer  
12:50am 06/09/2007
 
 
It's been a while since I posted. It seems like there isn't much to tell about, and yet it also seems like there is a ton of new stuff going on in my life. 

It seems so wierd to not be back at school right now. I am now working 33-35 hours a week in a clinic of an animal shelter, and working probably 5-15 hours a week at the river. The money isn't great, but it's something for the time being. I am in the process of filling out applications at both of the Chicago zoos. I am not too hopeful but I am trying to be optimistic. That would be such an awesome job. 

Frank and I got back together toward the end of my time in Charleston. I got asked out on a date by a friend of my friend Sarah. I went, and it sparked a few things. I think it made Frank jealous, so he finally made up his mind about what he wanted as well as letting me know, and it made me think about relationships, and what I wanted from them. When I moved home at the beginning of July, it was really hard because he didn't have a phone or internet, so we only got to talk when I managed to catch him at the liibrary or on a few occasions when he called for a few minutes on our roommates phone. 

Once he moved home, he had a lot of spare time in the weeks right before student teaching started, and so i got to see him a few times a week, it was really nice. Now that I have more hours and he is so busy with student teaching and coaching, the visits seem to be about once a week, but lately even less. I was supposed to be out there right now, but then he found out there was a team dinner and a volleyball for the team he is helping to coach at the high   school, and no one would be at his house so I wouldn't even have been able to wait for him there. 

At least the river job will only be for another 4-6 weeks at the most, and then my weekends will open up a little bit. Although by then maybe I will have completed applications and maybe gotten another job? Who knows. 

People keep asking me what I want to do now that I have graduated, and it feels really lame to not really have an idea anymore. I think I would have liked vet school, but with my GPA I don't think I could even get in. Am I just making excuses? I don't know, but I do know I need some time away from school and homework.

I love my job right now, but it doesn't pay enough to be able to save up enough money for the future. Tomorrow I plan on finishing zoo apps so at least that will be one less stress to deal with. Time to go to bed so I have energy tomorrow to get things accomplished.

It's been a pretty good week  
09:19pm 29/03/2007
 
 
So, the last few days have been really good. Other than just wanting someone around for company or to cuddle(sometimes I get lonely pretty easily) I haven't been really upset and depressed about Frank. He and I have even joked around a bunch when we're just hanging around the apartment. There were a few days when I got really angry with him. This was just after the weekend, when all of the people I know in PSP were putting up pictures from their formal. I saw a bunch of pictures of him with his arm around one girl or another, or even one where two of his friends (both girls) kissed him on the cheek. I was really angry at him at first, but then I realized that (with the exception of one, whom I think he has no interest in) all of those girls have boyfriends. And then I remembered how much of a flirt he always was, but that he never meant anything more than just making people feel good about themselves. You could tell how drunk everyone was in those pictures, and it made me kind of glad that I'm not part of that anymore. Now I'm not against hanging out with good friends and having a few drinks, but I just don't see the point anymore in aiming to get wasted. I don't think I ever really did, but it was what everyone around me was doing so I went along for the ride. I'm not saying I didn't have fun at the time, but I don't think that is me anymore. I feel like I've grown in the last few weeks. I feel like I can finally turn another page in my life. There will be times when I will miss him and what we had, but I feel like I can move on. Still another month or so of living in the same apartment, but it doesn't seem as bad now as it did. I don't feel like I have to tiptoe around anymore, and I also don't feel like I need to shut myself out so that it doesn't hurt. 

I believe that you never truly stop loving someone, but something I heard over spring break sticks out in my head. I will always love him, but I can live without him.

"Thought that everything was perfect,
Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
Thought you thought that I was worth it,
Now I think a little differently.
All I wanted was your
Love, love, love, love, love, love."

This song just about sums up how I'm feeling right now...

So this week has been...interesting for lack of a better term. I find that I'm (usually) pretty ok during the day. My mood is pretty good, I can even handle being in the same room, watching TV, or even talking to Frank. But at night, especially when I start to get tired, that's when I start to feel bed. All I can do then is shut myself in my room and try my best to get my focus back, and attempt to get more studying done. It usually doesn't work very well, so I go to sleep. At least I'm getting to bed earlier than I had been. I jsut keep telling myself, only one more month of this. and tehn graduation and then the Bahamas! At least I have a great summer to look forward to.

So, last night I think it was just kind of a shock to come back, and see Frank after a week not really (or at least trying not to) even think about him. Today has actually been a really good day. Other than having to go to classes again (8am's are still a pain in the butt). I came home in the afternoon, and he was around. We talked a little, just normal everyday type stuff, but it didn't really upset me like I thought it would. Hopefully things stay all right, I don't want to never be able to use the living room in my apartment when he's home. 

Spring break was nice. I didn't do a whole lot, but it was nice and relaxing. I got to spend some time with my mom, and a few of my other relatives. I also got to see friends that I don't get to very often. Micki and I finally had spring break at the same time, and then a few others are living in Chicago. I did some mini-golfing, frisbee playing, LOTR risk playing (Micki and i got our butts kicked - surprise surprise). I worked a little bit with the kitties at Treehouse, and spent quality time with some really good friends that I haven't seen in a long time. I really didn't want to come back, but I just have to keep telling myself that it's only for another month and a half.

Time to go study some rodents for my quiz tomorrow morning.

Less than 2 months left...

So I thought I was doing a lot better, but then I got back here and had to deal with Frank being around the apartment...

I don't know if I can handle this...

I don't think I am going to be comfortable being around him more than I need to for a while, so I guess I'll be staying in my room most of the time, or in the library much more. At least I will get more studying done...

Hello LJ  
02:18pm 16/03/2007
 
 

So I had a whole long thing written out, and I accidentally clicked something, and when i hit the back button, it was all gone....I'll try to remember what I had, but this makes me mad...

I've decided to start a live journal so that select people can keep in touch with what's going on with me, and whats going on in my head. I don't know how regularly I'll post, but I'll try to update it once in a while.

Since Frank broke up with me, I've been really upset. Even though there are reasons why I don't think I want to get him back, I still really miss what we had. It was good for a long time. This year, it slowly started downhill, and this semester it started getting really bad. It started with little things that I didn't notice much, or I didn't notice all the time, and then other things would happen, and it all just escalated, until it was too late. I tried talking to him a few times, but either he blew it off, or made it sound like everything was fine. I just really want to know what changed to make him not want to be with me anymore...

Leonard came over last night, and we had a really serious talk. The whole evening went back and forth between being really fun just hanging out, to really serious with me crying my eyes out. He's one of the few people I am comfortable crying in front of (though I still don't really like doing it), otherwise I hate crying in front of people. He was really trying to help me through the confusion. Seeing as he's been through a really tough break up before (I know, irony, but he says he's over it now) so he had some good advice. He's been so sweet and caring. It made me really want to kiss him, but I know right now is the wrong timing, and it would be for all the wrong reasons. It's been so long since I felt wanted romantically or physically. and I really wanted him, but at the same time I didn't because it would have really damaged our friendship, if not ended it completely. And I wouldn't give up on that for the world. I know I just need time for myself right now. But it's so hard sometimes, especially at night, as I'm falling asleep. There's nothing but me and my thoughts, and nothing else going on to distract me. That's when it hurts the most. 

Now I am really really tired. We were talking until about 1:30 last night, and then I had to get up at 6 to go to work this morning. I tried taking a nap, but again my head got in the way. I wish this week would never end. I am not looking forward to the awkwardness of my apartment at school. It should be interesting to see how it is for the next month and a half. 

Time to get ready to go and visit Theresa, a friend I haven't seen in a while. More updated later.

mood: exhausted exhausted
