CMU is like a boyfriend...

...most of the time I really love it but sometimes it doesn't make any sense. I look at my schedule and I have no idea why I'm taking half the classes I'm taking. I know it all made sense at one point and time...but it doesn't now. I can't believe I'm waitlisted for classes I'm required to take. What's the point of being a senior if there are no privileges associated with it? ;}

Anyway, other than that things are going really well. There was no gradually getting back into the swing of things. Monday alone I had 9 meetings. Ha.

So I was thinking of changing my email signature to more fully capture why I might be sending an email. Here is what it would look like:

Circle K - Vice President
Rho Lambda - Service and Philanthropy Co-Chairman
Dance Marathon - Catering Chairman

I feel like it's a bit much. I'm not really down with putting every little thing I do in...I feel like it's just showing off.


Now, on a different subject, my boyfriend is not like CMU. Whereas CMU likes abusing me Nik does not. I wish I could go hang out in DC or something. I miss KASMOD too. I also miss Baskin Robbins.

I had lunch with a friend today. We talked a lot about our relationships. While we did talk about a lot, there are a couple of things that stand out in my mind: One year isn't long enough and I attract weak personalities. He and I argued a bit over each of them. I don't think I actually attract or am attracted to weak personalities. His reasoning was that I have a very strong personality and I am attracted to guys I can control. I definitely disagree with that view. While I do have a strong personality I like to think that I don't let it overtake my partner. For example, I hate making the decision on what restaurant to go to. But if we go to a restaurant that I would not necessarily have chosen if I were eating alone, I'll tease about it. My friend says that teasing about the choice is pretty much asserting my view and discouraging my boyfriend from making decisions not based on what I want. Interesting theory. I hope it's not true. I would rather have someone to debate with than a man with no opinions.

Bad girlfriend

I am a bad girlfriend. Nik is at work right now - his first day. I didn't talk to him at all last night, not even to say goodnight. I know he's excitedly nervous and I wasn't even there to support him or wish him good luck. I feel very guilty. Just last week I got upset with him for not being more considerate about something that was important to me and went and did the same thing. I had forgotten my cell phone in Reinaldo's room and I was not in the state of mind to go get it at the end of the night. The first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning was Nik and his being at work. I think if Nik is having a good day everything will be ok...but if he's having a bad day I think he'll be upset with me. No matter what I hope he's having a good day because I love him and I want everything to be perfect.

Appreciation

I appreciate Nik for pretending like he can't build Ikea furniture so I can build it for him. I'm also glad we went out for Japanese food (which I think he enjoyed more than I did) and for buying yummy yummy hand-packed Rainbow Sherbet from Baskin Robbins.

6...

As of yesterday (the 4th) Nik and I have been dating for 6 months. It seems so long and so short at the same time...
