I love my man.

Tomorrow is the TOC and Nik, being the awesome handsome guy he is, is redoing my resume so it looks pretty! Woo yeah! It's going to sparkle so pretty that employers won't even notice how highly unqualified I am for technical jobs.

Mista Spa-kel!

Song of the day: Saltwater

I am not the Steelers...or Pitt

...in that I do not bring despair and disappointment to my boyfriend. I almost tricked him into not leaving :)

I'm glad Nik came this weekend. For a while he wasn't going to. Being around him makes me happy. I really hope things went better with him staying here. I really don't mean to inconvenience Helen by having Nik stay here. We just don't have anywhere else to go. I know it's difficult when I have to run to a meeting or something but Nik usually sleeps. Now that I know, we try to be more aware and only stay in the room for necessities... heh heh

Nik wears my pig pants to bed. They're pig pjs I got from the men's section of target so it's not like he's wearing women's clothing. Very cute. JBC and Nathan approve I'm sure.

I <3 my man

He works so hard. He's still at work even though it's late. This is probably because I distract him during the regular work day though...

:)

Awww, my sisters are so sweet. Someone posted a congrats email to the tridelt bboard.

Disappointed

So I just explained this whole thing to Nik so it's a bit tedious to have to write about it again but I feel like it's valuable blog material.

Basically, I've been feeling unusually down all day and I just recently figured out why. I got my offer from Merrill Lynch today...hurray...except no one is hurraying with me. So it's a little lonely out here cheering for myself. I can't expect people to care what's going on in my life I guess but the people I most expected to react positively didn't (except for Lei and Eugene).

Anyway. I got my offer today. I immediately text messaged Nik and Lei because I figured they should know first...since Nik is my boyfriend and I promised Lei I'd tell him when I heard from Merrill. I went to work excited to tell Anne because I knew she'd congratulate me...but she wasn't there. I called my dad and his reaction was pretty lame. I guess I can't expect all that much from my parents. Or I suppose he wasn't surprised that I got it; really all he cared about was the details of how much I'd be making and that did not satisfy him.

I talked to Nik about it online and he was giving me all these numbers about how the price of living in NYC is so much greater and that would devalue my offer blah blah blah. I knew that going into it. Basically, no ecstatic congratulations from the one person I definitely expected it from...

I wanted to tell one of my sisters because I thought maybe someone would post to the tridelt bboard with a little "snaps to Theresa for getting an offer from Merrill Lynch." I'm so silly. Well, I waited all night til I saw Helen and I told her. She was happy for me but I didn't get a post to the bboard. Oh well.

Earlier tonight I even called my brother (hoping he'd be more impressed given he's never had a job). No. I had to remind him that the offer I was given was more than he makes...but that doesn't matter I guess.

Basically, yeah...my offer from Merrill isn't that great. I don't even care the amount they're offering me because I wasn't going to take it in the first place. The point is I worked all summer and GOT an offer.

Congrats to me.

My first Being-a-Senior-Rules Moment

I just dropped a class because I don't feel like doing the homework.

Well, that's not completely true. That's what made me research whether or not I really needed to take the class, not what made me actually drop it. It turns out I don't really need the class since I'm not going to be able to get my minor in decision science (see entry below regarding being on waitlists as a senior). Oh well. I really need more me-time anyway. Even though me-time really only translates to tridelt time. ::sigh::

I'm tired. School sucks.

Another good weekend

So I'm going to be lame again and talk about the weekend I spent with Nik.

We went to the Strip Saturday morning and Nik helped me FMR shop. I bought the most awesome hat ever. Check it out:


Nik also got a cool #1 Pittsburgh foam finger. He likes it a lot.

There's also a cool new fudge place called Fudie Wudgie. I didn't think you could sustain a place where the productline is entirely fudge (and not located on the boardwalk at the beach)...but hey whatever.

I found out my man is a good dj. Yay! Too bad he didn't save me from the freshmen who were trying to hump me on the dancefloor.

Basically, good times.

Being in love....

So now is actually a really bad time to post but I feel compelled. Nik and I had a long conversation tonight that I didn't particularly enjoy. Basically he thinks that every guy I know is trying to hit on me and that I don't value our relationship enough to defend it against them. I argue that he is crazy and that guys aren't trying to hit on me so there's no reason to need to defend our relationship.
Also, my IS project team was kinda stressing me out because we hadn't completed a few of the parts of the milestone report that's due tomorrow and I was not happy at the prospect of having to write it myself.
Anyway, back to the main point. Right now Helen is on the phone with Danny and they do not sound like a happy couple (sorry Helen). Maybe it's just that she's bogged down with work...but I've seen this before. I feel like Helen and Danny aren't in love anymore...they're just in a relationship. While relationships are lovely and all being in love and in a relationship is even better. I am in love with Nik. I admit that I do question whether or not this in love feeling can last. I hope so.
I feel bad that Nik is so accommodating of me sometimes. He was really really tired but I made him stay on the phone because I wasn't happy with our conversation. I'd rather end our nights on a lovey-dovey note than an annoyed an exasperated one. He is good to me.
