Life update!
I hope you guys had great times during the holidays and are going to have fun tonight! I did and I am.
So yeah! College. I suck pretty much. I was planning to have just graduated at this time, but a teacher needed to change a grade from the spring semester and he ended up not doing it because even though I gave him all the work I was supposed to and did well, he dropped this bomb: I had to give him medical documentation for each specific date I missed class in the fall. Yeah, dude, I was feverish and puking with the flu twice that semester, but I didn't go to the doctor for it. It's a virus and the doctor would have just told me to drink fluids and sleep. Soooo because I have no records of my illnesses, I'm screwed.
The good news, though, is that I did great in everything else grade-wise and I only need that one class now. That means I can work full time anyway, it'll just have to be at a job that doesn't require a degree for the time being.
Things had been super happy and fun with my long-time boyfriend--better than ever this fall, and I saw a lot of him which ruled. (He lives two hours away from college.) So I was going to move back to Pittsburgh to finish that class at a branch and start driving again so we could hang out all the time and be normal and not just voices on the phone most of the time. However, he had some kind of freakout which I still don't understand and decided he didn't want to continue the relationship. It's sad because I feel like it wasn't given a proper chance, since the long distance really made it hard and we're amazing in person together. Now it seems like he suddenly isn't the guy who took me on cute dates and sent me wonderful text messages a million times a day anymore. I miss that guy.
Anyway, I'm staying with a friend in State College and already have a job at the local diner. I have more friends there, but it'll be a more expensive living situation. But now there's less of a reason to be in Pittsburgh. Decisions, decisions.
With all of this weighing on my mind unexpectedly, a friend made a generous offer to buy me a plane ticket to Los Angeles so I could visit him and other friends out there. It's going to be a great chance to be around friends and specifically to see Michelle again! So that's wonderful. I've also dreamed of getting to go to The Rainbow and the Whiskey and experiencing the Strip as a whole since I was young because of all of those glamorous stories of the 80's. I need this right now.
So I'm sad but I have so much newfound strength and confidence for the future. I have wonderful friends in my life, I'm so close to an important goal, and I think I'm someone who has a lot to offer other people and the world. Life's too short to be miserable and there's too much to enjoy.
