July huh?
So, I have not posted in this thing since July. Ooops. Thanks to MySpace for taking me away from all my other blogs (there are quite a few).
So.. what I've been up to.. my first semester at North Park in Chicago. My favorite course was International Politics even though it was the only B I got, thanks to a bad midterm grade; least favorite by far was Intro to Bible, which my prof taught as if it were grad school level, total BS. All in all, I ended up with a 3.75 GPA out of 4, impressive even to me. I wasn't expecting much about a 3.0. Thinking back, I could have gotten an almost perfect GPA if I'd tried a little harder and did less sleep and internet-surfing and probably less ditching class. Alas, 3.75 will do.
I really love my school. It took a few months to really settle in, but the structure and routine has been very healthy for me. Hitting the gym almost every day there too so I'm seeing a positive change in myself that way too. I've let go of a few "toxic" relationships, as one of my friends referred to them as, but am still holding on to one of them. Being honest with myself, I am not ready to walk away, even though he's made it clear what he wants from me (...wishing I had the courage or will to not give it to him). Just had an almost-relationship with a guy named John from Texas, but over Christmas break that all went to hell for many reasons. I'm still dusting myself off from that one, and am not "in the market" for a relationship at this point. I can hurt myself enough without looking for a guy to assist in the process, yknow?
So, I moved most of my stuff to the dorm today. I moved down the hall because my roomie Jen is going to Mexico for a semester to study, so I moved in with Djougine (Ju). I officially go back to school Tuesday, but will end up going sometime Monday to unpack more clothes. I'm going to try to get more settled in at school and stop going home so frequently. I was a definite hermit last semester while I went through the whole transition, but am planning on behaving differently this semester. I have less things making me want to spend time at home - some difficult family situations going on, and friends at "home" becoming more distant, too.
Got a new job... working weekends as a receptionist at a small real estate company in Lake in the Hills - quite far north, in McHenry county. It is enough to make my car payment and pay for gas and a movie here and there, and it's all I can manage with my crazy school schedule. Next semester holds - sociology, spanish 2, statistics (aaaah!) and a specialized NPU course that is mostly Literature. I think I will have more than enough to keep me busy.
K, that's all. Goodnight.

it had been a long time. I knew something that started with my and ending with space had to do something with it. Wow- we need to catch up on things.
Ya- it is hard to fight feelings. sometimes I wish we were robots, but that is no fun.
Sounds like you are settling in well- ciao!
