I have discovered one thing about myself: if I go home after work, I lose any and all motivation I may have had for working out. Grrr. So today I packed my gym stuff with me and I will not allow myself to go back to the apartment until I have spent at least an hour working on my bikini body!
I talked to my parents last night for almost an hour, lots of catching up to do even though I was just there last weekend for Passover. I kinda trained my parents starting early on in HS that if I bring a guy home for dinner, they really aren't to think a whole lot of it since I had a ton of guy friends. I guess this can kinda make the guy nervous but it is no big deal at my house and it makes it pretty easy for me to go meet parents since I forget to be nervous. So over the years my parents have met a lot of my ex-boyfriends and have been able to give me some pretty good insight. Not that I always listen of course, but hey, what are kids for afterall. I had a couple of guys that came over that my parents basically told me they didn't like, and as much as I was into the guy at the time, I have always come to see those flaws that I was blind to and my parents hinted at. So I called them and asked them what they thought of Will who did in fact have the time to come to KC with me and told my mom that I would go ahead and bypass the whole hindsight thing and just get her opinion on him now and not bother waiting. As little credit as I have given them they are damned perceptive when it comes to me and relationship drama.
Speaking of drama, my big is single now and my best friend is now engaged. I'm definately happy for my big: the guy was being waffly about what he wanted from her and jerky and was kinda irritating me since he would do things he obviously was not interested in doing to make her happy, but then he didnt seem to care about that either.... hmmm. About my best friend, she and her boyfriend broke up not too long ago (maybe a month) and hes been wierd since, but apparently decided that he couldn't live without her and proposed and she accepted. I am happy for her, but I can't see myself engaged now: I am way too young and have big plans for myself and the whole family thing is still a ways off. A LONG ways off. Not that I am opposed to getting married while still this young, I just don't understand it. But hey, I never claimed to be normal and I take after my parents way too much in some ways.
On a last note for now, I think I have figured out how to graduate early :-) If I can take one class this summer or do my independent study even though I no longer plan to go to Japan in the fall, I can do 20 hours this fall (ece 310, 341, 351, 460 and MAxx) at school, then 18 (ece 379, 414, 461, and 497) and in the winter and be done at the end of February. Kinda cool, and I could save myself the $10K per quarter that my school costs. AND I could go travel for a couple months if I already have a job and get to Japan and France and see my family and friends. So we'll see. I'm pretty tempted.
