Well, things are looking up on the academic side. I am confident I'm going to get through this hitch in the road. It's just so nerve-wrecking. I can't wait to get this over and done with so I can move onto the next phase of my life.
And of course, today was going sooooo well... and then Mike decides to be a total douche. I don't understand men sometimes. Especially when you have such a fantastic relationship, and this whole "just friends thing" starts going swell... and then they get all bleepin' weird on you. Maybe if I was a total ditz and didn't know he was lying, I'd be okay with it. But lies of convenience just frustrate me. He should know by that I know when he's BSing.
Anyway... I'm glad that you're getting settled with school, and finally have something to sleep on. And don't worry, I totally understand the second-hand stuff. Our entire living room was furnished by things we picked off the street and at garage sales (hence the tacky gold and pinks) Febreeze and portable carpet cleaners will be your best friend.
So... enjoying life as an English major yet? *chuckles* Any idea what literature "era " you think you might be zeroing in on?
