This is going to end up being an updatey post. There's no way around it. So let's go in typical OCD fashion and make bullet points!
Miami
...was awesome. Even though the weather wasn't %100 awesome, still waaaay better than the crap you had here. It was a short trip, and I think the trip to Tampa last year was more fun, but the Orange Bowl was awesome, the game was really good and we won! Can't complain too much.
School
I kinda sucked at school this past semester. Really bad. I tried to give myself an easier semester, but between getting sick a lot, dealing with personal situations, having no money, and just being in a really unfortunate place in my life, it didn't work out. But I'm really excited for this next semester to start. I'm taking some really cool classes (like Steel Band!) and I'm back to having a crazy full load. Will probably end up being 19-20 sh. But that's what I like.
Boy
So here's the back story:
We met in marching band (?) last year, didn't hang out a whole lot, but were good acquaintances. So this year we start hanging out quite a bit, he likes to cook so we would all meet at his place and study, cook, eat, have a good time. Never really considered him a romantic interest, mostly because I was in a relationship. When that fell through, we were still hanging out all the time. I'm not sure when it happened, but things kind of turned from friendship to a little more than that. But neither of us really acknowledged it, which at the time I was ok with. I wasn't really wanting a relationship. But days turned into weeks until it's December and our little nonrelationship is still happening, and my feelings have changed. Everyone's telling me to just talk to him, which anyone that knows me I cannot do AT ALL. I don't know why, but I think I was so worried about getting a negative response. I guess nothing is better than bad? Yeah...that didn't fly. Talked to B about it (which, a little awkward? but good) and he kind of knocked some sense into me.
So it gets to be New Years, we went to a party together, midnight rolls around and no kiss for this girl. Naturally, I'm upset. Upset enough to finally deal with the situation, basically told him "Hey, I like you, are you dumb?" There was more said than that, but the end result is we finally (IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME) acknowledged we are into each other. And guess what. We're going on an actual, legit date. Tonight. AHHHHHH. So we'll see what happens. But I'm excited!
In conclusion...
Life
I feel like my old self again. Like in high school, when I was crazy busy but I had my shit together., I had really good friends, I had a good relationship, etc. It's taken me awhile to get back to that place, but it finally feels right. I'm just genuinely happy, and I haven't been in a long time.
