so close, so far

One exam left!! Almost doneeeee :) So So close to being done, but still so far from being home...I wanted to go home after my exam tomorrow but I haven't even begun to pack yet soooo thus I have to stay one more night. It won't kill me, but I'm really looking forward to being home. This is where having a car would come in handy...O well. Next semester hopefully.

I can't believe how fast this semester went by. This year even. I heard a song on the radio yesterday that I recall listening to while packing for winter break this time last year...this winter looks to be quite different, which is good. I have a license and a car so I have more freedom to come and go. I'll be returning the favors to friends who drove me around I'm sure, as well as taking munchkin here there and everywhere. I also don't plan to be injuring myself, but then again, those types of things are never really planned. I'm thinking I'll avoid the ice rink...sigh. That reminds me of the one bad thing different about this winter. Jennifer won't be here :(. Boo. I'm going to see her tho! yay!!! supposed to be flying, but Steph is saying she wants to take a road trip. I told her about my plans, and she said she's free around that time soooo a road trip would most def be cheaper then flying. I wonder if I cancel my flight if I can get it refunded? It would be a nice bandage for my bank account that's for sure. Which reminds me, I need to call tomorrow and see if I can grab some hours at Blue Mash over break. ARgggghh that was one aspect of this winter I wasn't planning on, but alas I am in desperate need of moneys. This winter will also be free from the emotional drama that plagued me last winter, thank you God. I'll also hopefully be going skiing and taking a winter class here at UMBC.

I should really be sleeping now, seeing as I only slept from 530-730 yesterday and then from 1030--1330. not really that good for me, though im sure sleeping for 8-12 hours all the 5 nights before that is why I'm not totally exhausted. Alas there are so many other things I am doing, eg writing here, talking to people on aim, and i'm sure I'll end up on some sort of game site eventually.

Rant time...why is it that I am so unable to find a decent guy? My standards aren't really that high. It seems like my ideal guy is a combination of all my guy friends. While it's definitely easier being single and free, and having guys as friends, at the same time there is always that desire for someone who is something more. That special someone. I know I'll eventually find the right one, or at least someone to get me started in the relationship world. My luck with guys has been almost nil since college. Oh well. I'm thinking it's time to be Miss Independent again like I was in high school, and then someone will come along and care enough to work through all my issues when I least expect it.

Okay brain is shutting down...9 days till Christmas including today weeee!!

peace y'all.

P.S. Common Sense Life Lesson for the week: don't wait until 10pm the night before an 8am exam to start studying (something I re-learn every semester)

Just a suggestion, but the issue may not be that you're "unable to find a decent guy," but that you seek out guys who don't share your values regarding relationships, while pushing away those who do. You know several "decent guys" who have treated you with the utmost of respect, but you tend to cast them aside in favor of those who are seek different things from a relationship than you do. Why you do this is a question only you can answer. Your standards must be rather high in that case, if simply being a "decent guy" is not good enough.

Grow a pair and tell the lady your name if you're going to be a jackass.

Maybe she doesn't want a run-of-the-mill guy who will be "decent." She's Devon! She deserves someone Above-Average AT LEAST!

Also, as she said, respect is hard to come by but it's not impossible to find. Of course, if we're referring to you it is impossible to find. Not telling her who is insulting her from afar is the lowest you can get when it comes to respect.

So, unless you want the security (that would be me) to come and kick you out of this exclusive club, I'd start signing the attendance sheet.

Get it?

Got it?

Good.

Anonymous,
As regards my getting involved with guys who don't share my standards, I learned my lesson from that last November.
As regards guys who do share my values, any desires for anything beyond simple friendship have not been mutual.
As regards guys who treat me with "the utmost respect", I've found few. Genuine respect is hard to come by these days.
As regards the height of my standards, I like to tell people my standards are impossibly high but realistically speaking, they're not impossibly high. A touch higher than the average guy is willing to meet perhaps, but not at all impossible.
While I'm sure your advice was well intentioned, you're a day late and a dollar short. Thanks though.
Also, if you're going to leave comments, please have the decency to grow a spine and sign your name. Although if you're someone with whom I've deliberately tried to end all contact, please refrain from future comments.
