Spring Break

Well it has been relaxing if nothing else. The only things of note to report on are Ohio State accepted me for their law school and I am still waiting to hear back from Chicago and Michigan. Jon L has found a girlfrend in Marietta and says if he cannot find a job in 2 weeks he wil permanently move back home. With Berens doing the same after graduation in June, it appears yours truly will be the only resident on the premises over the summer. Great. More bills when I'm not working. Well guess I'll just have to be careful...as in no more buying laptops this quarter. In other words, this should not be a problem. Got my Origins pre-reg book today. Looking forward to it as usual but this year it is sandwiched between our family Florida vacation (looks like we are renting a house near the beach...I'm very excited about that) and Iowa trip. Speaking of, it would be really nice if my dad ever got back to me about the July dates...argh he is so forgetful.
(Note to Kelley: Probably dont want to read this paragraph...I'm open with my journal access to everyone, but just thought I would let you know this would be my favs only section if I had people who actually read my stuff)
Well the only other thing of note is that things between Kelley and I have been on and off the past week or so. It seems like things are good and then I say something and ruin it again. Stressful times switching over to relaxing times has not helped as she is in her time of the month and well, she's got every damn right to be moody over that. I'm glad I don't have to go through that...oh well enough said there. Like the magic comments from last week's fight never really got resolved. It bothers me that I talk to her for over an hour about it and I got maybe 3 sentences back. And every time she gets mad at me she gives me the silent treatment. Some days I wish she would say something. We fought a little bit over me being tired the other night, and I find that to be ridiculous. I was not that tired and then she puts in a movie I was not really into so I started drifting, then she starts picking on me for going to sleep. Then when I finally find out she was being serious about all the little comments that night, I go and put my fucking foot right up my throat by insinuating it was a sex thing. How could I possibly be dumber? It just blurts out and then I knew no matter what I did from there it was an uphill battle. And she eventually says it was because with me falling asleep she feels like an intruder on our house. WTF? She's as close to my mother as I am now basically and to say she's intruding, well I just do not understand it. Unless it was all BS to get us off the subject, but then why's it gotta be like that? And her grandparents give her the damn guilt trip for not staying for one night. Seriously, she's only there because Bruce is a big asshole. Why must they make her even more unhappy? Well enough ranting, it does not get anything done but blow hot air and make me feel better to get stuff off my chest.
So back to reality, I find out this week that Wyatt (a close friend) met a girl and a month later got engaged to be married this month. I am so sick of people like this who just up and marry while I have to wait. I mean I could have waited on the engagement, but God only knows what would've happened if I waited. At the very least Kelley would be upset and impatient for a ring and a committment, but these are the toils of a long engagement I guess. I'm just jealous of Wyatt in that way, but not jealous as I think in the long run Kelley and I will be a lot better off. Just did not expect such a person to get married before me.
Going to Boston area tomorrow to visit one of Kelley's close friends at her school. About as long a drive as it is to Iowa, so no worries there. Just hope a snowstorm doesn't hurt the travel. Should be a fun getaway either way.
Oh a sort of funny story. So we go to Applebee's last night for dinner. Many of our old high school friends work or have worked at this local restaurant since we graduated, so you almost always see a friendly face. Well surprise the hostess on a busy Friday night is none other than Sarah Wittekind, my senior prom date (which was at the time not only because I was interested in her but I also was spiting Kel for breaking up with me...ahhh the petty high school days). So being as the first time I had seen her in a couple years I was nice and asked how she was doing while she took down my name for a table in 15-20 minutes. Nothing more than that, friendly banter. And so we get a table and Kelley sits on one side and I sit on the other which happens to be at the front corner of the restaurant facing right where the hostess and host do their work in the lobby. So during the meal I notice that Sarah is spending an exorbitant amount of time looking at me when she is not helping a customer. Is someone jealous? In a way made me feel awkward but in a way made me feel good as well. Guess it just feels nice having a fiancee and a steady future and others being seemingly jealous of it. Maybe I read too much into things, but I just found the situation funny enough to mention. (In retrospect, I wonder what would have happened had I went to senior prom with Kelley? Could be a whole different story now...but I cannot ponder it. After all, butterflies are causing Tsunamis or something like that all over the world according to this type of thinking).
Well it is off to bed. Short night of sleep, then off to church and Boston. Have a good week everyone!
