It’s still the same old story…

Okay! So, another Spring Break has come and gone. Another Lent has come and gone (still going strong without soda!). Another day, another dollar, blah blah blah.
Not a lot really happened on Spring Break. I watched “Boondock Saints” and drank Guinness with Jason on St. Pat’s, which was great. I got a new job (when I wasn’t even looking for one) that I really did like, but I totally underestimated how busy I was going to be with job 1, Theo’s show, school, and just life in general, so I had to quit. And really, it sucks, because I didn’t want to be “that girl” who quits after three days, but what can you do? But, I really did like it, so when summer comes up, maybe I’ll give it another go.
Hmm, what else happened? OH! I finished my Small Group Communications class at Seminole with an A. One of the easiest, yet most fascinating classes I’ve ever taken. Can’t beat an instructor who shows Season 1 of “the Apprentice” as part of the syllabus.
I spent a huge amount of time with Dereck over the break, and that was a great time. We hung out and got to know a little more of one another’s character and that’s always a great thing. I know there are still a few of you out there who’ve been there since the beginning who still continue to question the entire thing, but rest assured…there have been those rocky moments, but we’re still trucking through, and it feels great. I can honestly look each of you in the eye and tell you that I don’t want to be with anyone else. In all of my past relationships, I’ve always looked for a reason to get out almost as soon as I got in, because I was never really certain that I was with the right person. Kevin told me the other day that I’ve a tendancy to settle. And, it seriously opened my eyes to the fact that he was right. But I’m telling you guys…this is completely different than anything I’ve ever been in before and for the first time, instead of looking for a detour, I’ve got my eyes on the road.
So, one thing that happened over Spring Break that was crazy didn’t even involve me, but rather one of my best friends. And, I don’t want to add insult to injury, because this girl means the world to me, but I honestly didn’t think I would be this disappointed. I really feel like I should’ve said or done something more to try to prevent what went down (I’m not going to tell the story here. If you know who I’m talking about, you already know the story), though I know that whatever you do, people are going to make their own decisions regardless. I will say that…you know you can count on me to help you when you’re down, but the only person who can pull you out of this is you, and it CAN be done.
Spring Break….hard to believe it’s already come and gone. One thing I’ve realized lately is that the days are long, but the years are short.
Now all I can do is plan. I plan to go see Natty this weekend, and I’m super excited about that. I usually try to go down there for her birthday, but I wasn’t able to because of my Saturday class. I haven’t seen Nat since Gary’s funeral and that makes me sad, because it’s been five months already. How did it go by so quickly? I’ve no idea.
So, in honor of the end of the beginning and time as a whole, I’m going back to an old favorite from one of my favorite films.
Hope your Spring Break was fantastic!
Today’s Song:
You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss.
A sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by…
And when two lovers woo,
They still say I love you.
On that, you can rely.
No matter what the future brings,
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs,
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion,
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man,
And man must have his mate.
That no one can deny…
It’s still the same old story:
A fight for love and glory,
A case of “Do or Die.”
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
