The latest stuff

Alrighty, a few things to ramble about. First off, work has actually been pretty good. My staff and I went to a baseball game last night, which was super fun (even though we lost. Badly.) It was Dollar Dog night...mmm, nothing like cheap hot dogs, cheap seats, and staff bonding. It was an excellent time. I also survived a weekend on duty without any major campus-wide meltdowns. I'm happy to say that in just over a week, this place is going to clear out. AND my classes are going to be over. I'm glad--learning is fun, I'm a nerd, but even nerds need breaks.

Other news... I finally had The Talk with ambiguous relationship guy. Things went about how I had a feeling they'd go, but without as much crushing disappointment as I expected. I'm ok about it. Really. Well, mostly, anyway. Of course, my temptation is to rush right out and find someone new to obsess over, but I know that this would be foolish. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if there's no fantastic guy in my life, it's becaue there's not supposed to be one right now. Or maybe I've already met Mr. Right and don't even know it. Or I'll stumble across him when I stop thinking about it for longer than five minutes. At least I SERIOUSLY hope so. Platonic friendships with heterosexual males are all well and good, but eventually they just don't cut it. I'm lonely, and I'm looking. But I will try to relish the two or three great things about being single, without feeling sorry for myself. (Somebody might have to remind me that I just said that when, a few posts from now, I start whining about I need a man, I hate being alone, blah blah. I realize that this optimism is temporary.)

Holy crap...one more week, and another semester will be over. Where the heck will I be a year from now? Still single? Moving again? Getting ready for a PhD program? I honestly have no idea. I wonder if all 27-year-olds feel as directionless as I do.
