A Good Week

Hello trusty readers. I have had an incredible week. I’ve been in to my new office (with that über cool desk) every day this week. I even went in during the morning hours and loved it. (For those of you who do not know me, this is an accomplishment. Generally, if there isn’t a fire or a horse related job/event…I won’t be getting up one minute before I have to). I still didn’t enjoy the waking up part, but I made my coffee and off I went. It turned out to be very rewarding. I enjoyed waking up early and immediately doing something productive. (Yes, I realize that those of you who know me are sitting at your computer with your mouths hanging open…go ahead and shut it, you look like an idiot).

Also, I discovered something about myself. I like graphic design. This came as a surprise to me. I’ve been struggling to grasp the concepts in my design class, and I was beginning to believe that I was not meant to be one with computers. However, today I spent time working on an assignment for this class, and I did a really good job. I couldn’t believe it. This assignment that I’ve been having the hardest time with just clicked with me today.

When I returned to good old West Lafayette Sunday, I did not come alone. My cat Smoky has been “acting out” if you will. She does not like my dog (who unfortunately must live with my parents currently) So, Smoky came to live with me. She is just so happy! She acts like she did before we had a dog. Yesterday morning I’m afraid I woke up a roommate. I was looking for something in the closet (and consequently bent over) and Smoky jumps on my back (inadvertantly putting a claw in my ass). I yelled something and jumped up really quickly. She hasn’t done that in years! Her and her sister, Ruth, used to do it all the time. I think this is a sign that she is feeling much better and happier.

On a more personal note, it’s been a good week for “dating opportunities” let’s call them. Two people have guys they would like me to meet and another friend admitted that if he were not taken he would ask me out. What better to boost a girl’s confidence? I’m a fairly confident person on a day-to-day basis, but I am a girl. We get down on ourselves. Sometimes we get in dating “dry spells” and feel like we have “dating leprosy.” So, to all you fellow girls who have been there, ignore that feeling. And the next time that stupid little voice in the back of your mind asks what’s wrong with you…you answer, “Nothing, what’s wrong with you, bitch.” It won’t solve any of your dating problems, but it will make you feel a helluva lot better!

It’s amazing how one good week can make you feel so much better. It is unclear how next week will go (I do have 2 tests), but I will always have the memory of tihs good one. =)
