Just a quick update and then back to my studies!
Next Thursday (Nov. 20) we are done for the trimester and on Thanksgiving Break. Super excited about that! BUT - that means this week and next is project cram time. Which is always fun, of course. If I can make it through the end of this week and get the majority of my work done, I'll be smooth sailing!
This weekend Bobby and I along with his suitemate, Chris, are going snowboarding! I am waaay excited for that. First time for the season and I can't wait! =)
It's funny...because sometimes I'll get upset at Bobby but like 2 seconds later, I'm giggling all over again. haha. He just makes me smile and he hates it when I'm upset...so it's hard to stay mad at him. I have to actually make a conscious effort to stay mad..and then I still goof it up! haha..oh well, I guess that means something- not sure what though, but I think it's good. =)
That's all for now, lots of homework and projects to finish!
Peace, Love, and Patience...

Complaining Friends...
Finding happiness is about finding what you love. Life is about love. If you love something, it makes you happy - without having to try. If I love to laugh...does that mean I love the source of that laughter? I think it does, but that brings another question. Is that the sole reason...or do I just love that part of the source? Am I denying/ignoring other parts because I love one part so much? I'm not sure...of anything!
Yes, that was confusing. Just a bit of introspective I suppose.
This weekend Bobby is in North Carolina. His sister (Kristine) got married to Pete today. Pete is from New York. I miss Bobby. I noticed earlier that I am not quite as chipper when he's not around. Well...while I'm at school anyway. Around my family I am chipper because they make me laugh just as hard and I love them very much. But, out here...he makes me chipper! lol. Anyway, he is having a great time and I'm glad he got to visit with his family - he's been missing them. He's comes back tomorrow...I can't wait! =)
Last weekend, a friend of mine mentioned that she does not like Bobby because, 1. I don't spend time with her anymore. 2. I do the things that he wants to instead of what I want to do.
I would like to respond to those accusations.
1. I wouldn't spend anymore time with her even if I didn't have a boyfriend. Not because I don't like her, because I love her. But, it is because over the summer I made a commitment to myself not to drink as much. Every time her and I hang out...we drink. Hence, I don't see her as much because I don't want to drink so much. Also, I have a very heavy class load this trimester and Bobby and I only eat breakfast and dinner together...and that is only because we live on campus and I would really rather not eat alone.
2. Bobby does more what I want to do than anything. He makes what I want to do, what he wants to do. This goes back to 1. because she thought I didn't go out with her, her boyfriend, and HIS FRIENDS on my birthday because Bobby didn't want to go out. Truthfully, it was because I was wiped and didn't want to have to be nice to her boyfriend and put up with his friends. It was a little because I didn't want to make Bobby uncomfortable - but I didn't actually ask him if he wanted to go out after dinner or not. And later, he said he would have liked to go out with my friends afterwards. So, really I don't give him enough credit. Anyway, he is also my boyfriend - so YES I am going to sometimes do the things that he wants to do because I like making him happy just as much as he likes making me happy. That's how we operate. We do things for each other because we each like seeing the other person smile and feel good. So sue me. If I didn't like doing the things Bobby likes to do, then I wouldn't be dating him.
ANYWAY...sorry I just had to rant a little. And ladies, if your friends get boyfriends...let them enjoy it for the first few weeks - hell the first few months because you start complaining. Bobby and I have barely had a chance to date before my friends started whining. And PS it is also because my personal situation has changed outside of dating him that I haven't been hanging out with them as much lately. The first month of school I WAS NOT DATING HIM and I still didn't see ANY OF THEM! I have actually seen them more that we have been dating than I did before we started. HAHA..isn't that ironic.
Also, he clearly makes me happy. Even if you don't like your friends' boyfriends...if he treats her well and makes her happy...leave them be. Speak your peace, give them your blessing, and leave it BE! Would you rather hang out with her and have her miserable, or not see her as much and know that she has never been happier? Ask yourselves that next time you start to gripe about how much your friends hang around their boyfriends.
Okay...even though there is a time change - I'm tired! Goodnight!
Peace, Love, and Patience...
