Today was a much better day than yesterday, and a much better ending to my week. I went to brunch with my current roomie and then flea-marketing, I did lesson planning, had dinner with some friends, and spent more time with more friends. It was a nice night, and I feel so much better than I did last night/early this morning.

I wish my weekends were longer. I feel like I have so many obligations to so many people. I’m still moving things out of my parents’ house (though very slowly), I have to grade things, do lesson planning, do laundry, clean my apartment…when all that’s said and done I sometimes don’t have much time to myself. And that’s a bummer. Tonight was an exception. I made time to do things I wanted to do. After the week from hell that I’ve had, I think I earned it.

I dunno. As my wise friend told me today, I’m going through a massive growth spurt. Everything changed in my life so rapidly over the span of a few months, it makes sense that I’m still adjusting. If that means I’m as insecure as an adolescent girl, then that’s just a part of the process. I think I’ve learned from the last few days to not be so paranoid: no one’s leaving me; no one’s abandoning me; no one’s ignoring me; people do care about me. I just need to get through this rough transition and I’ll be fine.

I feel like I reconnected with an old friend tonight. I’m glad for that.
