As is often the case with a new form of "networking", you always get so into it the first couple of days, then spend the next few days (or in my case, weeks) completely neglecting to look at it/post new things. Sorry. My most humble apologies. I actually have a good excuse however- I, the queen of laziness, procrastination, and loafing around, have been keeping up with my schoolwork, and doing a smashing job if I do say so myself :D. My grades are good, and I even worked ahead last week. However, I am procrastinating a tad bit now, which is what brings me here! Just kidding, I've been meaning to post soon.
I have come to the realization that college has had a reverse effect on me than it does on most. Instead of going from a straight-A goody-two-shoes to a party girl, I've gone from a slacking, promiscuous, self-admitted dumb-ass to a boring (in a good way), responsible, studious second-year collegiate. Whoever would have guessed? I can't take all the credit of course- my darling boyfriend, J, has been a key motivator in getting me onto the straight and narrow. I owe my (currently) B+ average all to that wonderful man. He's been the kind of guy that encourages me to do my essay now and not wait until the day it's due instead of encouraging me to take that last shot; to hit the books instead of a bong; to go down to the Chemistry help room instead of down on him; to get up for class instead of up onto the counter at a bar; to go for a walk instead of to a frat party. I can't even begin to thank him for all he's done for me. I know gushing about how much you love your boyfriend totally isn't cool in the world of single feminists, but sometimes, when the deck is stacked against you in your life, the help of someone who truly loves you can be the single most important thing to happen to you. And recognizing and appreciating that love is always right, even when it's not trendy this week.
That's all I have in the insight department tonight. Until next time,
G
