Take on me
I only got a few hours of sleep because I stayed up until 3.30 on the phone with the consultant, and had to get up before seven to take my friend to the airport. I'm feeling good, really tired but good. I was thinking about a nap, and I may lay down for a few minutes, but Connie's going to Amherst to work, and I'm going to go with her. I know that if I sleep, I'll be less tired, which would seem to indicate better work, but after all these years at Smith I don't know what to do with myself when well rested. And plus, I'd get up at 1, no one would be around, and I'd spend another day playing online instead of working on my paper. No thanks.
Our conversation last night, as with pretty much every time we talk, was good. Really good. It's interesting to be in the place of acknowledging our interest, not pretending to be aloof, but still taking it slow. Hoping it goes somewhere, but not putting pressure on it to be any one thing. Interestingly, it turns out she's a scorpio. This is in addition to being a chemistry major and coming from a family that's been in the restaurant business for generations. I swear, I don't seek this out, it just happens. It'd be odd anyway to see all these weird similarities with Holly, but especially since I had no idea when we started hanging out. Whatever. They're so different in the ways that we interact and in the ways that matter to me, so it's not really a big deal, but it is odd and a little creepy.
My mom and I had a really good conversation last night. I was talking about being stressed about my paper, and she was actually really helpful and supportive. We talked about graduation stuff, which is inherently stressful, but it was fine. None of the bickering that often happens when we try to plan important things. I told her about the consultant, which may seem odd given the whole "slow" thing, but I like to keep my mom up to date. We've come so far that I can once again tell her about the things going on in my life and it's nice. She was excited when I told her that she's from Chicago, and glad that we're keeping it relaxed. As she said, I have enough school stress that I don't need relationship stress too.
Word.
