I have been stressing…as noted in my last post. Having terrible nights, unable to sleep worrying about school and work and keeping up with both. But something happened yesterday that made it all much better.
Some old coworkers called me and asked me to come meet them at a local bar and oddly I was only a block away at a local record store with Charles. A few drinks into our time at the bar, one of my coworkers starts to confide in Charles about his girlfriend and their relationship. It was wonderful to hear Charles talk about our relationship, and offering examples of compromise and moments were he realized how much he appreciated our relationship. It is like hearing someone you really admire saying that they admire you. It was sweeeeeeeeet.
After drinks Charles and I went out for some snacks on our own and I confided that I hadn’t been sleeping well and was stressed at school He gave me some good basic advice, that honestly I would have given to anyone else, but hadn’t realized for myself. The advice was, why not just let my prof know I was falling a bit behind and what could I do?
I slept so much better last night realizing that I could have a little more control of my sitiuation. Luckily bright and early at 7 am this morning I meet with my prof (class starts at 730am) and he told me not to worry about our timelines. Things are looking a lot brighter.
Next entry will be less, whine whine, and more gossip about moving in with my man! Agghhh, yeah, we are going to be living in sin. I’ll send you invites.
