so much for staying on top of things.
i’ve pretty much been absent the last month. i’d vow to change that,
but i have a feeling that with this quarter, i’d be setting myself up for
failure.

i suppose a set of updates are in order:
school: good, but definitely going to be a tough quarter.
i’m enjoying it so far…
except for the spanish part.
i’m taking a lot of cool classes, including photojournalism and another studio class.
(i’ll have more posted HERE in the next few weeks if you want to stay updated with that.)
holidays: christmas was spent in durango, a nice long relaxing vacation.
i couldn’t have asked for more. it was good, but also good to get
home.
new years was spent in denver with some friends. most of whom i didn’t know.
i suppose it was good to meet new people, but in reality, i’ll probably never
see any of them again.
so goes life.
the weekend after new years, my sister and her husband came to spend the weekend
with us. the rest of my family came down on that sunday to do our christmas.
short, but fun.
i think sometimes maybe short and simple is better.
home front: i feel like i should give some big exciting news here, but in actuality,
we’ve actually been getting very good at the whole home-body thing.
being home is nice, a good way to relax. darren is already getting
anxious for another vacation, so i think we might try to get out of town
for a long weekend soon.
nothing definite yet.
this week has actually been kind of odd, too. not necessarily in a bad way.
just weird.
last weekend, my friend melissa and i were out shopping for one of our photo
shoots. we’re in the middle of target and i end up running into a girl i knew from
high school.
actually, she moved away after our freshman year, and i think i’ve seen her once since then.
random.
we are going to go out for drinks next weekend, tho.
then, on friday night, d and i went on a double date with one of his friends and his
girlfriend. p.f.changs and a comedy show.
good times.
but, while i was washing up in the bathroom at dinner, a girl walks in.
normal, right?
except that she looked oddly familar. i smiled, said ‘hello’ and went on my merry way.
only as i was walking back to the table did i realize i also went to high school with her.
only this girl wasn’t so nice to me. she was in the so-called ‘in crowd.’ really, one of those
that made my life a living
hell.
but does that even matter anymore?
i noticed she intently watched us as we left the restaurant.
awkward!
but, whatever. high school is over and done with. it’s the real world now.
